Star Wars Outlaws has received an age classification from the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The timing of its ESRB rating's emergence is an encouraging sign for fans, as it indicates that Star Wars Outlaws is on course to release without any delays.
Ubisoft historically secures ESRB age ratings for its games two to four months ahead of their eventual market release. That is what happened with Assassin's Creed Mirage, Valhalla, The Division 2, and plenty other games from the company over the years.
Star Wars Outlaws has now also also been classified by the North American self-regulatory organization. It has received a «Teen» rating in mid-April, which appears to be dovetail with the game footage that Ubisoft has shown so far. Between the publisher's track record and the emergence of the rating itself, this turn of events is another encouraging sign suggesting that Star Wars Outlaws is on course to hit its release date, August 30, without any delays.
As per usual, the ESRB provided a summary of the newly published rating, which goes into a bit more details regarding the actual contents of the upcoming open-world game. One particularly interesting tidbit concerns its quest design: while it has long been known that Star Wars Outlaws will feature stealth elements, its ESRB classification claims that «most» of the game's missions will focus on sneaking instead of fighting. It also indicates that all stealth takedowns performed by Kay Vess will be of the non-lethal variety.
When it comes to actual combat, the game will apparently be free of blood depictions, which are not mentioned in the rating's sumary. What the classification does mention is that players will be able to play Sabacc, an iconic blackjack-like card game that has long been part of the franchise. Star Wars Outlaws teased its Gwent equivalent as early as June 2023, with a cinematic trailer that showed Kay playing Sabacc.
Aside from gambling on card games, Star Wars Outlaws will also allow players to place bets on «fantasy races,» as per its newly published rating. However, this may not be a full-fledged gameplay mechanic, with the classification specifically labeling it as a way to advance «a plot point,» singular. With Star Wars Outlaws being scheduled to hit the market at the end of summer, the game will plausibly go gold around mid-August. Most Ubisoft studios have historically been happy to confirm their projects going gold, so Massive Entertainment seems likely to continue that trend.
Massive Entertainment's Star Wars Outlaws is an in-development game that will be published by Ubisoft. The sci-fi franchise's first full open-world project, Outlaws follows Kay Vess and is set during the Imperial Era. Announced for PC and

Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment are promising an expansive open world experience with the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws, which is being billed as the ultimate scoundrel fantasy, and though that will involve a lot of juggling of different criminal syndicates and maintaining your reputation with each different faction, that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find the time to sit down and, say, play some cards.
The classic card game Sabacc will finally be playable in Star Wars Outlaws, as revealed by the game’s ESRB rating. Ubisoft and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora developer Massive Entertainment announced that they were working on an open-world Star Wars game back in 2021, but it wasn’t until last June’s Xbox Games showcase that fans learned what it was going to be about. Star Wars Outlaws will put players in the role of Kay Vess, an aspiring outlaw looking to make her mark on the criminal underworld by pulling a massive heist against the rising Zerek Besh organization.
Ubisoft has commented on the controversy surrounding Star Wars Outlaws after it was revealed that one of its missions will be behind a paywall from day one. Ubisoft argues that the mission in question, Jabba's Gambit, is "optional", defending the decision to lock it to a season pass.
Ubisoft's upcoming Star Wars Outlaws will lock an exclusive mission featuring Jabba the Hutt behind the Season Pass. While Star Wars fans were excited about the concept of an open world title set in A Galaxy Far Far Away, the latest information revealed for Outlaws has been controversial. Star Wars Outlaws takes place before Return of the Jedi, and places its players in the role of Kay Vess, an ambitious scoundrel and thief from Cantonica. However, despite being an entirely single-player experience, Ubisoft has designed Star Wars Outlaws as an always-online title, with a Season Pass that will offer players access to exclusive content.
Fans are excited to jump into this next major video game release for the Star Wars franchise. We know Star Wars Outlaws is coming this summer, and if you’re contemplating whether you should pick up a preorder, there might be one mission to convince you. That’s to at least convince you to spend more money and acquire one of the higher-tier editions of the game before its release. Unfortunately, there is already one mission locked behind a season pass, and it’s set to debut at launch.
Content surrounding one of ' most iconic villains may be locked behind a paywall. The open-world game from Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment is set to see a new character, Kay Vess, explore the criminal underworld as she attempts to build her reputation and carry out the biggest heist the Outer Rim has ever seen.
With Star Wars Outlaws, developer Massive Entertainment is looking to deliver the ultimate Star Wars scoundrel fantasy, which, of course, means protagonist Kay Vess (and her adorable companion Nix) will be crossing paths with a number of different factions, the majority of them being criminal syndicates.
From the Hutts and the Pykes to the Crimson Dawn, the Empire, and more, Star Wars Outlaws protagonist Kay Vess will be dealing with a number of different factions during the course of the game’s story, each one of them powerful and formidable in their own unique way, with a Reputation system encompassing her interactions with each of them. As Kay, your actions will impact your experience in a number of ways– including even the open world and what challenges and content it will throw your way.
continues a controversial trend that has become more prominent in recent years. Ubisoft recently revealed more about the upcoming AAA title's story, pre-order bonuses, and special editions, with a confirmed release date of August 30, 2024.
Open world games are often in the habit of being larger than they need to be, particularly when they’re coming from Ubisoft, but developer Massive Entertainment continues to make assurances that it’s taking a different approach with the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws. The action-adventure title will see players exploring the Outer Rim, which, as you might imagine, will mean visiting a number of different planets and locations. Obviously, not all has been revealed on that front, but details have emerged on one particular location in a recently published Game Informer preview, and how its design prioritized density over size.
