Ubisoft is renowned for creating massive games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla that can provide players with hundreds of hours of gameplay. While this level of content is impressive, it may not be feasible for many players who have limited free time.
Fortunately, the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws seems to strike a balance in terms of game length. Julian Geirghty, the creative director, revealed in an interview with VGC that the main story of the game is expected to take around 30 hours to complete.
Geirghty explained, “Very, very early on, we decided this is going to be a 25, 30-hour golden path adventure, 50 hours, 60 hours for completionists, and that is, for a guy with a family and a job, it’s still a fair amount of time. It’s not [an] Assassin’s Creed epic, [with] 200 hours’ worth of gameplay, so that allows us to really focus on the detail, it allows us to focus, maybe with a smaller team, on executing something that is manageable.”
However, the total gameplay time can vary based on how much of the additional content players choose to explore. With an open world and numerous side quests to discover, players may find themselves spending more than the estimated 30 hours in the game.
We recently got a sneak peek at Star Wars Outlaws during a hands-on preview session. The game showcased various scenarios and settings, hinting at hidden treasures and secrets waiting to be uncovered. It is set to launch on August 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
