Ubisoft and Microsoft appear to be tag-teaming a legal crackdown on people who try to pass off fake versions of Minecraft and Assassin's Creed official merchandise as the real thing.
Star Wars Outlaws Pre-Orders Are Starting Soon at GameStop

Marketing for Star Wars Outlaws is about to kick off in a big way, with the world premiere story trailer slated to air on Tuesday, April 9 at 9 AM Pacific Time/noon Eastern Time/6 PM Central European Time.
Many fans are taking this as confirmation that the game will launch sooner rather than later. Ubisoft has historically published story trailers relatively close to the release dates, and there's also the fact that multiple countries have already rated the game, including South Korea, Brazil, Australia, and possibly the USA, given the ESRB rating spotted on the Ubisoft Store.

Now, journalist Jordan Maison has shared on Twitter that GameStop is preparing promotional materials for the opening of the Star Wars Outlaws pre-order program.
GameStop and other major retailers (including digital stores) will likely open pre-orders right after the release of the story trailer in two days.
The game, powered by Ubisoft Massive's Snowdrop Engine with NVIDIA DLSS 3 and RTX Direct Illumination/RTGi support on PC, aims to realize the first true single player open world Star Wars experience. The developers want to offer players a completely seamless transition from the cantina on a planet's surface to flying into space with the Trailbrazer, an EML 850 light freighter from the Republic era.
Space is reported to be dangerous yet ripe for opportunities. There will be intimate dogfights as well as big battles against large spaceships, but it's also a vehicle for discovery and exploration. The Star Wars feeling will also be present thanks to distinct planet profiles, each featuring unique stories, wildlife, ecosystems, and situations.
As an outlaw scoundrel, protagonist Kay Vess will encounter various jobs and favors from different characters and factions, which impact her reputation with them and allow her to unlock new equipment and abilities. In Star Wars Outlaws, players will be able to make their own choices, creating their path and reputation at a time when the seedy underworld of the galaxy was thriving. The game also includes a wanted system, where players can get wanted levels by challenging or being caught by the Empire, leading to increased resistance and forces. However, there will always be a way for players to de-escalate or escape.
Star Wars Outlaws will be released for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.

Delisting The Crew Makes Sense, Preventing It From Ever Being Played Again Does Not
2014’s The Crew was the first project for developer Ivory Tower, which was founded in Lyon, France, in 2007 and later acquired by Ubisoft in late 2015. While it may have been the debut game for the studio, a number of Ivory Tower’s staff formerly hailed from Lyon’s Eden Games (including Ivory Tower’s three founders) and had previous experience on the first three instalments of the V-Rally series, the PlayStation version of Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, and the trendsetting Test Drive Unlimited. As such, there was a good deal of optimism around The Crew.

Star Wars Outlaws’ City of Mirogana is “Quite Compact”, Focuses on Density Instead
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.
