While Star Wars Outlaws was expected to launch in early 2024 at one point, the game was delayed to later in the year. However, the game may still arrive well before the holiday season, with recent developments indicating a release date announcement is coming soon.
Star Wars Outlaws has now been rated in both South Korea and Australia, brandishing a ‘Mature' rating from Australia's classification board. As Insider Gaming points out, this would be roughly equivalent to a ‘Teen' rating from the ESRB.
Typically, ratings like this pop up a few months ahead of a game's release. It has previously been claimed that despite delays, the game is being planned for the first half of this year. These recent ratings support that idea.
If true, then Ubisoft will be revealing more of the game and starting its marketing push quite soon, ahead of a potential June release. With that said, Ubisoft has never been shy about delaying projects, to the point where announced release dates often can't be trusted, so we'll have to wait and see how it goes. On the positive side, we have not heard anything about development troubles with this project, so it could be progressing well and ahead of schedule.

KitGuru Says: May the 4th is coming up and typically, Disney likes to use this date to make announcements for Star Wars projects across all forms of media, from film and TV to comics, books and games. With that in mind, it seems highly likely that we'll get release date news around that time.
