Star Wars Outlaws Launch Date Revealed for Nintendo Switch 2

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. However, fans eager to dive into this space adventure on the new Nintendo handheld will need to wait a bit longer. While the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, Star Wars: Outlaws won't be available until September 4. This intergalactic heist game, set between the events of "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi," follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal with a death mark from a cartel. Our reviewer rated it a 7, praising its fun exploration but noting issues with simplistic stealth, repetitive combat, and several bugs at launch.

Ubisoft shared this update during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, alongside details about the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled "A Pirate’s Fortune." In this expansion, Kay Vess teams up with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. "A Pirate’s Fortune" is slated for release on May 15. While Ubisoft kept further details about the Nintendo Switch 2 version under wraps, the confirmation of its release date adds to the excitement surrounding the Switch 2 Games List.

For American and Canadian gamers currently navigating the uncertainty of pre-order availability due to new tariffs from the Republican administration, any news on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games is a welcome relief. As we eagerly await more information, the confirmed release dates for Star Wars: Outlaws on the Nintendo Switch 2 and its new story pack keep the anticipation high.
