Alright guys Wes here welcome back to
the channel today we are back again
talking about the new Star Wars open
world game from Ubisoft as you guys are
well aware Star Wars is one of the
biggest IPS in the entire world
regardless of how much the last decade
or so may have pushed you away from it
in fact I would say the constant tug of
war between good and bad Star Wars
content has kind of woken up the IP’s
owner Disney to the fact that they
actually need to put some real effort
into the projects if they want to keep
people on their side the backlash 2 Star
Wars games started a few years ago when
EA lost their exclusivity rights to the
series as they were not renewed due to
the amount of backlash generated by the
terrible launch that was Battlefront 2.
and we’ve recently been hearing a ton of
rumors that Disney is currently in the
process of pretty much resetting all of
their current efforts for Disney content
in the form of theaters Disney plus and
now video games now in today’s video
we’re going to talk about the mysterious
and allegedly gigantic open World Star
Wars game that if you didn’t know is
currently in development by Ubisoft
massive and I’m sure Ubisoft as a whole
So today we’re going to go over
absolutely everything we know about
ubisoft’s open World Star Wars game and
talk about what it can mean for the
future of the studio as well as Star
Wars games as a whole especially if you
consider all of the insane statements
that have come out from the company in
recent days so get ready guys get
yourself a drink and also don’t forget
to enter the 100 000 subscriber giveaway
those details will be later on in the
video so without further delay let’s go
ahead and dive into it now before we get
into all of the new Star Wars stuff I
want to do a really quick recap about
what’s been happening over at Ubisoft
over the last few weeks as that stuff
will be important when talking about
what the company’s future holds and what
they’re going to be up to going forward
and their most recent Financial update
Ubisoft was confirmed to be canceling
three unannounced games while also
delaying skull and bones for the sixth
time and declined to put a release date
on it meaning the highly anticipated
Pirate game may not come out in 2023
after all it was also confirmed a while
back that Ubisoft quietly canceled
another four games in July of 2022 and
recently reports are claiming that they
were trying to shave a whopping 200
million dollars off of yearly operating
costs now this isn’t the first time
Ubisoft has been in a rough position in
the mid-2000s Ubisoft was pumping out
games far too early in advance leading
to most of them I’m coming out buggy and
underwhelming which is what led to the
DraStic overhaul of Assassin’s Creed
into an RPG Ubisoft has been in the
weeds before but this time it feels a
little bit different for a big reason
they don’t really have any other
fallbacks when Ubisoft was struggling
before they had multiple franchises to
keep them afloat when Assassin’s Creed
was struggling the Tom Clancy and Far
Cry games kind of picked up the slack
and vice versa however over the last few
years Ubisoft has been severely lacking
in output but now that they’re in a
financial hole they really don’t have
anything in the pipeline to save them
the next major Assassin’s Creed game is
still another 8 to 12 months out and the
next Far Cry game isn’t even announced
yet as for Tom Clancy that entire IP has
essentially been run into the dirt over
the last few years with the exception of
Rainbow Six Siege and when it comes to
new IPS the constant delay of skull and
bones are making things quite difficult
Ubisoft Star Wars game is being headed
by Massive entertainment the same Studio
behind the division games and who is
currently working on Avatar frontiers of
Pandora now I know many of you may have
rolled your eyes when you heard me say
the division but honestly I think this
is a good thing rather than a bad one
the division may not have been
everyone’s cup of tea but there’s one
thing that we can all agree about on and
that is the attention to detail within
the open world which was incredible
massive entertainment are experts at
creating really immersive open worlds
and it’s not really a surprise to me
that Ubisoft chose them to make Avatar
and Star Wars the game is also confirmed
to be running on the Snowdrop engine
which is pretty good news to me assuming
that they have worked out all of the
Kinks they had in previous Ubisoft
titles creative director Julian garetti
stated that previously we want to make a
unique game within the Saga with a
captivating story instead of characters
that players can relate to and connect
with we want to take what is known and
familiar about Star Wars and tell
stories of new characters who have their
own motivations and Stakes while that
doesn’t really tell us anything about
the gameplay itself it does make it
clear that it will likely not be
following any of the established
characters granted this doesn’t really
rule out that it takes place during the
era they were familiar with like the
Clone Wars or the Galactic Civil War but
it does confirm that we shouldn’t expect
it to feature too many familiar faces
which is pretty welcome at this point I
don’t know about you guys but I am
pretty much over the Nostalgia baiting
and would rather have new Star Wars
Adventures and stories the gameplay is
getting a ton of attention despite it
being in still really early in
development according to a number of
insiders and official sources Ubisoft
Star Wars game is going to feature a
gigantic open world with a planet
hopping gameplay Loop similar to No
Man’s sky and eventually Starfield
you’ll be able to jump from system to
system to planet to planet and the game
will basically be bursting at the seams
with content now it’s unclear how deep
or detailed this content will be even if
it’s simple stuff there is going to be a
lot of it with the upcoming release of
bethesda’s Starfield which also promises
to have a No Man’s Sky Galaxy to explore
it seems that these gigantic open world
games are getting more popular likely
thanks to the Resurgence of No Man’s sky
in recent years along with the insane
