Initial Buzz: A Glimpse of a Release Window
In a moment of excitement, a Disney Parks blog post sparked headlines by stating, "For Star Wars fans—Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world Star Wars game is set to release late this year." The post detailed the game's promise of exploration across diverse planets in the galaxy, embodying the emerging scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix.
The fleeting excitement was short-lived as the blog post was promptly edited, revising the release information to a more ambiguous "in 2024."

Despite the fleeting release date tease, snippets about the game's features and narrative have surfaced. Narrative director Navid Khavari hinted at a seamless journey across planets, emphasizing a transition from on-foot exploration to speeder rides and space travel.
Khavari shared insights about the game's protagonist, Kay Vess, highlighting her non-Jedi, scrappy nature, promising players an immersive experience set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Moreover, the prospect of encountering iconic characters like Jabba the Hutt adds an intriguing layer to the gaming experience.
Star Wars Outlaws, under development for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5, assures hand-crafted planets, akin to the scale of zones in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. Despite its expansive open world, the developers clarify that it won't be an overwhelmingly lengthy RPG, assuaging concerns of a prohibitively long gameplay experience.
While the brief glimmer of a late 2024 release date tantalized fans, the revised information leaves the specific launch window for Star Wars Outlaws shrouded in uncertainty.
