Ubisoft has announced that the story trailer for Star Wars Outlaws will be released on April 9, making it a date that fans looking forward to the title should mark in their calendars. After its announcement in June 2023, solid news on Star Wars Outlaws has been difficult to come by, but it seems as though Ubisoft may be gearing up to reveal more about the upcoming game.
Star Wars Outlaws has generated a ton of hype since its initial announcement. The promise of a triple-A Star Wars game bringing players back to the gritty underworld is something that will excite many fans of the franchise. Plenty of recent Star Wars stories have kept the Jedi and lightsabers at the forefront, and this should come as a welcome change of pace in this regard. Neither Ubisoft nor Massive Entertainment have yet to reveal a release date for the game, although there have been plenty of rumors. There was even a suggestion that Star Wars Outlaws could launch as soon as May.
Ubisoft revealed that on April 9 at 9 AM PST, the Star Wars Outlaws story trailer will be released, giving players a hint of what they can expect from the adventures of scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix. The game already stands as one of the most anticipated games of 2024, and the release of this trailer could see that hype reach critical mass. It will be the first extended look at Star Wars Outlaws since its June 2023 announcement, so hopefully, it shows players everything they could want to see ahead of its launch.
A New Star Wars Outlaws Story Trailer is Coming on April 9
Beyond the announcement of the trailer date, Ubisoft was shy of any further details. It remains to be seen if it will finally announce a release date for Star Wars Outlaws, or if it keeps gamers in anticipation a little longer yet. With Ubisoft Forward coming in June, it's certainly possible that some details will be kept under wraps to be shown at that event, although this is purely speculation. Outlaws has the potential to be one of the best Star Wars games, so any fans of the franchise should definitely be excited about April 9.
With EA's exclusivity deal to create Star Wars games now expired, it's great to see other studios put their own unique spin on the formula. Many felt that the EA Star Wars partnership was not quite as productive as it could have been, and it's a license that deserves a wide variety of voices to tell its galaxy-wide stories. Recently, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake was confirmed as still being in development, providing some amazing news for those nostalgic for the original game. With so many strong projects in the works, it's a great time to be a Star Wars fan.
