Star Wars Outlaws: Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Revealed

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. However, fans eagerly awaiting the space adventure will need to exercise a bit more patience as it won't be available at the launch of the new Nintendo handheld on June 5. Instead, players can mark their calendars for September 4 when Star Wars: Outlaws will finally hit the shelves for the Nintendo Switch 2.

For those who might have missed it on other platforms like PS5, Xbox, and PC, Star Wars: Outlaws is set in the timeline between the iconic films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The game follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who finds herself targeted with a death mark by a powerful cartel. Our reviewer rated the game a 7 out of 10, describing it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it's hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."

While Ubisoft didn't provide many new details beyond confirming the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2, this update is significant enough to warrant an addition to the Switch 2 Games List. This news comes at a time when American and Canadian gamers are stuck in pre-order limbo due to Nintendo's ongoing assessment of the new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration. Any news about upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch 2 is a welcome distraction during these uncertain times.

The announcement was made during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan. Ubisoft also unveiled details about the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled A Pirate’s Fortune. In this expansion, Kay Vess will team up with the infamous Hondo Ohnaka to challenge Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is set to launch on May 15, offering fans another exciting chapter in Kay's adventures.
