Star Wars Outlaws coming to Nintendo Switch 2
Earlier this week, Nintendo fans finally received the release date for Nintendo’s new console. Alongside it, a few third-party games were also confirmed to be launching later this year for the Nintendo Switch 2. Star Wars Outlaws is one of the said games.
There are some immediate questions about performance due to how demanding recent games can be, especially when Nintendo has never stood out for incorporating the most powerful hardware in their consoles.
With that said, it’s good news that the most recent Star Wars game will join the roster of Nintendo games. Hopefully, this will not be the last time we see something like this.
Tales of the Underworld is coming in May 4th
Following what is now a tradition, a new Tales series named Tales of the Underworld covers the lives of Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane in a total of six episodes, with three episodes dedicated to each character.
The official Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld trailer reveal was quite the surprise, but a welcomed one. All six episodes of Tales of the Underworld will be available on May 4th, 2025.
Star Wars Celebration maps overview
With Star Wars Celebration being just two weeks away, attendees should start looking into things like entrance procedures, schedules of panels, badge pick-up info, maps of the event, and pretty much everything important info so that their experience goes as smoothly as possible.
All of this info was just released on the Star Wars Celebration site.
No mention of The Mandalorian and Grogu in CinemaCon
CinemaCon took place over this week, with movies like Predator: Badlands, Tron: Ares, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four having a spot during the event. The Mandalorian and Grogu logo appeared in the presentation but there wasn’t even a mention of the movie.
It looks like they are really holding everything for Star Wars Celebration. Which personally I am not totally excited about it because it’s very likely that only attendees are able to watch the trailer, just like it happened in previous years.
