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.
As is the case with most of Ubisoft’s open-world offerings, there will be a lot for players to do in Star Wars Outlaws. Kay’s mission will take her to a handful of classic Star Wars planets, each one filled with different environments and side tasks she can perform at the behest of nefarious criminals like Jabba the Hutt and the Crimson Dawn. Kay can choose to ally herself with these dangerous organizations while staying one step ahead of the Galatic Empire, and she can travel from one world to another aboard her ship “The Trailblazer.”
Fans might also be able to engage in a classic criminal pastime in Star Wars Outlaws, at least according to the recently released ESRB rating summary. The brief description of the game’s content mentions “Simulated Gambling” as a reason for its Teen rating, and the included summary paragraph says that players will be able to wager in-game currency on Sabacc — a blackjack-like card game with detailed rules and deep ties to the larger Star Wars lore.
Sabacc was first introduced in the Star Wars Legends novel Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu back in 1983, and it has gone on to become a major staple among the Star Wars criminal element in the four decades since. As die-hard Star Wars fans know, Han Solo famously won his trusty spaceship the Millenium Falcon from Lando in a game of Sabacc, an event that would later be shown in the 2017 film Solo: A Star Wars Story. While the 1989 Star Wars tabletop game fleshed out Sabacc’s ruleset and real-life decks are sold at Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge attraction, no video game has ever adapted it.
Before Star Wars Outlaws, the closest fans got to playing Sabacc in a Star Wars video game was the similar card game Pazzak in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This will finally change in Star Wars Outlaws, which will allow players to engage in “Simulated Gambling” by wagering in-game currency on rounds of the classic card game. While Kay Vess might not be able to win a legendary spaceship like Han did, it will be interesting to see how Sabacc is played when the game launches on August 30.
