Star Wars Outlaws: Did the release date get leaked accidently?

Ubisoft accidentally let the cat out of the bag regarding the release date for Star Wars Outlaws just hours before their scheduled grand reveal with the story trailer. The anticipation for Ubisoft's open-world journey through the Star Wars universe has been palpable, and this premature slip-up is sure to stir even more excitement among fans.

Ubisoft faces a daunting challenge as they prepare to release Star Wars Outlaws in multiple languages worldwide. This means juggling the same story trailer across various YouTube channels with different audio tracks, significantly raising the risk of a slip-up.

As Gematsu keenly observed, Ubisoft Japan's YouTube page unintentionally spilled the beans by posting the video as a premiere without updating the accompanying details, including the highly anticipated release date.

Even though the video has been taken down, eagle-eyed fans managed to capture screenshots, unveiling that Star Wars Outlaws is set to launch on Friday, August 30. Additionally, the Ultimate Edition of the game will grant players three days of early access.

Furthermore, unintentional leaks also shed light on the Ultimate Edition's additional perks, including a Season Pass that promises extra content and updates alongside the base game.

While the release date for Star Wars Outlaws may differ from the accidental reveal on Ubisoft Japan's YouTube channel, it's hard to ignore the possibility. For now, fans eagerly anticipate the story trailer dropping on April 9 too.

Additionally, mark your calendars for the Ubisoft Forward event on June 10 in Los Angeles, where more details on Star Wars Outlaws and other Ubisoft titles will be unveiled. Keep an eye out as well for potential reveals during the Summer Games Fest on June 7.
