Ubisoft has released a major update to open-world game “Star Wars Outlaws” that adjusts the widespread issues players had with the game’s stealth mechanics. The game publisher also unveiled the title’s first downloadable content expansion, “Wild Card,” which heavily features “Star Wars” character Lando Calrissian joining “Outlaws” lead Kay Vess for a new adventure.
The main game update comes on the heels of Ubisoft announcing Sept. 25 that its eagerly anticipated next installment in the popular “Assassin’s Creed” franchise, “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” had been delayed to Feb. 14, 2025 from its previously planned Nov. 15 release. Ubisoft said the decision was made based on weak performance for new title “Star Wars Outlaws” and lower than expected profit in the current quarter.
Per Ubisoft, improvements included in the new “Star Wars Outlaws” game update include:
- Notable updates to stealth and combat that allow players greater choice in how they approach each quest including using stealth or reaching for their blaster, even in syndicate territories in cities.
- Enemy AI and detection improvements, with players being notified when they’re being detected and can choose to escalate or change tactics to remain in stealth. Enemies will also now be more tactical as they use cover and seek better combat lines.
- Enemy weak points have been added to reward strategic gameplay, which if targeted can trigger explosions or defeat enemies in spectacular new ways.
- Re-tuned Kay’s blaster and pickup weapons to improve the combat experience, including being able to carry two handed weapons in more situations including using ladders or grapple points.
- Animations in dialogue scenes, the option to toggle off the cinematic lens, the visibility of distant lights and much more have been added to improve the experience across the galaxy.
