Star Wars Outlaws, the highly-anticipated open-world title, will not be arriving on PS5 in early 2024 as previously expected. While Ubisoft, the game’s publisher, never announced an official release date, it was initially planned for this fiscal year, indicating a launch before April 2024.
Though the latest financial report from Ubisoft does not explicitly mention Star Wars Outlaws, it does confirm the delay of a “large game” into the fiscal year 24-25 in order to “maximise its value creation.” Given that Ubisoft does not have any other major releases scheduled for this fiscal period, it is highly likely that the report is referring to Star Wars Outlaws.
However, this delay might actually work in the game’s favor. The early 2024 release schedule is already crowded with numerous highly-anticipated titles, so pushing back Star Wars Outlaws will allow for more breathing room. Furthermore, considering the lack of recent updates or news about the game, it is not surprising that the release was always uncertain. It is expected that the marketing campaign for Star Wars Outlaws will be massive once it ramps up.
