Ubisoft clarifies that Gold and Ultimate edition only grants access to a bonus Jabba mission
Following a mild-to-moderate outcry, Ubisoft have clarified that queasy worm gangster Jabba The Hutt isn’t, in fact, aStar Wars Outlawsspecial edition or season pass exclusive. The apparently much-beloved star slug will appear in every edition of the game, but if you scrape together the credits for the Gold or Ultimate Editions, you’ll get access to a Jabba’s Gambit mission as part of the game’s season pass.
Developed by The Division outfit Massive, Star Wars Outlaws is Ubisoft’s latest licensedopen worldbally-hoo, featuring several planets' worth of Star Wars NPCs you can shoot, talk to, sneak past or drive away from on your Land Speeder. It’s the tale of Kay Vess, a Harrison Ford-ish raggamuffin with a pet space squirrel, who is on the run from a jinxed crimelord, the villainous Sliro. The lastStar Wars Outlaws story trailerfeatured Jabba, so it would have been a risible development indeed if Ubisoft had suddenly dropped a paywall in front of the character.
“To clarify, Jabba the Hutt and the Hutt Cartel are one of the main syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws and will be part of the experience for everyone who purchases the game, regardless of edition,” a Ubisoft spokesperson said in a statement toEurogamer.
“The ‘Jabba’s Gambit’ mission is an optional, additional mission with the Hutt Cartel along Kay and Nix’s journey across the Outer Rim. This mission will be available to those who purchase the season pass or an edition of the game which includes the season pass.”
