A recent update on Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee website has revealed that the upcoming game Star Wars Outlaws has received a 19+ rating in South Korea. This rating was granted due to the inclusion of "realistic simulation of speculative behavior" and a mini-game featuring in-game betting and dividends.
While the exact nature of this "speculative behavior" is not fully explained, it has raised eyebrows among fans eagerly awaiting the release of Star Wars Outlaws. The game, developed by Massive Entertainment, is set to launch in Financial Year 2025, as confirmed by Ubisoft. However, no specific release date has been announced yet.
Many fans speculate that the mini-game mentioned in the rating description could be a virtual version of the iconic Sabbac card game from the Star Wars universe. Popularized in films like Solo: A Star Wars Story, Sabbac is a poker-style game that adds a layer of excitement and risk to the galaxy far, far away.
It remains to be seen if the controversial content that led to the 19+ rating in South Korea will have a similar impact in other regions. Past instances, like the delisting of Balatro due to gambling elements, have shown that different countries have varying regulations when it comes to gaming content and ratings.
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of Star Wars Outlaws, it's clear that the game is shaping up to offer a unique and immersive experience for players. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated title!
