Ubisoft’s official Japanese YouTube account has leaked the release date for its upcoming Star Wars game, Star Wars: Outlaws. According to the leak, Star Wars: Outlaws will be released on August 30th.
Ubisoft will officially release the game’s story trailer later today. My guess is that this trailer will also reveal its release date. In theory, this trailer will go live in a few minutes.
Star Wars Outlaws is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. In this game, players will explore distinct planets across the galaxy, both iconic and new.
Players will assume the role of Kay Vess; an emerging scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life. Alongside Vess, players will find her companion Nix. Players will fight, steal, and outwit their way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates as they join the galaxy’s most wanted.
Star Wars Outlaws will be powered by the Snowdrop Engine, and it will support DLSS 3 at launch. Or at least that’s what NVIDIA has stated. And, since this is Ubisoft we’re talking about, I don’t expect it to pull another Dragon’s Dogma 2 on us.
The game will also have Ray Tracing effects. Ubisoft and NVIDIA haven’t shared any additional details about these RT effects. My guess is that we might get RTGI, similar to what we saw in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Finally, it appears that this new Star Wars game may be exclusive to Ubisoft Store. As of now, there is no EGS or Steam page for it. Not only that but its press release back in June 2023 stated that the game was coming to PC only via Ubisoft Connect. I’ll be sure to post a new story once – and if – the game comes out on other digital stores.
Stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
The EGS page is now live, meaning that Star Wars: Outlaws will be released on Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect. Similarly to Avatar, though, the game will skip Steam. At least at launch.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
