Ubisoft has said it’s “fully mobilised to swiftly implement a series of updates to polish and improve” Star Wars Outlaws after it admitted the game had a “softer than expected launch”. While it pointed out that the release had received “solid ratings”, it said that it wants to position the release as a “strong long-term performer”, which will require a series of critical improvements and updates.
In fact, the title’s launch appears to have spooked the French publisher, prompting it to delay Assassin’s Creed Shadows until 14th February. “While the game is feature complete,” it said of its upcoming Japanese open world outing, “the learnings from the Star Wars Outlaws release led us to provide additional time to further polish the title.”
