Original story:TheStar Wars Outlawsrelease date has leaked ahead of an official story trailer reveal.
As Gematsunotes,UbisoftJapan’sYouTubeplaceholder for the upcoming story trailer revealed that the open-world game will release on August 30, just over four months from now. The YouTube description also revealed that those who buy Star Wars Galaxy’s Gold or Ultimate editions get three days of early access alongside a Season Pass and the usual sort of digital goodies you’ve come to expect.
At the time of writing, the YouTube description has been tweaked to remove mention of the release date and special edition perks. Regardless, the Star Wars Outlaws trailer will go live at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST later today, just hours from now. As to what will actually be revealed, we need only wait and see.
Initially revealed last year, Ubisoft bills this one as the “first ever open-world Star Wars game,” which is an exciting pitch by itself. Set between Star Wars flicks The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, you play as Kay Vess as you explore the Outer Rim and clash with organized crime. Every scoundrel needs a crew, though, and you got a good one in adorable sidekick Nix and a robot that’salready proved a hit among down-bad fans, to put that mildly. There are plenty more details to come, though it looks like we’re getting agambling mini-gameto spend our credits on, as per a high age rating in Korea.
