Kotaku : Ubisoft's open-world adventure set in that galaxy far, far away is something fans have always wanted.
As a big Star Wars fan and video game lover, I’ve long dreamed of a game just like Star Wars Outlaws: a massive open-world action game set in the Star Wars universe that would let me rub shoulders with Jabba the Hutt while freely exploring every inch of a planet like Tatooine. It’s wild that it took this long to finally get a true open-world Star Wars game. And while it has some frustrating flaws, the experience Outlaws offers is worth it.
Star Wars Outlaws demo now live on Steam! Play free as Kay Vess, explore the Outer Rim, test combat, and go full outlaw—no credits required.
The new Star Wars Outlaws DLC “A Pirate’s Fortune” drops Spring 2025 with Hondo Ohnaka, new story content, and more underworld mayhem.
Stuff that should have been in the base game. Probably would have had better sales, too.
Don't think even that would have helped this borefest of the least Star Wars experience in history of gaming.
Nah. The Outlaws base game isn't starved of content. Its more the lacking quality-of-life features at launch and a design template that's fundamentally confused.
The first thing we see Hondo Ohnaka in for a while since Rebels / The Clone Wars and it's for this...
He's such a great character, I thought he'd have been included in something better. Hopefully we see him in Ahsoka Season 2 or the Mandalorian and Grogu film.
Star Wars Outlaws wins big at 2025 G.A.N.G. Awards, sweeping 5 top music categories, including Best Main Theme and Music of the Year.
Kotaku is still around?
The gameplay is OK. The jumping is meh. The combat so far is a little bland...but the world is absolutely wonderful to see. I'm only on The 2nd planet. Glad I got it with ubi+. Will get on sale at some point.
Bukaku gave this game a positive review. Why am I not shocked?
