Even though many of the categories seem to be filled with games that fit within their categories, there is one category, which is the most anticipated game, that currently has many gamers perplexed, as one of the games that has been included seems to be a little out of place.

During the Game Awards 2023, there was an announcement regarding the most anticipated game award for next year. Throughout this announcement, a total of 5 different games have been included, and four of these games seem to be quite natural choices, but one seems to be slightly out of place.

At the moment, the five games that have been nominated are Tekken 8, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Hades 2, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and finally Star Wars Outlaws. On the surface, these nominations seem rather reasonable, as they, in theory, should all be released within the next year and have quite a large following from their respective fan bases.

However, the one game that stands out among these nominations for the Game Awards 2023 is Star Wars Outlaws. The reasoning behind this confusion is that Star Wars Outlaws is still in production and currently has no release date.

This has led many gamers to wonder whether or not this confirms a potential 2024 release date, but for now there is no information confirming that this will be the official release date, as production can always be delayed with circumstances causing the game to be delayed into the next year.

Why Is Star Wars Outlaws Nominated as One of the Most Anticipated Games Within the Game Awards 2023?

Gamers are confused as Star Wars Outlaws is nominated as one of the most anticipated games during the Game Awards 2023.

As always, these nominations are not a confirmation that these games will be released within 2024. As said above, sometimes games may receive delays, which could cause a potential 2025 release date.

At the moment, Star Wars Outlaw is heading towards a 2024 release date, and if this aim is met, it could lead to one of the most anticipated games of 2024. The reasoning behind this is down to the fact that mostly it is a Star Wars game and shares similar exploration aspects to games like No Man’s Sky and Starfield.

If Star Wars Outlaws continues to develop in the direction that it has, it will most likely become a rather interesting game that could even please gamers who aren’t Star Wars fans. This is due to the fact that Star Wars Outlaws is more focused on the smugglers and bounty hunters of the universe and their illegal activities.

With what seems to be an interesting storyline and Division-like combat, there could be a potentially fantastic game awaiting fans of the franchise. However, many are wondering whether or not Star Wars Outlaws fits in with the Game Awards 2023’s most anticipated games, as there are some major contenders within this category.

Depending on how the development progresses in each of these games and their release dates, there could be a lot of hype regarding all of these games and whether or not they receive the reactions that fans have been hoping for, which could impact the game awards next year.
