The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise

The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise

Guillemot is pointing fingers at the franchise itself, claiming the galaxy far, far away just wasn't popular enough when the game dropped.

TL;DR

Ubisoft’s big-budget Star Wars Outlaws bombed at launch last August, missing its sky-high sales targets. In a recent investor Q&A, CEO Yves Guillemot shrugged off any technical or gameplay hiccups and instead blamed the broader franchise, saying the galaxy far, far away was in “choppy waters” after lukewarm hits like The Acolyte.

He’s adamant the game itself did nothing wrong, insisting it was just poor timing for Star Wars mania. Do you buy that—or was Outlaws torpedoed by its own flaws?
