In addition to thanking fans for their positive reactions, the developer underlined that the team was closely monitoring player feedback and preparing for major changes. As Rechner specified, SW: Outlaws will see improvements primarily in combat, stealth, and controls.

Ubisoft's troubled Star Wars Outlaws has a new leader, vision, and a big update on the way that will overhaul the game - from combat to animation and more.

Lucasfilm Games has opened up the galaxy far, far away to several studios and genres. Here’s every new Star Wars game currently in development.

Changes are coming to three key areas that those who’ve played Outlaws for any extended period of time could guess, and a fourth, unexpected change. The aforementioned Julian Gerighty is no longer creative director on the title, and instead Drew Rechner has taken up the role.

Star Wars Outlaws is an offline single-player game that came out over two months ago, but Ubisoft is increasingly treating it like a post-launch live service game with continual updates and, now, a new director.

Star Wars Outlaws has itself a new creative director, as Drew Rechner has taken over from previous director Julian Gerighty.

As of this week, Drew Rechner will be replacing Julian Gerighty on future post-launch direction of Star Wars Outlaws.
