Star Wars Outlaws seems to be taking a unique approach to the Star Wars universe, offering players an open-world adventure with a non-Jedi protagonist and a focus on heists and exploration in the Outer Rim. One of the intriguing features of the game is the inclusion of the iconic card game Sabacc as a playable mini-game.
Sabacc, a blackjack-like card game with detailed rules, is set to be a part of Star Wars Outlaws according to the ESRB rating summary. While Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment have not officially revealed this feature, its confirmation in the ESRB summary suggests its presence in the game. Sabacc holds significance in the Star Wars lore, and its inclusion in Outlaws as a playable mini-game could add depth and immersion to the gaming experience.
The surge in popularity of mini-games in recent years, exemplified by titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Queen’s Blood and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s Gwent, highlights the potential impact of Sabacc in Star Wars Outlaws. Given Sabacc’s canonical association with Tatooine, players may expect to encounter the mini-game on this iconic planet, although the game could potentially feature it on other planets as well.
Revealing more details about Star Wars Outlaws’ version of Sabacc ahead of the game’s release could generate excitement and anticipation among players. Understanding the mechanics and variations of Sabacc featured in the game would not only appeal to hardcore Star Wars fans but also attract gamers interested in engaging mini-games similar to those in popular titles like Queen’s Blood. Formal announcement and promotion of the Sabacc mini-game by Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment would capitalize on the growing popularity of mini-games and enhance the overall appeal of Star Wars Outlaws.
