Regardless of receiving usually constructive evaluations, Star Wars Outlaws wasn’t a industrial hit for Ubisoft, and the corporate blames the “uneven waters” across the Star Wars IP on the time for the sport’s disappointing efficiency. Talking to shareholders throughout a Q&A session of its 2025 normal assembly, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot referenced the Star Wars model and the way latest tasks had tarnished it.
“Outlaws was launched at a time when the model that it belonged to was in a little bit of uneven waters,” Guillemot mentioned (through IGN). Main as much as the discharge of Star Wars Outlaws, the IP had skilled turbulence with the poorly obtained Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker film, the polarizing TV collection The Acolyte, and the blended reception to The E book of Boba Fett.
It is value noting that Outlaws was additionally criticized on the time, as the mix of a badly paced intro mission, numerous technical points, and several other bugs did not sit too effectively with gamers. Most of those points have been addressed because the sport launched final yr, and the story of protagonist Kay Vess has continued with two DLC expansions, Wild Card and A Pirate’s Fortune.
Whereas it is unclear if Ubisoft will ever enterprise again into the Star Wars galaxy–especially now that it has a brand new division centered on its tentpole IP and led by Guillemot’s personal son, Charlie Guillemot–there are a number of Star Wars video games in growth at different studios.
Saber Interactive says that the Knights of the Previous Republic remake is not lifeless, Skydance New Media is working by itself untitled Star Wars challenge, and turn-based ways followers can sit up for Star Wars: Zero Firm.
