Star Wars Outlaws targets combat, stealth, and more in next big Xbox update

If you’re waiting to take on the Star Wars Outlaws achievements until the game is in a more polished state, then you might not have much longer to go. Star Wars Outlaws Update 1.4 arrives on November 21, as does the game’s first story pack, with new creative director Drew Rechner outlining some of the upcoming improvements.Title Update 1.4 and the Wild Card story pack arrive on November 21We know from last month’s update that Update 1.4 will be the “biggest one yet”, and the Star Wars Outlaws team has detailed how its key areas of improvement will “culminate” in Title Update 1.4 later this month.”The first key area of improvement to the game is combat where we see a real opportunity to add more depth and excitement to the experience, further rewarding your tactics and precision,” Rechner says. “Our second key area is stealth which is not only about improving the readability and consistency of enemy detection, but also providing choice in how you want to approach each encounter. Finally, our third key area of focus is centered around the character controls, which means improving the reliability of cover, increasing the responsiveness of climbing and crouching, and generally improving the consistency of the controls overall.”It’s interesting to see that Rechner has “recently taken the helm” as Star Wars Outlaws’ creative director, since it seems an odd time to make such an important change with the base game already out. What lies ahead now are those performance improvements and any DLC, such as the Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card story pack, which arrives on November 21 too as the next step of Star Wars Outlaws’ post-launch content. After that, the game’s second story pack will be A Pirate’s Fortune in spring 2025.
