Revolution at Ubisoft! Star Wars Outlaws drops one of the most hated elements of the company's games
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The latest game in the Star Wars universe will be stripped of a signature Ubisoft gameplay element present in the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed series.
These games are known for requiring players to climb to a high vantage point to reveal new areas on the map. Star Wars Outlaws will abandon this approach.
Game Informer journalist Brian Shea asked the game's creative director and received an answer:
“As for Star Wars Outlaws, I directly asked the creative director if there are towers in the open world you can climb to unlock the map. He said no.”
While this change can hardly be called revolutionary, for Ubisoft games with massive worlds, it is genuine progress. Brian Shea said the map will clear as players explore unfamiliar regions. Climbing viewpoints has been criticized for years for its repetitiveness. It is reassuring that Ubisoft has finally listened to gamers' feedback and will change its approach.
Star Wars Outlaws will be released on August 30, 2024, on PC, PS5, and XSX|S.
