The release of the forthcoming Star Wars Outlaws could potentially be postponed to the next fiscal year. This information is gleaned from a recent financial report by Ubisoft, which mentions a ‘large game’ which will have its release delayed.
The overperformance in Q2 and the current positive momentum of Ubisoft’s brands build confidence for the rest of the year. The Company can therefore confirm its announced guidance of strong top line growth and non-IFRS operating income of approximately €400 million, without releasing the other large game it had initially planned to launch during the last quarter of the current fiscal year.

The Company has decided to launch this other large game in FY2024-25, so as to maximize its value creation.
Without explicitly identifying the title to which the developer and publisher are alluding, it becomes challenging to pinpoint the exact details. Speculation in circulation suggests it might pertain to the upcoming Star Wars game, but it’s important to note that as of the current writing, this remains unconfirmed.
A tweet from Kotaku’s senior reporter, Ethan Gach, suggests that the “large game” referenced in the report may indeed be Outlaws. If this information holds true, it implies the possibility of its release occurring sometime after April 2024.
