Ubisoft has introduced a launch date for Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2, as a preferred character returns for the sport’s second DLC.
Star Wars Outlaws might have underperformed for Ubisoft nevertheless it’s nonetheless one of many higher Star Wars video games of current years, even when it isn’t fairly up there with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
The open world motion journey is getting a second likelihood on the Nintendo Switch 2, and now Ubisoft has confirmed the port might be launched on September 4, 2025.
The launch date was revealed at Star Wars Celebration, alongside some footage of the Switch 2 model and, as you’d anticipate from a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S title, it appears just like the visuals have been knocked down just a few notches to get it operating on the hand-held.
The footage hasn’t been uploaded to Ubisoft’s official channels but nevertheless it was proven throughout a livestream, so the video high quality isn’t nearly as good accurately. Even so, it doesn’t look horrible, contemplating Outlaws is likely one of the higher wanting present gen video games of current years.
Other present gen video games confirmed for the Switch 2 embrace Split Fiction, Borderlands 4, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, and Two Point Museum. Little is thought about Borderlands 4 but, however Outlaws remains to be most likely essentially the most technically superior of those titles.
Elsewhere on the occasion, Ubisoft debuted footage from Star Wars Outlaws’ second DLC, A Pirate’s Fortune, which is about to be launched on May 15.
As proven within the trailer, Kay and Nix crew up with pirate Hondo Ohnaka, a personality from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels voiced by Jim Cummings. The pair will face off in opposition to Stinger Tash and her Rokana Raiders, as you infiltrate the Khepi Tomb. (Yes, that may be a actual sentence that is smart for those who’re a Star Wars fan.)
Speaking of Star Wars nerdiness, on the 40 second mark within the trailer you may see what appears very very similar to the Stinger Mantis starship from EA’s Star Wars Jedi video games. There’s meant to be 17 yr hole between the 2 video games, when it comes to Star Wars chronology, and given the dangerous man is (hilariously) referred to as Stinger Tash, it could be she is the unique proprietor.
If in order that’ll be a uncommon instance of one thing being invented in a Star Wars sport created by one third occasion writer after which reused in one other.
The DLC may even embrace beauty gadgets impressed by the TV collection Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, together with an outfit for Nix, a trophy for the speeder, and a trinket for each the speeder and the Trailblazer.
A Pirate’s Fortune is the second of two deliberate story expansions for Star Wars Outlaws. The first, Wild Card, was launched in November and starred Lando Calrissian.
If you haven’t performed Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft has launched a free demo throughout Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC the place you may discover Tatooine for as much as three hours. However, you may’t switch your save progress from the demo to the precise sport.
A brand new technique sport titled Star Wars Zero Company, developed by Respawn and Bit Reactor, can be set to be showcased at Star Wars Celebration on Saturday, April 19.
