Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, although it won't be available at the console's launch on June 5. Instead, fans can look forward to the space adventure on September 4. This title, set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal marked for death by a cartel. Our review awarded it a 7, praising its fun intergalactic heist elements and great exploration, but noted drawbacks such as simplistic stealth, repetitive combat, and some launch bugs.

While Ubisoft was light on new details, they confirmed the game's availability on the Nintendo Switch 2 and its release date. This update is timely as American and Canadian gamers await further news amidst pre-order uncertainties due to new tariffs from the Republican administration. Any information on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games provides a welcome distraction.

The announcement was made during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled A Pirate’s Fortune. In this add-on, Kay Vess will ally with Hondo Ohnaka to challenge Stinger Tash, leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is set to launch on May 15, adding more excitement to the Star Wars gaming lineup.
