Star Wars Outlaws requires Season Pass for Jabba the Hutt mission access

Fans of the upcoming open-world game Star Wars Outlaws are in for a surprise as controversy surrounds the inclusion of a Jabba the Hutt mission locked behind a Season Pass. Ubisoft, the game’s developer, recently revealed that players will have to pay extra to access this sidequest featuring the iconic crime lord.

The news has sparked outrage among fans who were eagerly anticipating the game’s release. Many are disappointed that such a crucial mission is not included in the base package and will require additional payment to experience.

According to Ubisoft’s official website, the Season Pass will grant players access to a unique ‘Jabba’s Gambit’ mission, where the protagonist Kay receives a job from Jabba the Hutt himself. This mission is said to be integral to the game’s storyline, making it a must-play for die-hard Star Wars fans.

However, the steep price of the Season Pass has raised concerns among players. Currently only available as part of the Gold or Ultimate Editions of the game, the Season Pass is bundled with additional content that may not be of interest to all players.

Despite the controversy, Star Wars Outlaws is shaping up to be a promising addition to the Star Wars gaming universe. Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the game follows a gang of outlaws led by Kay as they navigate the galaxy’s criminal underworld.

With its release date set for August 27, 2024, fans will have to decide whether the extra cost is worth it to experience the full Star Wars Outlaws adventure.
