Comment on Ubisoft Has Reportedly Scrapped A Sequel To Star Wars Outlaws
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 day agoI don’t think people yelling about “woke” is sinking any game, or else Kingdom Come: Deliverance II would have bombed.
typical Ubisoft formulatic exploration/stealth game, very much like Assassin’s Creed
didn’t really break any new ground
had a digital deluxe edition with a bunch of DLC [featuring one of the biggest characters from the movies]
I think the above, plus an expensive development budget, is all you needed to make this game unsuccessful.

I’m curious what it really was. They got a lot of shit for having a single mission with Jabba locked behind DLC (there were many, many other missions with Jabba that weren’t locked behind DLC), but I feel that was no different than many other games that add DLC – any game set in this time period would likely have missions with characters that were from the original trilogy, for Ubisoft to ensure that none of those missions were DLC missions doesn’t necessarily seem like it’s reasonable if they want the DLC to be of any value.
In any case, having beat it and the DLC, I would totally recommend that people who like that kind of gameplay loop grab it if it’s on sale, it was a lot of fun.
