Star Wars Outlaws Receives 19+ Rating in South Korea Due to Gambling Mini-Game
The upcoming game from Massive Entertainment, set to release in 2024, features a poker-like mini-game, prompting the high age rating.
- Star Wars Outlaws, developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft, is rated 19+ in South Korea for realistic simulation of speculative behavior.
- The high rating is attributed to a mini-game within Star Wars Outlaws that includes in-game betting and dividends, resembling the Sabbac card game from the Star Wars universe.
- Despite the high rating in South Korea, it remains unclear if other countries will follow suit, given varying regulations on gambling depictions in games.
- NVIDIA announced that Star Wars Outlaws will launch with DLSS 3 and ray-traced effects, promising enhanced visual depth and realism.
- There is no concrete release date yet for Star Wars Outlaws, but the game is confirmed to launch in the Financial Year 2025, with expectations of a release later this year.
