Ubisoft Updates Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Window Following Report

Grab your fedora, whip, and pistol because Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is plotting a course to consoles soon. After being announced via a small teaser in 2021, we’re now finally starting to put the pieces together on the mystery that is this new title from MachineGames. While many very popular and successful games have been inspired by the Indiana Jones film franchise, including Uncharted and Tomb Raider, Indy himself has yet to star in a true action-adventure game worthy of his legacy. Will this game be the one to remind audiences who the true pioneer of set-piece action and globe-trotting puzzle-solving is? Only time will tell, but we can at least guess based on all the clues we’ve unearthed.

Kept you waiting, huh? That’s right, Snake is back and looking better than ever. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a project that was rumored for a long time before being officially announced recently. This remake of the hit PlayStation 2 title, which was the third mainline entry in the Metal Gear Solid franchise, is often considered the best by fans and critics alike. However, with the departure of series creator Hideo Kojima from Konami, the idea of a remake being handled by a different team was met with skepticism. It seems that Konami is confident in the project, so we’ll just have to wait until we get our hands on it to see how the final product shakes out. Here’s everything we know about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

The Silent Hill 2 remake rumors have faded into the fog and become reality. The classic title is considered by most to be one of the best horror games of all time, and now it is getting a complete remake. Unlike the disappointment that was the HD Collection, the game will be fully recreated from the ground up for modern hardware. Still, with such a beloved game, and Konami’s troubling track record in recent years, fans may have more concern about this announcement than immediate excitement.

According to Deadline, Showtime is currently targeting a 2025 release date for the highly-anticipated Season 3. This comes after pre-production on the next installment was indefinitely delayed due to last year’s WGA strike, which lasted for 148 days.

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”.

When Star Wars Outlaws was formally unveiled in June, Ubisoft handed it a general 2024 release window, and that release window was seemingly narrowed down by a recent Disney blog post that stated the open world action-adventure game would be out sometime in “late” 2024.

Star Wars fans looking forward to Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws got an update to the game's release timing yesterday — and then didn't.

Yesterday (January 2), it temporarily appeared that Star Wars Outlaws’ vague 2024 release had been narrowed down with an all-new launch window. However, Ubisoft has now stated that this was an error, and the old, incorrect information has already been removed.

Star Wars Outlaws is the biggest and most significant release Ubisoft has planned for this year, and it certainly looked impressive in its first showings back in June. In a new preview published by Kotaku, more brief details have been revealed on the action-adventure title’s open world setting and what players can expect from it.

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 dropped a blog post today teasing what the House of Mouse has in store for fans across the next 12 months. Among the things the company reaffirmed was that Star Wars Outlaws is indeed coming this year.

Update: Earlier today, a Disney Parks blog pointed to Star Wars Outlaws releasing in late 2024, but the term «late» has now been removed from the post so that is now reads just 2024. Ubisoft also confirmed to Kotaku that, «the timing was incorrect and has since been amended.» So, Star Wars Outlaws' release window has moved from late 2024 back to some general time this year.
