As the countdown for Star Wars Outlaws begins, folks’ expectations have increased tremendously. We must admit, the first open-world Star Wars game sounds pretty exciting. We already know the basic aspects of the Star Wars universe, but what exactly can this title, set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, offer to the players?
Even though things got a little better with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, this brand still has a way to change the balance in the gaming business. So could Elden Ring, with its striking open-world and storytelling elements, be the key to this?
Elden Ring Could Be a Guide to Star Wars Outlaws’ Success
Elden Ring is an Action RPG game with a Metascore of 96, published by Bandai Namco in 2022. Even if you haven’t played the game, you’ve probably heard of it because it won the Game of the Year award in 2022.
Freedom is a critical element in games, and some successfully blend this and the story to create a work of art. Elden Ring excels at providing players with more freedom than they anticipated, making it one of the best games in this aspect.
Thanks to this freedom, the story is not imposed on folks, there is no coercion, and in short, there is an open world where players can do whatever they want. Whether right or wrong, it doesn’t matter; all the choices you make are yours. Of course, there are also negative consequences for wrong decisions.
FromSoftware believes that offering players the freedom to make mistakes enhances the engagement and success of storytelling. Unfortunately, this method, in which choices shape the story flow, is still not preferred by developers today. However, things can change suddenly with Star Wars Outlaws.
Could Star Wars Outlaws Learn Something From Elden Ring About Freedom?
It is not exactly easy to say, however, it is a fact that Star Wars Outlaws has the potential to do this. A successful blending of freedom and storytelling with the Star Wars universe could create a game that would be talked about for many years.
Especially the stuff ”If you’re willing to take the risk, the galaxy is full of opportunity.” on Ubisoft’s official website suggests that the game could be more daring than seizing the greatest strength of the Elden Ring.
What do you think about the game? Do you think the upcoming Star Wars game will be able to replicate that sparkle from Elden Ring?
