Star Wars Outlaws’ summer release date leaks ahead of official reveal

Ubisoft Japan accidentally beat its global counterparts to the release date announcement punch, leaking the fact that Star Wars Outlaws will launch on August 30.

At 9 a.m. PT Tuesday morning, Ubisoft planned to release a new story trailer for Star Wars Outlaws, its open-world shooter about a smuggler fighting to stay afloat in the galaxy between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Ubisoft set premieres across all its intentional YouTube channels for this trailer, and while the description for most of them had a message along the lines of “Stay tuned for the World Premiere of the Star Wars Outlaws Story Trailer,” Ubisoft Japan slipped up.

As spotted by Gematsu, the description of a since-delisted premiere for the trailer on Ubisoft Japan’s channel revealed an August 30 release date. That is big news, as Ubisoft has not revealed much about Star Wars Outlaws or when it will be released since unveiling it at the Xbox Games Showcase and Ubisoft Forward live streams in June 2023. In fact, Ubisoft denied a claim by Disney back in January that the game would be released this fall. In reality, it looks like Star Wars Outlaws will be arriving just before the beginning of fall if this is truly the worldwide release date for the game.

Now, we just have to wait to watch the full trailer, which will likely reveal more details about the game and affirm this release date later today. Whenever it does come out, Star Wars Outlaws will be available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
