Star Wars Outlaws: Ubisoft’s Latest Gamble – Release Date Revealed, Skepticism Warranted

Ubisoft has finally revealed the upcoming open-world Star Wars action adventure Star Wars Outlaws. The game will be released on August 30th, 2024, and pre-orders offer enticing incentives and expanded content. However, a healthy dose of skepticism is justified, considering Ubisoft’s track record and the hefty price tag attached to premium editions. Along this great news there is a new Story Trailer released

Fans eager to step into the boots of a spacefaring outlaw won’t have to wait long. Star Wars Outlaws releases this August, but those willing to pony up for the Gold or Ultimate Editions can jump in three days early. These deluxe versions also include the base game and a season pass, promising additional content post-launch. But would fans will be willing to give 110$ respectively 130$ for these?

Cause for Concern?

While the Star Wars universe holds undeniable appeal, Ubisoft‘s recent offerings leave room for hesitation. Several recent AAA titles like “AAAA” Skuls and Bones from the publisher have fallen short of expectations, marred by bugs, lackluster gameplay, and aggressive monetization. Additionally, the price point for deluxe editions of Star Wars Outlaws, exceeding $100, raises further questions about value for money.

Proceed with Caution

The promise of exploring the Star Wars galaxy as a charismatic outlaw undoubtedly sparks excitement. Still, Ubisoft’s recent history warrants a cautious approach. It’s advisable to hold off on pre-orders until more gameplay footage and reviews are available so that you can make an informed decision.

Star Wars Outlaws: Signs we are closer than we think?

The South Korean Video Games Council rated Star Wars Outlaws as “Not for Teen” because of its mature content. The same happened with the Australian Government Classification for Star War Outlaws, rated as ‘M’ (Mature). This may be because the game contains gambling only, but let’s see.

What may be wrong with it—It would be the first Star Wars game not rated by P, which, on the other hand, may not be wrong.
On the other hand, it’s a good sign that we may all be much closer to release than we thought so far. So, let’s give the galaxy space to make us all happy about this Ubisoft top anticipated project for 2024.
