Players frustrated with the stealth mechanics in "Star Wars Outlaws" can expect relief soon, as Ubisoft Massive, the game's developer, is actively working on modifications to improve these challenging aspects. This issue has become a significant point of contention among players, especially when being detected by an enemy causes abrupt mission failures, forcing a restart and resulting in lost progress.

In a recent conversation, Julian Gerighty, the Creative Director at Ubisoft Massive, acknowledged the game's punishing difficulty, particularly in its early stages. Gerighty stated, "The level of difficulty some players are experiencing was not intended. We recognize the need for adjustments to make the gameplay smoother and are committed to addressing this issue." This candid admission highlights the team's awareness and readiness to enhance the gaming experience, ensuring it aligns better with player expectations.

The game, set in the expansive world of Mirogana, introduces its stealth mechanics right from the outset, posing a stiff challenge to newcomers who are just getting acquainted with its dynamics. Gerighty clarified that while the failure states won’t be completely removed, the development team is considering several straightforward solutions to refine the gameplay. These enhancements aim to make the game feel more user-friendly and less frustrating, especially during the initial hours of play.

Gerighty also reassured fans that the team is working diligently on a patch, expected to roll out within the next week or so. This update is anticipated to adjust the difficulty settings and tweak the stealth elements to offer a fairer, more engaging experience. He emphasized the importance of fairness in gameplay, a sentiment that Ubisoft Massive aims to reflect more accurately through these upcoming modifications.

Star Wars Outlaws is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This broad availability guarantees that players from all backgrounds can access and enjoy the game provided that the frustrating elements are adequately addressed. With Ubisoft Massive's commitment to ongoing improvements and the upcoming patch, players can anticipate a more balanced and enjoyable gaming experience that fulfills the exciting potential of Star Wars Outlaws.
