Star Wars Outlaws Faces Criticism for Gameplay, But Ubisoft Remains Steadfast on Release Date
Despite backlash over a recent gameplay reveal, Star Wars Outlaws is still on track for its August 30th release date.
The upcoming open-world Star Wars title has been met with mixed reactions following the release of a 10-minute gameplay video by IGN. While some fans on platforms like Reddit praised the game's mechanics and visuals, others on YouTube expressed disappointment, criticizing the graphics, AI behavior, and what they perceived as uninspired quest design.
Negative comments highlighted a disconnect between the game's ambitious premise and its execution. One user commented, "How did they make a cool concept for a quest exploring a dead Sarlacc look like you're just wandering around a generic cave doing a glorified fetch quest?"
These concerns even reached the ears of financial analysts, with one from Bank of America inquiring about a potential delay to address the feedback. However, Ubisoft has firmly stated that they have no intention of pushing back the release date. They did, however, assure fans that more gameplay footage would be released soon.
This unwavering stance on the release date suggests Ubisoft is confident in the game's current state and believes further gameplay reveals will sway public opinion. Whether the final product can live up to the hype and silence the critics remains to be seen.