funding that’s going on with the
upcoming Star Citizen if done right in
open World Star Wars game of this scale
could be absolutely incredible and it
could be the Star Wars game that we’ve
all been waiting for similar to how
Hogwarts Legacy is the game that Harry
Potter fans have been waiting for there
seems to be a shift happening where game
companies are finally realizing how much
money there is to be made in licensed
games done properly and I’m really
hoping that the hole that Ubisoft Doug
for themselves is finally going to make
them realize it now granted I have no
idea how a Galaxy sized Star Wars game
can ever be completed in a reasonable
amount of time without some kind of
procedural generation which is kind of a
shame because I’m not a fan of that kind
of game design but you never know now it
is possible that a bunch of the planets
will be meticulously designed while the
rest will be procedural and it’s also
totally possible that massive
entertainment comes up with a really
cool and a new way to do something like
this but I’m nervous about this game’s
size to say the least when talking about
a potential release date it should be
noted that we’re probably at least
another two to three years away from
seeing even a little bit of gameplay
given the fact that the game is
currently being worked on by Massive
entertainment we really shouldn’t be
expecting much in the near future due to
the fact that they’re currently working
on Avatar frontiers of Pandora which was
recently delayed not too long ago
originally Avatar frontiers of Pandora
was going to release alongside the new
movie but since that obviously didn’t
happen Ubisoft is now claiming that the
game will launch by the end of 2024 but
that doesn’t exactly give us too much to
go off of and not too long ago a cryptic
tweet from the creative director made it
clear that 2023 was going to be a big
year for the upcoming Star Wars game
which could potentially mean that
there’s some important news for the
upcoming Star Wars game but further
specular regulation led to many believe
that it’s just going to be something
like a title reveal or maybe a
development update rather than a full
Gameplay trailer or anything that you’d
expect from a game that’s coming up on
its release date granted Insider sources
have stated that Disney wants a new Star
Wars game every six months and they
already have a few lined up on the
schedule but obviously not all of these
are going to be AAA titles and Disney
isn’t likely going to sign off on
anything that will get them in hot water
like EA’s Battlefront games did Disney
clearly wants to revive Star Wars and
gaming but they don’t want to dig the
Star Wars hole any deeper than they
already have which means giving
developers more space to do their thing
but also widening and diversifying who
they give funding to which explains why
they got rid of exclusivity deal with EA
but as for what this means for the
release date I think it all depends on
when Avatar actually comes out it’s
clear the massive entertainment are
working on both Star Wars and Avatar at
the same time but Star Wars isn’t really
going to get the attention it truly
needs until after Avatar launches and
since that may not happen until late
2024 at this point I’m not expecting
Star Wars to launch until 2026. granted
something may change and Ubisoft may put
more hands on the project but ultimately
I’m expecting Star Wars to launch
roughly two years after Avatar Frontiers
in Pandora and since that’s not
happening for a while I wouldn’t expect
to see this new Ubisoft Star Wars game
for the foreseeable future now as I
briefly covered before Ubisoft is
currently in the same situation that EA
was in a while back and honestly that’s
kind of reassuring remember when EA was
getting blasted every year by The Gamers
and being voted worst company in America
over and over again while EA may still
be a bad company at this time they’ve
actually started to improve taking a
step back to let their developers make
better products and also making some
really pro-consumer moves like EA play
and the business model of Apex Legends
sure there’s still some bad eggs like
Battlefield 2042 but then again there
are some genuinely amazing games like
Jedi Fallen order and the extremely hype
sequel Jedi Survivor EA’s controversies
over the last few years have helped kick
them back into shape and with Ubisoft
now on the edge I’m really hoping this
wakes them up Ubisoft has been rapidly
pushing Gamers away with overpriced
undercooked games full of
microtransactions so it really shouldn’t
be a surprise that they’re now in some
pretty serious financial trouble Ubisoft
isn’t going under but if they don’t
start listening to the consumers and
giving Gamers what they want they may
end up getting snatched by a larger
company like Microsoft or Sony but
that’s a video for another day overall
I’m really excited for the prospects of
a giant open World Star Wars game like
this and I certainly think Ubisoft has
the potential to make an amazing game
but with everything that the company has
been up to recently I’m being very
cautious with my hype Ubisoft are some
of the best open world developers in the
world when it comes to the attention to
detail and sheer size but the level
design and storytelling have suffered
due to the lack of quality Care from the
developers which can ultimately be
blamed on the higher ups not giving them
enough time with Ubisoft at a really
hard spot right now I think it would be
a perfect time for them to pull out a
comeback and give us something truly
amazing but they could also just easily
take the quick and easy path as Vader
did and give us another half-baked buggy
no man’s Sky wannabe I know Ubisoft has
the talent and resources for something
amazing but I’m honestly not sure
they’re gonna make use of them only time
will tell I suppose but from the looks
of it we’re not going to see any
gameplay for this game for at least
another two years so I guess we’ll have
to keep waiting keep hoping and cross
your fingers is that it’s something
worth it in the end but yeah guys that’s
gonna wrap it up with this video let me
know what your thoughts are on this
Ubisoft open World Star Wars game are
