The galaxy’s underworld allows access to all kinds of missions and places never imagined. One of the characteristics of this title is that it will be open-world.

A Reddit user, who has been closely examining every aspect of this game, has managed to estimate the size of the map. Fortunately for fans, it seems that this game will have an immense map, almost on par with games like Red Dead Redemption 2.

The calculation was made by estimating how long it would take to traverse all the maps and just start driving the speeder without stopping, and this was compared with other games.

This user also analyzed that the map, although quite large, could be somewhat disappointing or misleading due to the lack of interactive content. However, Star Wars Outlaws strives to include numerous activities that align with the skills of the protagonist, the thief.

Once the game is released, it will be seen if the map truly justifies its size. The fans are hoping that it’s a well-developed game in terms of content.

Beyond comparing it to the gigantic map of Red Dead Redemption 2, this user suggests that Ubisoft’s game might not have much content in its vast locations.

It is known that there will be space outposts and other interactive elements, probably including cantinas for getting side missions, but there is no indication of how much real content these gigantic maps will include. There are some indications that the game will feature outpost characters for interaction.

Star Wars Outlaws is set to release on August 30th for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. The game promises an entirely original story where the player can choose which faction of the underworld to join to gain certain benefits.

Each decision and interaction with these factions will allow the player to access areas that will enable story progression. Another feature is that players can decide whether to betray these factions.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
