As part of its ongoing effort to turn Star Wars Outlaws into a game that more people might actually want to buy, Ubisoft has rolled out its first developer update, revealing that creative director Julian Gerighty has been replaced as creative director by The Division and Avatar veteran Drew Rechner.

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.

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.

That’s according to Ubisoft Massive’s Drew Rechner, who has recently taken on the role of Star Wars Outlaws creative director, replacing Julian Gerighty, who has switched his focus to The Division 3.

The developers behind Star Wars Outlaws lay out their three primary focus areas for improving the open-world Star Wars game in future update patches.

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.

Many gamers report problems on PlayStation 5 when playing Star Wars Outlaws after the game's latest update, rendering it hard to play for some.

Ubisoft has released its first developer update for Star Wars Outlaws, with new creative director Drew Rechner promising big changes after the open world adventure debuted to disappointing sales. Rechner said in the update that Ubisoft had been "gathering and actioning players' feedback" since launch and has identified key areas where it can "elevate the game experience to better meet" player expectations.
