In an unexpected turn of events, Ubisoft, the renowned gaming giant, accidentally let slip the much-anticipated release date of “Star Wars Outlaws,” sending waves of excitement and speculation through the gaming community.
The revelation occurred during preparations for the debut of the “Star Wars Outlaws” story trailer, scheduled for April 9. Ubisoft, in its eagerness to drum up anticipation for the upcoming title, inadvertently disclosed that “Star Wars Outlaws” is slated to hit the shelves on August 30, much to the surprise of fans eagerly awaiting its arrival.
The journey of “Star Wars Outlaws” traces back to 2021, a pivotal year when Ubisoft and Disney forged an alliance to bring this ambitious project to fruition. The collaboration came hot on the heels of EA’s decade-long exclusivity deal with Lucasfilm coming to a close, opening up new possibilities for the Star Wars gaming universe. The official unveiling of “Star Wars Outlaws” took place in June 2023, accompanied by a captivating cinematic preview that left fans clamouring for more.
Scheduled to coincide with the April 9 trailer premiere, the inadvertent revelation of the release date by Ubisoft Japan in the early hours of the day caught many off guard. The premature disclosure stated unequivocally that “Star Wars Outlaws” is set to make its mark on August 30, with an early access period commencing on August 27 for players opting for the Gold and Ultimate Editions of the game.
The leak not only disclosed the release date but also hinted at exclusive early access privileges for players investing in the Gold or Ultimate Editions. However, details regarding pricing and additional content bundled with these editions remain shrouded in mystery, awaiting official confirmation from Ubisoft.
Following the swift retraction of the expansive trailer description and the removal of the YouTube Premiere by Ubisoft, speculation continues to swirl regarding the exact contents of the forthcoming title. One tantalising detail unveiled in the leaked information is the promise of an expansion pass, promising further adventures in the “Star Wars Outlaws” universe. Fans eagerly await further elaboration on the contents of this pass, poised to be revealed alongside the story trailer on April 9.
The inadvertent revelation of the release date has sparked discussions among industry experts, hinting at a potential earlier launch than initially anticipated. While Ubisoft has refrained from committing to a specific release window beyond its current fiscal year, which concludes in March 2025, signs pointing to an earlier release began to emerge in late March. The issuance of age ratings in Australia and South Korea hinted at imminent developments, setting the stage for the unexpected disclosure by Ubisoft.
As anticipation mounts and speculation runs rampant, all eyes are now set on the upcoming story trailer premiere, poised to offer further insights into the captivating world of “Star Wars Outlaws.” With the inadvertent leak adding fuel to the fire of excitement, August 30 looms large on the horizon as fans eagerly await the opportunity to embark on an epic journey in a galaxy far, far away.
