When does Star Wars Outlaws take place in the timeline?

Star Wars Outlaws timeline places it very definitively within the films, narrowing down a universe that spans thousands of years at this point, with different eras, factions, powers, and levels of technology. So exactly when in the canon timeline Star Wars Outlaws is set makes a significant difference to Kay Vess’ story: after all is the Old Republic, the Empire or the First Order currently in control? Are the Jedi still a dominant force? Is the galaxy going through one of its increasingly rare moments of peace? We’ll explain when Star Wars Outlaws takes place below, and what the implications for the narrative are in main Star Wars timelineWhen is Star Wars Outlaws set?

Helldivers 2 devs are rolling back some of Escalation of Freedom’s controversial Flamethrower changes and buffing damage by 33%, putting bug barbequing back on the menu

Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says it hears players “loud and clear” about the controversial Flamethrower changes rolled out in last month’s big Escalation of Freedom update, so tweaks are being made to make cooking Chargers as fun as it once was.As hinted in the blog post shared last week, which gave some insight into the devs’ progress through their 60-day action plan, Flamethrower damage and mechanics are being reworked (or re-reworked?) in the next Helldivers 2 update launching on September 17. “We’ve heard you loud and clear and Flamethrower damage is increased by 33%,” Arrowhead writes on Twitter.We’ve heard you loud and clear and Flamethrower damage is increased by 33%🔥Flamer mechanics will be reverted to the state before the Escalation of Freedom update and flamebased weapons can now damage heavier enemies like Chargers, Bile Titans, Impalers and Hulks. #BuffDivers pic.twitter.com/O9oipGJsfdSeptember 10, 2024″Flamer mechanics will be reverted to the state before the Esc…

After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games – but not the now-dead original

Earlier this year, Ubisoft shut down the servers for The Crew, leaving the always-online racing game completely unplayable even to those who’d already bought it. The backlash to this decision has spawned a massive consumer rights campaign that’s now seeking 1 million signatures in the EU, and in the wake of that response, the devs are adding offline modes to newer The Crew games – but not the now-dead original.”We heard your concerns about access to The Crew games,” Ubisoft says in a message on social media. “Today, we want to express our commitment to the future of The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest. We can confirm an offline mode to ensure long term access to both titles, stay tuned for more news in the next months.”This all comes in the wake of the Stop Killing Games initiative, a consumer rights campaign that’s been reaching out to global lawmakers in hopes of prohibiting publishers from completely revoking access to games players have already purchased. The campaign’s latest effort…

Final Fantasy 14 devs just went ahead with their FF9 homage because otherwise they would have been “waiting and waiting” for the rumored JRPG remake to show up

Final Fantasy 14’s Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida has once again put some distance between the MMO and the long-rumored Final Fantasy 9 remake. In a new interview, he reiterates that the MMO serves as a Final Fantasy theme park and that FF9’s inclusion is no different from other series entries.Earlier this year, Yoshida turned some heads during a PAX East panel when he revealed that Final Fantays 14’s Dawntrail expansion would come with a few FF9-related goodies like minions and a popular summon turned into a mount. “You may have noticed a lot of Final Fantasy 9 references here,” he said on stage with a smirk, “but the reason is a secret.”Final Fantasy 14 featuring nods to other games in the series isn’t anything new, though the swirling rumors around Final Fantasy 9 getting a remake got people’s attention. That, and comments about two unannounced games we’d hear about “soon.” As such, Yoshi-P clarified in a later Live Letter stream that FF14 dev Creative Unit 3 isn’t remaking the beloved JRP…

I can’t believe a new Famicom Detective Club is what finally got me excited for the Switch 2, but here we are

We all know that the Switch 2 is currently looming on the horizon. The specifics don’t really matter right now beyond the fact that it’s known that Nintendo is gearing up for the next big thing, whatever that is. Until recently, I’ve considered this something of a nuisance in much the same way as I did the impending shift away from the Nintendo 3DS once and for all. I’ve recently come around on the idea, however, and it’s all thanks to Emio – The Smiling Man, a Famicom Detective Club sequel that took decades to happen.Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club likely isn’t the sort of game anyone might consider to be a system seller, and it certainly wouldn’t qualify for the Switch successor – whatever it ends up being called – in large part due to the simple fact that it, you know, hasn’t released for it. It’s only just released for the original Nintendo Switch. Add to this that it’s a fairly straightforward visual novel/adventure game distinctly set in Japan decades i…

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle devs put a focus on the “danger level” of using guns because “Indy doesn’t have superpowers”

Despite MachineGames making two of last generation’s best FPS games, the team isn’t pushing gunplay as the main path forward in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The team views guns as more of a “fallback solution” rather than the main focus. Speaking to Edge magazine, creative director Axel Torvenius says “We do not encourage gunplay. It’s not being pushed as the primary way forward. The primary way forward is always trying to use your wits and your whip.”Indiana Jones isn’t a character who is going to win shootouts with dozens of people, he often uses his wits to outsmart the enemy, or avoid conflict all together. Tovenius says “Indy doesn’t have superpowers. Very often, you can tell that it’s not easy for him to be in a fight. At the end of the day, he’s a teacher and a somewhat clumsy archeologist. He just happens to have this passion that puts him in these weird situations constantly with enemies and traps.”It wouldn’t be true to the character to have him constantly shootin…

Astro Bot devs follow up a strong launch with free DLC teases including more VIP bots to rescue and speedrun levels

Astro Bot is following up a hot launch with even more content, as its director confirms we’re getting free DLC that includes challenge levels, leaderboards, new VIP bots, and more.Speaking to Quest Daily, studio director Nicolas Doucet confirms that we’re getting another content helping this year for the lowly sum of nothing. While Doucet is keen to set expectations by saying it’ll be small – not “huge” – there are still a few much-requested bits on the way.We’re getting speedrun levels for the perfectionists, complete with leaderboards and some new VIP bots to rescue. The latter point is interesting, as eagle-eyed fans have already noticed that the game’s credits hint at content for Assassin’s Creed, Stellar Blade, Worms, and Rayman that we’ve yet to see. Who knows, given Doucet’s comments, we may be seeing VIP bots based on those games sooner rather than later.Even more in the realm of teasers, Doucet also says we may get something a bit more “toy” related that’ll be for …

Baldur’s Gate 3’s speedrunning war reignites as former record holder returns to set the RPG’s new Any% world record – and announces she’s coming for her other titles too

One of Baldur’s Gate 3’s leading speedrunners has returned after five months, reigniting the game’s hottest rivalry by setting a new world record and stating that she’s coming for the other categories too.Mae is one of the biggest names in Baldur’s Gate 3 speedrunning, having held records in all three of the RPG’s major categories. The biggest of those is Any% (All Acts), which requires runners to get to the game’s true ending, but the far faster category is Any%, which can be triggered by getting the credits to roll at the end of Act 2. Even faster than that is Sex%, but that’s extremely silly, so we’re not worrying about it right now.

In the weeks after Baldur’s Gate 3 release, Mae set repeated records, eventually establishing a time of 3.31 that she “didn’t think was possible to beat.” Five months after that, however, rival runner Bisc established a new record, beating Mae’s time by just under three secon…
