In an age of successful movies based on video game characters like Mario, Sonic, and Nathan Drake, it was perhaps inevitable that we would get a Minecraft movie starring Jack Black as unassuming player-insert Steve. The actor confirmed the casting on Instagram in a suitably silly style; the film is targeting a 2025 release.
Disney May Have Accidentally Outed Star Wars Outlaws' PS5 Release Window | Push Square
05.01.2024 - 00:43 / pushsquare.com
We already knew that Ubisoft was plotting a 2024 launch for its open world sci-fi shooter Star Wars Outlaws, but a since-edited post on a Disney Parks blog may have nailed down more precisely when we can expect to visit a galaxy far, far away. Multiple outlets, including IGN, noticed the original blurb referenced a “late this year” release window for the title – but that line’s since been edited to a more neutral “in 2024”.
None of this is all that surprising really: we certainly didn’t expect this ambitious outing before summer, and a brand as big as Star Wars is generally always going to skew more towards the holidays anyway. Also, it remains to be seen whether Ubisoft Massive will even be able to realise this ambitious project by then: we imagine a delay into 2025 isn’t entirely out of the realms of possibility at this point.
Whenever it releases, though, we know fans are itching to check out the title. You voted it all the way up into second on our Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games of 2024 poll, and it was only beaten by the all-conquering presence of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. With that game due out in February, expect Star Wars Outlaws to dominate the spotlight entirely as we tiptoe deeper into the year.

Mad that it came second in the Most Anticipated Games of 2024 list… having said that I do like the look of it.
Modern day Disney, Ubisoft open world… Are people actually excited for this?
Doubt it will be before 2025
The majority of my excitement for this title stems from it not being developed by EA.
Disney need to bite the bullet and develop games in-house — or, adopt the WB Games model of buying a decent studio and working more closely with them.
Seems to me, its too easy for Disney to take a back seat on these games and we will never get anywhere near the potential unless those that own and manage the brand are fully invested.
Think about how much hidden lore there could and should be in this Outlaws game. Now think about the process Ubisoft devs would have to go through with Disney execs to secure it in the game. And now realise how much will not be in this game as a result.
@inconspicuoususernam
Yep. Probably wait until 2025, (drastically cutting back my game buying), but I'm definitely going to pick it up.
@PixelDragon Cutting back on your game time for whatever reason will make your game time far more enjoyable.
Playing fewer games for longer has been my approach for a few years now and it's much more enjoyable than frantically trying to keep up with everything like I was doing in my 20s and early 30s.

Ubisoft Corrects Star Wars Outlaws Release Window From ‘Late 2024’ to Sometime This Year
Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's expansive open-world game set in the galaxy far, far away, was briefly known to be eyeing a ‘late 2024' release window, as per a recent Disney Parks blog. That has since been corrected to reflect a general timespan this year, with the publisher confirming to Kotaku that the timing was incorrectly displayed. First revealed during an Xbox Showcase last year, the title is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi movies, and introduces Kay Vess, a space scoundrel with a bounty on her head after botching up a job. Joining her on the crusade is the adorable axolotl-like alien Nix, performing certain actions at your command — akin to the BD-1 droid from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Disney says Star Wars Outlaws coming 'late this year,' then quickly takes it back
For a brief period of time earlier today, it looked very much like Ubisoft's open-world heist game Star Wars Outlaws would be out sometime near the end of 2024. The word came by way of a Disney Parks blog post, and while it's not quite a specific date, it's definitely more precise than what we previously knew—that it's expected out sometime in 2024.

Are we in a golden patch for Star Wars games? It certainly feels like that could become the case, as Disney has sought to spread the franchise out from just films and animated shows to encompass a myriad of TV spin-offs, lesser told stories and video games. Star War Outlaws looks set to smash the epic space opera setting together with all things Ubisoft when it comes out in 2024.
