FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Star Wars Outlaws ' creative director Julian Gerightyhas said that he is 
disappointed with the game's review scores. 

Ubisoft's open-world Star Wars game officially launched last week on PC and 
console and currently sits at a comfortable score of 76 on Metacritic despite 
its mixed reception across PC, PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X ,and Xbox Series 
S . 

In a recent interview with GamesRadar , Gerighty admitted that he was "a 
little disappointed" when the review scores were released, but is glad that 
players are connecting with the game either way. 

"I'm a little disappointed with the Metacritic; Of course, recognition from 
press and critics is very important to us, but players are really connecting 
with what we did," Gerighty said. 

The creative director added that there's a "level of pride, happiness, and 
sense of accomplishment" among the team at Massive Entertainment and that the 
team "literally reached for the stars" throughout the game's four-year 
development. 

Gerighty continued, saying that Star Wars Outlaws will be a game players will 
keep coming back to for years and that the studio has plans to improve it 
further. 

"This will be a game that millions of people are going to play for years and 
years, and were never going to stop improving it," he said. "Well, thats a 
lie, well probably stop improving it, but today my mind is not on stopping 
improving it." 

In terms of what's to come, Massive Entertainment hasn't laid out plans for 
any quality-of-life improvements just yet, but we do know that more 
post-launch content will be arriving later this year. 

As detailed in the Season Pass roadmap , Star WarsOutlaws will receive two 
story packs, both of which can be purchased separately if players didn't 
purchase the Gold or Ultimate Edition. 

Story Pack One is called Wild Card and is set to arrive in Fall 2024, and 
will follow Kay Vess infiltrating a high-stakes Sabacc tournament alongside 
Lando Calrissian. Story Pack Two is A Pirate's Fortune , and will be released 
in Spring 2025, featuring the return of the fan-favorite pirate Hondo Ohnaka.
