Ubisoft has confirmed that Star Wars: Outlaws will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, but it won't be a launch title for the new Nintendo handheld set to release on June 5. Instead, fans can expect the space adventure to hit the shelves on September 4. This game, set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, follows the journey of Kay Vess, a small-time criminal who becomes a target of a cartel. 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 hasn't shared much beyond the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, this update is a significant addition to the Switch 2 Games List. Amidst the pre-order uncertainty faced by American and Canadian gamers due to new tariffs introduced by the Republican administration, any news about upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 titles is a welcome relief.

The announcement came during a panel at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, where Ubisoft also unveiled details about the second story pack for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled A Pirate’s Fortune. In this add-on, players will see Kay Vess ally with Hondo Ohnaka to confront Stinger Tash, the leader of the Rokana Raiders. Star Wars: Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune is slated for release on May 15.
