Star Wars Outlaws’ latest story pack, Wild Card, has been released for Xbox Series X|S. To access this new story pack, players must complete the Gunsmith and The High Roller quests for Lando Calrissian.
In Wild Card, players will join Kay Vess as she embarks on a mission to infiltrate a high-stakes Kessel Sabacc game hosted by Toshara’s Governor Thorden. However, things take a mysterious turn as Kay discovers a hidden game unfolding in the shadows. The game of Kessel Sabacc is just the beginning of the thrilling adventures that await in Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card. With the game being invite-only, Kay must rely on her street smarts to secure a spot at the table.
While the fundamentals of Kessel Sabacc remain consistent in Wild Card, players will face a new set of challenges at the Sabacc table. Hosted by Protocol Droid EY-E9 aboard the casino cruiser Morenia, the game comes with its own set of house rules. One notable rule is the ban on shift tokens, a common tool used by players to manipulate the game. EY-E9 ensures a level playing field by prohibiting shift tokens at her table.
Although shift tokens are off the table, players can still attempt to cheat their way to victory. In Star Wars Outlaws, players have access to three primary cheats: magnetic dice, Lando’s double draw trick, and Nix’s ability to spy on opponents. However, in Wild Card, the dynamics of cheating have shifted. Nix’s usual role is compromised by the lively environment of the game, but he introduces a new cheat to help players deceive their rivals.
Another twist in Wild Card is the introduction of cheats for other players, adding a layer of deception for Kay to navigate. By observing their behavior and dialogue, Kay can uncover their tricks and discreetly alert EY-E9, leading to their elimination from the game.
Unlike traditional four-person tables, the casino cruiser Morenia hosts a six-player table, with EY-E9 overseeing the proceedings. Players must be vigilant and watch out for cheating while vying for victory.
Double Draw
“The double draw technique, a skill taught by Lando, is crucial in this game,” advises Thibaut Machin, Game Director at Ubisoft Paris. Machin suggests combining the double draw cheat with Nix’s card-planting ability to gain an advantage and eliminate competitors.
Gather Intel
Machin emphasizes the importance of exploring the Morenia to uncover valuable information about other players’ cheating strategies. Gathering intel is key to exposing opponents and securing victory.
Have a Good Reputation
Establishing a positive relationship with syndicates onboard the Morenia is essential for Kay’s success in the game. Maintaining a good reputation will aid in navigating the challenges aboard the casino cruiser.
Take Your Time
Machin advises players not to rush in the game and to carefully observe the table dynamics. With limited resources and heightened stakes, strategic gameplay and attention to detail are essential for victory.
