Ubisoft’s Star Wars game sets course for a galactic adventure in 2024, according to reports

by ubisoft Star Wars The title may not be set in a galaxy far, far away. In fact, it could be traveling around the Milky Way as we speak.

In other words, the game isn’t too far from launch, according to sources who spoke to Kotaku.

Ubisoft signaled in its latest presentation to investors that its 2023-24 lineup would include new releases on major brands and long-running live games (slide 14).

These include Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Rainbow Six Mobile, Skull and Bones, The Crew Motorfest, The Division Resurgence, XDefiant, and “another great game.”

According to Kotaku sources, the Star Wars title is the “big game” Ubisoft is talking about.

Announced in 2021, Project Helix, as it’s known, is an open world title in development with The Division maker Ubisoft Massive. According to Kotaku’s sources, the game hasn’t “progressed well,” and despite the company’s ambition to release the Star Wars game during the current fiscal year, it most likely won’t happen.

This means the game will likely release during the company’s next fiscal year, starting in April 2024 and ending in March 2025. That would still put it in a 2024 release window, if it doesn’t go from Christmas to March 2025. You just never know.

Last year, Ubisoft was looking for people located in Malmo, Sweden, or those living nearby, to test drive the Star Wars title. Other than that, and the initial announcement, no further information on the title has been provided.

That may change next month when the company hosts one of its Ubisoft Forward streams on June 12. More information about the showcase is expected before the event.
