Major Updates Coming to Star Wars Outlaws
The team has been listening to their feedback about Star Wars Outlaws and has set out to tackle the issues players have had since the game’s release. In the latest TU1.4 update, many areas were tackled for improvement. This led to a wide range of things being updated with the launch of Wildcard:
- 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.
More about Star Wars Outlaws
Taking place between Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Outlaws follows Kay Vess and her companion Nix as they search for the opportunity of a lifetime. During this era, the Empire’s rule is distracted by the rebellion that won’t quit, leading to a golden age for the underworld. As a skilled thief, Kay’s antics catch the attention of Sliro, the leader of a new, foreboding criminal syndicate Zerek Besh.
After Sliro places a bounty on Kay’s head, Kay and Nix are offered their one shot at freedom – pull off one of the greatest heists of all time. Kay and Nix will need to navigate the underworld across the galaxy, building their reputation with legendary criminal organizations including the Pyke Syndicate, the Hutt Cartel, the Ashiga Clan and Crimson Dawn as they grow from street thieves to skilled outlaws.
Our critic pointed out, “Even with the hiccups, Star Wars: Outlaws is a fantastic story that effectively uses the heist genre and never keeps its characters in focus.” But it wasn’t without its issues, with our critic saying, “The side quests are vital to learning more about the world and the characters we have met.” With the latest Wildcard story pack and the emergence of the TU1.4 update, it’s a step in the right direction.
The universe of Star Wars is vast and unexplored, giving plenty of opportunity to add more content and story to Star Wars Outlaws. With the latest Wildcard story pack and the emergence of the TU1.4 update, it’s a step in the right direction.
Star Wars Outlaws: Wildcard is available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC now.
