Ubisoft Announces Open World Star Wars Game ‘Outlaws’ Set for 2024 Release

In a surprise reveal that has excited both Star Wars fans and open-world enthusiasts, Ubisoft has officially announced *Star Wars Outlaws*, a brand new open-world action-adventure game set within the Star Wars universe. Developed by Massive Entertainment, the studio behind *The Division*, the game is scheduled for release in 2024 and promises players the chance to explore the galaxy like never before.

Set between the events of *The Empire Strikes Back* and *Return of the Jedi*, *Star Wars Outlaws* follows the story of Kay Vess, a young scoundrel looking to carve out a place for herself in the galaxy’s criminal underworld. Ubisoft showcased a cinematic trailer along with in-engine gameplay footage during their Ubisoft Forward event, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse at space dogfights, high-speed speeder chases, and stealthy heists deep within Hutt-controlled territories.

What sets *Outlaws* apart is its focus on player choice and freedom. According to Ubisoft, players will be able to traverse both bustling cities and remote outer rim worlds, take on missions from various factions, and build reputations that impact how different groups interact with them. The game’s narrative will be shaped by these choices, allowing multiple paths and outcomes as players chart their own course through the seedy corners of the galaxy.

Massive Entertainment has confirmed that *Outlaws* will leverage their proprietary Snowdrop engine, promising cinematic visuals and a seamless open-world experience both on land and in space. While specific platform details remain under wraps, the game is expected to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Lucasfilm Games has been ramping up collaborations over the past few years, moving beyond EA’s exclusive publishing deal and partnering with multiple studios. With *Outlaws*, this marks the first large-scale open-world Star Wars game — a long-time request from fans finally coming to fruition.

*Star Wars Outlaws* is shaping up to be a bold new chapter in Star Wars gaming. If Massive can deliver on its ambitious vision, 2024 could become a landmark year for both Ubisoft and Star Wars fans eager to walk the line between smuggler and hero.
