According to people familiar with the matter, the sequel to "Star Wars: The Outlaws" has been put on hold.As a top IP spanning nearly half a century, the Star Wars series not only established its position in science fiction history with the classic trilogy, but also continued to expand its galaxy territory through the subsequent two trilogies (and the new trilogy under preparation), derivative films, novels and games.

In the game field, works such as Star Wars: Frontline and Old Republic Samurai have always occupied a special place in the hearts of fans.Despite high calls for Star Wars: Frontline 3, its prospects are still unclear.EA once held the exclusive rights of Star Wars games on the console for ten years, and the performance of launching only four works (including two sequels) disappointed fans.Therefore, when Ubisoft announced the creation of its first open world Star Wars game, players' expectations were full, but the final results failed to meet the standards.

"Star Wars: The Outlaws" suffered a Waterloo, and the main reason was that the initial version was not completed.Although the later optimization has improved, Ubisoft's senior executives blamed the failure in part on the Star Wars brand being in a low period - the mediocre reputation of film and television works in recent years has indeed affected the popularity of IP, but this explanation may not necessarily make all players buy it.

Game reporter Tom Henderson revealed that the sequel, which is still in the prototype stage, has been cancelled.It is said that the project has never entered formal production and only stays in the early preparation period.Although the storyline may continue the previous ending, it now seems that "The Outlaw Madman" is destined to be an independent chapter.
