There was some debate raised over Star Wars Outlaws‘ claim that it was the franchise’s first open-world game but speaking to Screen Rant, Wilbert Roget, the game’s composer, thinks the comparison to other titles doesn’t make sense. The video game industry has long struggled with the idea of genre, with some experiences overlapping across multiple styles and tropes. “Open-world” has become more of a mechanical description than any kind of had-and-fast genre, but that hasn’t stopped some fans from bringing up Star Wars: The Old Republic, which also featured an expansive world for players to explore.
