Star Wars: Outlawsis in development under Massive Entertainment, a subsidiary of Ubisoft most well-known for its work onThe Divisionfranchise, which was similarly an open-world third-person shooter. WhileThe Divisionand its sequel saw a fair amount of popularity,Star Wars: Outlawsis gearing up to be the studio’s most highly-anticipated game to date and is Massive Entertainment’s first foray into the single-player open-world formula.
The game has seen some controversy from fans leading up to its launch due to the alleged reveal that a mission involving fan-favorite character Jabba the Hutt is seemingly locked behind a paywall. Despite the character appearing in the trailer, an exclusive mission involving him is seeminglyonly accessible to owners of theStar Wars: Outlawsseason pass, which is included in the game’s “gold” and “ultimate” editions at an extra cost.
Still, the season pass means that Ubisoft intends toexpand the story ofStar Wars: Outlawspast the base game, so players may get to explore even more planets and regions from theStar Warsuniverse after the game’s launch. Pre-orders forStar Wars: Outlawsare currently available online or from local retailers, and players who pre-order the Ultimate Edition will get access to the game three days in advance.
