Star Wars Outlaws already looks to be a promising open-world game, but it needs to launch with one of the best aspects of Jedi: Survivor. The Star Wars Jedi games are the first major single-player experiences to come out of the new Disney Star Wars canon, and they are incredible. Jedi: Survivor, in particular, had a host of great features and mechanics that many other games in the action/adventure genre fail to include, and Star Wars Outlaws will be much better off if it looks to Jedi: Survivor as a template.
Despite Jedi: Survivor being several months after launch, it is still fresh in the mind of Star Wars fans. When the announcement of Star Wars Outlaws was made, many jumped to compare it with Jedi: Survivor in hopes that Outlaws could match its quality. Thankfully, Massive Entertainment is at the helm of the project, and the studio has previously developed or collaborated on excellent open-word titles such as The Division 2 and Fry Cry 3. Still, one feature often eludes action/adventure games that Jedi: Survivor did exceptionally well and that Outlaws should take note of – new game plus.

Purity increases all damage dealt and received. Warrior replaces standard combat encounters with more challenging ones, and Trendsetter randomizes the player’s cosmetics each time Cal dies. These perks add significant replayability to a game that is already very replayable. Jedi: Survivor set the bar very high in this regard, and it would be highly impressive if Star Wars Outlaws does the same at launch.
Jedi: Survivor’s awesome new game plus options are an outlier in many new releases. Many games have a NG+ mode, but they are often added later in a post-launch update. For example, 2018’s God of War didn’t ship with new game plus, nor did God of War: Ragnarok. However, NG+ support was added much quicker in the latter’s case. Even Jedi: Fallen Order was missing a new game plus option upon release. After Jedi: Survivor’s impressive NG+ showing, however, seeing more games try to match it wouldn’t be surprising.
