Notorious Gambler Lando Calrissian Playing for Keeps in Star Wars Outlaws DLC

"The most civilized game in the galaxy"

by Khayl Adam 8am

While the future of the Guillemot family business remains unclear, those who picked up Star Wars Outlaws have earned a glimmer of hope. While sales were soft, Ubisoft pledged it's "fully mobilised to swiftly implement a series of updates to polish and improve" the game. The first piece of post-story DLC has been dated, with players getting better acquainted with that old rogue, Lando Calrissian, on 21st November.

This outing, called Wild Card, will see protagonist Kay Vess infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament (thanks, Eurogamer). Ubisoft teases that Vess will "cross paths with the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian. She soon learns that another game is being played."

Wild Card arrives alongside cosmetic bundles Hunter's Legacy and Cartel Ronin, all of which are part of the game's Season Pass. In addition, a free update adding new Contracts for all players will drop the same day.

Did you pick up Star Wars Outlaws? We hear it's a pretty solid game, provided you put in a couple of hours. Risk it all on a single hand in the comments section below.

Do we want a game called SW Outlaws to be the most civilised game in the galaxy?
It's so toothless lol. Has no edges. Unfinished, badly written generic hoshposh.
My grandma could design a game with more grit than Ubisoft

It's an Assassin's Creed clone stripped down to it's most basic gameplay.
It looks bland, it has no edge. It's an outlaw game where you can barely commit crimes and be a real outlaw.
It's "Greedo shot first" turned into a game.

I am really enjoying this game but I wont be purchasing any DLC, the game is big enough as it is and was full price. I want to get onto Warhammer so unless it becomes free (which it won't) I will miss this and the Jaba missions which is a shame.

@yazzika absolutely brilliant, haters gotta hate!!!!

I'm playing this at the moment. It's at its best when it's allowed be an action game. The stealth sections really do suck the life out of the game. I'll finish it but I will not be buying any DLC.

Now if Lando or Han had been the protagonist I might have considered this. The character they went with never felt 'outlaw' to me from what I saw, would love to have played a real charming scoundrel, maybe even a cantina scum alien. Maybe I'm being a bit sexist deep down, but the character felt like a flat gen-z type 'outlaw' with well written motivation but all the edges sanded off. Just felt meh. But then bland video game leads are nothing new.

I'm still waiting. I like the atmosphere enough. Just more like $30 enough. Seems it still needs a whole lot of work.

@Mostik @EchoRange Only toxic positivity is allowed, right?
Look what it did to Concord. Definitely a recipe for success.

@yazzika Good joke, but unfortunately it's just a coincidence of fate. I didn't even notice when I posted my comment.
Maybe I should change my avatar though

@Pat_trick Not at all mate, all opinions are valid hence I never block anybody, as you acknowledge it did look very coincidental.
The game certainly has it's flaws but IMO your comments are harsh, practically every job you do is theft or hacking which I think are criminal offences and will put you on the wrong side of the law.
