Being an open world game, we fully expected Star Wars Outlaws to boast a lengthy runtime, and that's been pretty much confirmed. In an interview with VGC, creative director Julian Gerighty reveals that the main story will take you roughly 25-30 hours to complete. Meanwhile, if you're looking to 100% Kay Vess' adventure, you can probably double that runtime.
"Very, very early on, we decided this is going to be a 25, 30 hours golden path adventure, 50 hours, 60 hours for completionists, and that is, for a guy with a family and a job, it’s still a fair amount of time," Gerighty explains.
Interestingly, he goes on to mention Assassin's Creed — a series where recent instalments have been absolutely colossal (the smaller Assassin's Creed Mirage aside). "But it’s not Assassin’s Creed epic, 200 hours’ worth of gameplay, so that allows us to really focus on the detail, it allows us to focus, maybe with a smaller team, on executing something that is manageable."
It would seem Gerighty's aware of common complaints that titles like Assassin's Creed Valhalla are just way too big, and so he's obviously trying to assure potential players that Outlaws won't subscribe to the same blueprint.
