On August 30th we will meet Kay and Nyx in Star Wars Outlaws dur2ch die Galaxis gaunern. Ab heute geht das auf dem dem PC or Steam. Passend dazu erscheint auch der erste Story-DLC “Wild Card” on all platforms. Damit aber nicht genug. Ubisoft wants to get a big update soon to get a lot of criticism in the form of hidden missions.

Star Wars Outlaws-Update gibt uns mehr Freiheit in Stealth-Missionen

  • Do you want to update the update panel? ab heute, November 21, 2024 for all unterstützten Plattformen
  • Which update is the big one?
    • PS5: 7.44 GB (version 01.004.000)
    • Xbox Series X/S: 10.18 GB (version 1.0.4.0)
    • PC: 8.83 GB (version 1.0.4.0)

This is a new component name update that occurs on the following pages: Zum einen Bringt es neue Aufträge ins Spiel, zum anderen passt es Kampf- und Stealth-Inhalte an.

So it’s best if you die, more Waffen aufzuheben und sie länger einzusetzen. Diese und weitere Anpassungen sollen uns mehr Freiheiten bieten. When I was safe, or in offensive operations, it was auch den Frust in Stealth-Missionen verhindern soll.

I don’t need Dev-Update Nr. 3 ging das Entwicklerteam naher darauf ein. Die “Keinen Alarm auslösen” – or “Nicht erwischt werden” – Missionen wurden nicht nur wie in update 1.1.2 leicht angepasst, sondern nun komplett entschärft:

“Unser erster Schritt zur Erweiterung der Spielerauswahl is Entfernung der erzwungenen Tarnung aus fast allen Missionszielen. Das bedeutet nicht, dass Schleichen keine practikable or in Manchen Fällen sogar vorzuziehende Option mehr ist. When you are indoors, you cannot use it unless you want it to be damaged, and you cannot check it at the security checkpoint. Stattdessen wechseln Sie nahtlos in den Kampf. We know that the life of a man who engages in tarnanzanie may be war es uns wichtig, diesen Spielstil beizubehalten und Ihnen gleichzeitig die Freiheit zu geben, zu entscheiden, wie Sie jede Mission angehen.“

Es wurde aber nicht nur am Gameplay geschraubt, sondern beispielsweise auch der Bildschärfe.
