Update: A new trailer has confirmed the Star Wars Outlaws release date! You can read all about it here.

Original story: The Star Wars Outlaws release date has leaked ahead of an official story trailer reveal. 

Initially revealed last year, Ubisoft bills this one as the "first ever open-world Star Wars game," which is an exciting pitch by itself. Set between Star Wars flicks The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, you play as Kay Vess as you explore the Outer Rim and clash with organized crime. Every scoundrel needs a crew, though, and you got a good one in adorable sidekick Nix and a robot that's already proved a hit among down-bad fans, to put that mildly. There are plenty more details to come, though it looks like we're getting a gambling mini-game to spend our credits on, as per a high age rating in Korea.

Check out our Star Wars Outlaws trailer countdown explainer to see when the story teaser releases, right down to the second.
