‘Star Wars Outlaws’ Earns ‘M’ Rating in Australia Due to Violence, Teases Imminent Release
The anticipated title from Ubisoft, Star Wars Outlaws, has recently been classified with an ‘M’ rating by the Australian Classification ratings board. This classification draws attention primarily due to its references to science-fiction themes and violence. An interesting aspect of this rating is its mention of online functionality, a peculiar detail since Ubisoft has previously confirmed that Star Wars Outlaws is designed to be a single-player game.
This development in the game’s classification journey hints at the possibility that its release might be on the horizon. However, this is speculative and not set in stone, as seen in the case of another Ubisoft game, Skull & Bones, which received its Australian rating almost two years before it was actually made available to the public.
In terms of when fans can expect to dive into this exciting new chapter in the Star Wars universe, there have been hints and revisions regarding its launch timeframe. Initially, indications pointed towards a late 2024 release, as mentioned on the Disney Parks website. However, this specific timeframe was later broadened to a more general 2024 release window. These fluctuations in the release date announcement suggest that while the game is slated to come out next year, the exact timing remains fluid.
Star Wars Outlaws is set to make its debut across several platforms, including PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. This wide availability is eagerly anticipated by fans of the franchise and gamers looking for their next adventure in a galaxy far, far away. With its ‘M’ rating, the game promises to bring a level of intensity and thematic depth that will resonate with an older audience, encapsulating the essence of science-fiction violence that has been a hallmark of the series.
As the gaming community awaits further details, the mystery surrounding the online functionality mentioned by the Australian Classification remains. Whether this indicates potential future updates or simply a misclassification is yet to be seen. Regardless, the anticipation for Star Wars Outlaws continues to build, promising an engaging and immersive single-player experience set within the beloved Star Wars universe.
