Star Wars loves a good cross-media rollout, but this one’s especially slick: Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon is landing next month, and the audiobook version is going all-in with full audio production and narrators straight from the game.
If you’ve been enjoying Outlaws for its scoundrel energy and grounded “underworld Star Wars” tone, this book looks like the next stop on that same hyperspace lane.
Why this matters now
Star Wars publishing can sometimes feel like a separate galaxy from the games — but Outlaws is clearly being treated like something bigger than just a one-off release.
A new novel arriving this soon after the game’s momentum means Lucasfilm is actively building Outlaws into a story ecosystem, not just a Ubisoft experiment.
And the audiobook casting is a massive tell.
What’s been revealed (the facts)
Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon is releasing next month.
Even more interesting: the audiobook will be narrated by:
- Jay Rincon — the voice of ND-5
- Eric Johnson — the voice of Jaylen Vrax
…and it’s being released with full audio production, meaning this isn’t a basic single-narrator reading. It’s designed to feel closer to a cinematic Star Wars audio experience.
That’s an unusually high-effort push — and it signals real confidence in the Outlaws branding.
The audiobook angle is the real headline here
Let’s be honest: Star Wars audiobooks have always been strong.
But when a Star Wars audiobook specifically features voice talent tied directly to a game’s characters, it changes the feel completely. It’s not just “expanded lore.” It’s continuation.
That matters because Outlaws has a very specific vibe:
- criminal syndicates and street-level tension
- sharp character dynamics
- scenes that rely on tone and atmosphere
Audiobooks are perfect for that — especially when the voices already are the characters.
Why Star Wars gamers should care
Not every Star Wars game gets this kind of publishing support.
A novel release tied to Outlaws is Lucasfilm basically saying: “Yes, this is canon, and yes, this corner of the galaxy matters.”
If you’re the type who wants more story after the credits roll — more worldbuilding, more underworld politics, more morally-grey Star Wars — this is exactly the right kind of follow-up.
Also: ND-5 fans? You’re eating well.

What Comes Next
Outlaws is quickly becoming Star Wars’ “scoundrel lane” for this era — the part of the franchise that isn’t about Jedi temples or galaxy-ending superweapons, but the people surviving in the shadows of all that history.
A full production audiobook narrated by Outlaws voice actors is the kind of move you make when you want the franchise to feel connected.
Not just in lore.
In voice.
