No Main Quest Completion Rewards
For players who love to linger in the world after the credits roll, the absence of traditional 'New Game Plus' or significant post-game content tied directly to the main quest completion in Star Wars Outlaws might seem surprising. However, this des choice shifts the focus towards the vast open world and its myriad of ongoing activities, ensuring that the adventure continues long after the primary narrative concludes.
Once you've completed the main storyline of Star Wars Outlaws, you might be wondering what awaits you in the galaxy. While there isn't a specific 'post-game' mode that directly continues the main quest with new overarching objectives, the game is designed for continued play. The Outer Rim remains a dangerous and lucrative place, filled with opportunities for those willing to seize them. Your journey as Kay Vess doesn't end with the final mission; it simply evolves into a sandbox of criminal enterprise.
The Open World Continues
The core of Star Wars Outlaws' longevity lies in its expansive open world. After completing the main story, all previously accessible planets, cities, and regions remain open for exploration. This means you can:
- Continue Faction Quests: Work on building your reputation with syndicates like the Pykes, Crimson Dawn, and Hutts. Many faction quests are repeatable or have a large number of available missions that can be pursued indefinitely.
- Undertake Contracts: Take on an endless supply of bounty hunting, smuggling, and assassination contracts from various sources. These are procedurally generated or available from specific job boards.
- Engage in Side Activities: Participate in mini-games like speeder races, arcade challenges, and gambling to earn credits and unique rewards.
- Explore and Collect: Hunt for hidden collectibles, discover secret locations, and complete environmental challenges that you may have missed during the main story.
- Upgrade Gear: Continue to craft and upgrade your blasters, armor, and ship to their maximum potential.
Focus on Player-Driven Goals
The game encourages players to set their own goals and create their own narratives within the established world. This might include:
- Becoming the Richest Scoundrel: Amassing a vast fortune through successful heists and lucrative contracts.
- Achieving Maximum Reputation: Earning the highest possible standing with all major criminal syndicates.
- Mastering Combat: Perfecting your skills in both on-foot and ship-to-ship combat.
- Completing All Achievements: For those seeking a true challenge, unlocking every achievement and trophy offers a significant long-term objective.
What to Expect
While there are no new main story chapters unlocked after completion, the world itself provides the content. You can expect:
- Dynamic Events: Random encounters with pirates, bounty hunters, or Imperial patrols will continue to occur.
- Persistent World State: Your actions and reputation with factions will continue to influence the world around you.
- Ongoing Challenges: The difficulty of contracts and encounters may scale, providing a continuous challenge.
Star Wars Outlaws is designed to be a living, breathing world where your criminal career can flourish indefinitely, offering a rich sandbox experience long after the main narrative concludes.
