Before revealing the gameplay trailer at the Ubisoft Forward, the developers teased the reveal of Star Wars Outlaws at Summer Game Fest with an official teaser. While the teaser doesn’t share much information about the game, it provides a glimpse of the iconic scoundrel from the original Star Wars Trilogy, Lando Calrissian.
Ubisoft revealed the official story trailer in April 2024, alongside the announcement of the launch date. Star Wars Outlaws will be out on 30 August 2024, and fans can pre-order the game from Ubisoft’s official website to grab a three-day early access.

Ubisoft Teases The Return Of Lando In Star Wars Outlaws Ahead Of Ubisoft Forward
To add to the hype of Ubisoft Forward, Ubisoft showcased an official gameplay teaser of the Star Wars Outlaws at the Summer Game Fest. The 45-second gameplay teaser doesn’t reveal much except for the glimpse of the iconic scoundrel from the original Star Wars Trilogy, Lando Calrissian. Per the teaser, players can expect themselves to sit with Lando for a game of Sabacc. Since Star Wars Outlaws is set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the presence of Lando plays a crucial role in how the story turns out. Apart from Lando Calrissian’s return, the teaser walks the fans through the gameplay, like the speeder bike chase, fighting with the enemies, and climbing through a desert, Jawas.
Ubisoft will have a more extended showcase of the game at Ubisoft Forward on 10 June 2024. Star Wars Outlaws will feature “one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen”, as the protagonist Kay Vess will take on Sliro, who runs one of the most elite criminal syndicates, Zerek Bash. While Ubisoft revealed the story trailer in April 2024, fans are excited for the publisher to showcase the story trailer at the Ubisoft Forward.
Ubisoft Forward will take place on 10 June 2024 in Los Angeles and will be streamed live on Ubisoft’s official YouTube channel. The pre-show segment of Ubisoft Forward will begin at 7:30 PM BST/11:30 AM PT, followed by the commencement of the conference at 8:00 PM BST/12:00 PM PT. Besides Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft will also showcase exclusive updates of other titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, XDefiant, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and more.
