Since its launch,Star Wars Outlawshas received generally favorable reviews from professional critics, though its reception among fans in general has been less impressive, falling into the mixed or average categories. The first true open-worldStar Warsgame currently holds a 5.4/10 among user reviews on Metacritic, and recent reports indicate thatStar Wars Outlawshas not met Ubisoft’s sales expectations, adding to some fans' concerns about the publisher’s future after the similarly underwhelming pre-release reception received byAssassin’s Creed Shadows.
Possibly in an effort to quell those concerns, the game’s Twitter account has issued a message to players, thanking them for their loyalty and detailing several improvements they can expect to see added to the game. One of these is the announcement of the game’s first story pack, Wild Card, which is set to launch on November 21, the same day the game is set to launch for PC players on Steam.
