Disney says Star Wars Outlaws coming 'late this year,' then quickly takes it back
02.01.2024 - 22:46 / pcgamer.com / Kay Vess / David Zaslav / For Star
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.
«For Star Wars fans—Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world Star Wars game is set to release late this year,» the 24 Oooh-Worthy Things at Disney Experiences in 2024 post said. «The game lets you explore distinct planets across the galaxy, both iconic and new. You can risk it all as Kay Vess, an emerging scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life, along with her companion Nix. If you’re willing to take the risk, the galaxy is full of opportunity.»
I write «said» rather than «says» because shortly after the blog post went live and people began to notice the «late this year» part, it was quickly edited to remove the time frame and now says only that Star Wars Outlaws is set to come out «in 2024.»
Fortunately, thanks to Wario64, gone is not forgotten:
So, was it an unintentional spill of the beans, like the time Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav spilled the beans on Mortal Kombat 12, or was it a simple typo, like when my brain said «Minesweeper» and my fingers said "Minecraft?" Hey, it happens. (And I fixed it already, so don't bother looking.)
Either way, late 2024 is a good bet: The holiday quarter is crowded but it's still the traditional money-making season, and the fact that the year is now upon us and there's still not a more accurate release window makes me think that «later» is definitely more likely than «sooner.» There's also the possibility that Star Wars Outlaws does a Skull and Bones and sails off into 2025 and beyond. For now, though, a non-specific «2024» is it: In a statement sent to PC Gamer, a Ubisoft representative said the blog post was an error, and that the release timing remains unchanged.

Disney May Have Accidentally Outed Star Wars Outlaws' PS5 Release Window | Push Square
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”.

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.
