Whenever you have a long-running franchise with entire tomes of lore to consider, you’ll have passionate fans who have strong opinions. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but it’s best to step back and enjoy a project like this individually. So, is Star Wars Outlaws canon? Here’s what you should know about the game’s lore and setting!
Is Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws Canon?
Unfortunately, whether Star Wars Outlaws is canon remains up in the air. There are many different opinions regarding the lore of the science-fiction universe. Some feel that the same isn’t canon, that it’s a “fan-made” project. That said, it does connect to the setting’s official lore with iconic locations, characters, factions, equipment, and events.
If Ubisoft’s upcoming game isn’t officially canon, it’s about as close as one can get without stepping over the boundary line. More than likely, however, diehard fans will find fault with the game’s story and lore choices. For most of us, Outlaws will likely wind up as an exciting and time-consuming adventure!
