If you’re excited for Star Wars Outlaws, you’ll want to pay close attention on April 9th. That’s the day when the game’s developers at Ubisoft are going to release a brand new trailer all about the story of the game.
Star Wars Outlaws was first announced back in June 2023, and fans have been eagerly waiting to learn more about it ever since.
This title is going to be different from a lot of other recent entries, because it’s focused on scruffy-looking smugglers and criminals, rather than Jedi knights and lightsabers.
The main characters you’ll play as are a pair of “outlaws” named Kay Vess and Nix. There’s also legendary characters that will feature throughout such as Jabba The Hutt.
The story trailer coming on April 9th is going to give us our first real look at their adventures in the gritty underworld of the Star Wars galaxy, set between the movies The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Ubisoft hasn’t announced an exact release date for it just yet, but the title is expected to come out sometime before the end of 2024.
April 9th Trailer Release and Fan Expectations
The April 9th trailer could finally reveal when we’ll get to play the full game. Even if a launch date isn’t shown, this trailer will still be an exciting first glimpse at the story and characters.
Star Wars fans have had to wait a while for recent additions set in this beloved sci-fi universe. For a long time, EA had the exclusive rights to make Star Wars games, and some fans felt like they didn’t always do the best job.
But now that the exclusive deal has ended, other game studios like Ubisoft are getting a chance to put their own spin on them.
The latest instalment of the recently released Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection hasn’t exactly gone down too well within the community.
So there are high hopes riding on the next instalment to make up for newly introduced disappointments.
The team making this latest entry in the series, called Massive Entertainment, seems really passionate about crafting an immersive open-world adventure in this galaxy far, far away.
When it does finally arrive, it’ll be heading to PlayStation 5, PC and Xbox Series X | S. Unfortunately it looks like it could be skipping the Steam platform but that can all change down the line in the future.
Hopefully the story trailer on April 9th will show off why this game could be one of the most exciting new Star Wars experiences in years. Definitely mark that date on your calendar if you can’t wait to play as a scruffy-looking smuggler!
