As enthusiasts don their flight suits and prepare for their intergalactic adventure, Star Wars Outlaws continues to generate a buzz. This open-world game takes place in outer space, far beyond our own galaxy.

As Kay Vess, a notorious criminal attempting to execute a notorious robbery, you will find yourself compelled to team up with malicious crime syndicates and maneuver through their inner workings and the vastness of the galaxy.

1. How long is Star War Outlaws?

According to Creative Director Julian Gerighty, a traditional run through the story path of Star War Outlaws will take 25-30 hours. Completing the entire game, including the open-world objectives, will require an additional 25-30 hours.

Julian Gerighty, creative director of Star Wars Outlaws, has officially announced that this upcoming open-world game in the Star Wars universe will have an average completion time of 25 to 30 hours. Of course, this estimate is for players who solely focus on finishing the main storyline. However, those who strive for complete mastery and thorough exploration can expect to spend twice as long playing the game.

Fortunately, it appears that Ubisoft is following through on their commitments this time around. The timeline for the gameplay aligns with the previous information they had disclosed regarding Star Wars Outlaws. During the game’s closed development phase in 2023, Gerighty emphasized that it would not require an excessive amount of playtime.

• 25 to 30 hours for those who focus on the main story
• 50 to 60 hours for the perfection seekers

Numerous spin-offs of the Star Wars franchise have emerged over the years, including various games. However, the Star Wars Outlaws stands out as the very first open-world Star Wars game. With the opportunity for fans to explore different galaxies and the exciting content revealed so far, this game is sure to be a delight to play.

Ubisoft Trend Scares Fans

Recently, Ubisoft has developed a habit of creating games that seem to never end. Not only do they have lengthy storylines, but also an abundance of open-world missions, objectives, and items to collect. This has proven to have both positive and negative effects.

Despite the satisfaction of feeling like they have received their money’s worth, the average gamer may find the amount of gameplay required to complete these games overwhelming. It can often take hundreds of hours, or even several, to fully finish them.

While the confirmed game time mentioned above is from Ubisoft themselves, fans and gamers are concerned that there could potentially be something in Star Wars Outlaws that will cause the game to drag on for an unnecessarily extended period of time.

Fortunately, we can expect Star Wars Outlaws to have the perfect duration for an enjoyable and memorable experience. Despite being an open world game, it is pleasantly surprising that the story path can be completed in just 25 hours.

It is important to remember that the most enjoyable games are not necessarily the longest or biggest ones. What truly matters is the ability to evoke a smile when reminiscing about playing them, even if they only offer a short gameplay experience. As the saying goes, “quality over quantity”(yes, I came up with that phrase).

3. Not as Long as Assassin’s Creed Games

Creative Director Gerighty pointed out that while Star Wars Outlaws may be an open-world game like other Ubisoft titles, it should not be compared to the earlier released Assassin’s Creed games in terms of quality.

While modern Assassin’s Creed games, such as Odyssey and Valhalla, can take a significant amount of time to complete, the Star Wars Outlaws will be taking a different approach.

Despite sacrificing some content and game time, the result will be a game with refined mechanics and a focus on the highest quality existing content. Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora provides a glimpse into the upcoming release and what we can expect in just a few days.

The highly anticipated Star Wars Outlaws is set to be released on August 30, 2024. For those who can’t wait, Ubisoft has a solution. Pre-ordering the Gold or Ultimate Edition of the game will grant early access, while signing up for Ubisoft+ will allow players to enjoy the game on August 27 instead of August 30.
