An eShop listing has confirmed a Nintendo Switch 2 release for Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster, with the new version scheduled to arrive on July 16, 2026.
The remaster previously appeared on the original Nintendo Switch and is based on the 1997 western first‑person shooter Outlaws, which was developed and published by LucasArts.
The eShop entry lists technical improvements specific to Nintendo Switch 2 hardware: support for up to 120 frames per second and native 4K output, along with compatibility for Joy‑Con 2 controllers.
The listing also reiterates features carried over from earlier releases, including high‑resolution, uncompressed cutscenes and updated visual assets recreated from archived art.
In journalistic terms, the publisher’s product description frames the remaster as a faithful update of the 1997 western FPS.
It presents the player as James Anderson, an ex‑marshal back in the Wild West, pursuing a plot of greed and corruption while wielding period weapons such as a six‑shooter .45 revolver, a scoped .44 rifle, a 10‑gauge shotgun, and a sawed‑off 12‑gauge.
The remaster restores and modernizes the title’s visuals and cinematic elements to match the original color palettes.
The eShop listing and current product materials list cross‑play multiplayer functionality with standard arena modes: Deathmatch, Team Play, Capture the Flag, and a novelty mode named Kill The Fool With The Chicken.
Modern controller enhancements are also noted, including a weapon wheel interface, rumble feedback, and optional motion/gyro aiming.
The remaster includes a Vault section containing behind‑the‑scenes materials and other archival content.
Outlaws has historical significance as a late‑1990s effort from LucasArts to blend cinematic storytelling with genre‑typical shooter mechanics; the remaster aims to preserve that legacy while bringing visual fidelity and platform‑specific performance to modern hardware.
With the July 16, 2026 eShop listing now public, Nintendo Switch 2 owners can expect a version optimized for higher frame rates and resolution when it launches.
For readers seeking more, the remaster has been shown in trailers and prior coverage on multiple platforms; interested players should monitor the Nintendo eShop for preorders and final file‑size and feature confirmations ahead of the July release.
