Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, though fans will have to wait a bit longer than expected. Initially anticipated as a launch title for the new Nintendo handheld set to release on June 5, Star Wars: Outlaws will now hit the shelves on September 4. This space adventure, set between the iconic events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal on the run from a cartel's death mark. Our reviewer rated it a 7, describing it as "a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch."

While Ubisoft remained tight-lipped on further details, they did confirm the game's availability on the Nintendo Switch 2 and its release date. This update is a significant addition to the Switch 2 Games List, especially as American and Canadian gamers navigate the uncertainties of pre-order delays due to new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration. Any news on upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games is a welcome relief amidst these challenges.

The announcement came 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. This expansion will see Kay Vess teaming up with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Fans can look forward to Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune on May 15.
