Star Wars Insider Details Canceled Outlaws DLC Plans

Star Wars Outlaws was supposed to have six DLCs in total, an insider has claimed. However, that meant struggling sales Star Wars Outlaws received only a fraction of the intended post-launch support, which has since come from developer Massive Entertainment.

Star Wars Outlaws puts players in the shoes of villain Kay Vess in a story set between The Empire strikes back and Return of the Jedi. With a Top Critic Average of 75 from review aggregator OpenCritic, it received decent reviews, but these days that's not always enough to translate into strong sales. Ubisoft has since acknowledged that Star Wars Outlaws was a financial flop,

Star Wars Outlaws was supposed to have 6 DLCs

Star Wars insider FivesWalker has revealed on X that Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment originally planned for the open-world game outlaws to have six DLCs. One of these DLCs would be a tie-in to the novel Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moonwhich was released earlier this year. According to the insider, the game was expected to be much more successful than it was, leading to a change in plans to reduce the amount of post-launch support.

Of the alleged six planned DLCs, only two were released: Wild Card and A pirate's fortune. These DLCs brought back the fan-favorite Star Wars characters Lando Calrissian and Hondo Ohnaka, but even they weren't enough to help turn outlaws to a financial success. As a result, it's understandable why Ubisoft would choose not to continue the DLC, even if it's disappointing for fans.

Interestingly, FivesWalker also claims that there was a sequel to the game planned, which was again affected by its lack of success. This is consistent with reports from last year, which indicated that a Star Wars Outlaws the sequel had been canceled by Ubisoft. However, it is unclear how far along a sequel was ever in development.

Despite the struggling sales of Star Wars Outlawsit's going to be a huge few years in play for the galaxy far, far away. XCOM-like strategy game Star Wars: Zero Company and pod racing title Galactic Racer both are expected to launch this year, barring delays. The fate of the old republic and the long-awaited VERTEBRAE the remake will take players back to the Old Republic era when it releases. Then there's Respawn's Star Wars Jedi 3which will conclude the trilogy of (so far) acclaimed titles. And despite being MIA, Star Wars Eclipse is still in development at Quantic Dream. If everything comes true in the next few years, Star Wars fans will have plenty of games to be excited about.
