Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws is connected to the greater Star Wars universe in some interesting ways, and one of those ways will see the return of Lady Qi’ra. Information on the character’s return comes from Game Informer, which spoke with developer Massive Entertainment about its open-world sci-fi spinoff. The adventure sees the main character Kay Vess coming face-to-face with various ********* bosses. According to Game Informer's cover story, Lady Qi’ra will be among the bunch and represents Crimson Dawn. Warning: Some plot details and one spoiler for Solo: A Star Wars Story below. For those who don’t remember the formidable ****** lord’s name, she appeared in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Played by Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke, the character has a major role in the Han Solo prequel film and takes some dark turns by the time the credits roll. We last saw her speaking with an aged Darth Maul at the end of that movie but haven’t heard much from her since. Clarke, however, will not be returning to play Qi'ra for the game, as Game Informer editor Brian Shea revealed on X/Twitter: Regarding the Qi’ra in Star Wars Outlaws news: I’ve confirmed it will not be Emilia Clarke portraying her in the game. — Brian Shea (@BrianPShea) April 9, 2024 Solo takes place many years before Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope sees Han team up with Luke and Leia to take down the Empire’s ****** Star. Star Wars Outlaws, meanwhile, takes place between Episodes V and VI, meaning the Lady Qi’ra we’ll meet will be much older than the one from the movie. A screenshot from Game Informer (via ScreenTime) reveals a small peak at the character's appearance. Qi’ra will be in ‘STAR WARS OUTLAWS’ (via: @gameinformer) [Hidden Content] — ScreenTime (@screentime) April 9, 2024 It’s unclear how large Lady Qi’ra’s role will be when it comes to the overall story Ubisoft hopes to tell. However, we did get a better look at Star Wars Outlaws’ heroes and villains in a story trailer revealed earlier today. So far, the spinoff looks like it’s trying its best to be the scoundrel simulator fans have always wanted. We’ll know more about how it fits into the Star Wars universe when it comes to PC via Ubisoft Connect, Amazon Luna, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S on August 30, 2024.

Blizzard has announced that a coming update to World of Warcraft: Classic re-introducing the fiery Cataclysm expansion will land on May 20. Officially, Classic will heat up a little before that on April 30 with the pre-patch event. Cataclysm's pre-patch back in the day was one doozy of a change, too. It introduced playable Worgen and Goblins, set the dragon Deathwing loose on Azeroth, and because of Deathwing's escapades, transformed the entire landscape of Azeroth's main continents. The full expansion on May 20 will include seven new (to Classic) zones, nine new dungeons, three new raid dungeons, the Archeologu profession. Flying will be introduced to Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms. Additionally, with the transformation of the main continents' landscapes, numerous new quests will be introduces, while old ones will disappear forever. It's a pretty drastic change to what the current map looks like: the Barrens splits in half, Thousand Needles goes underwater, and a chunk of Darkshore's coastline is washed away. Also, Deathwing is flying around and can randomly set entire zones on *****. Cool! WoW Classic marches on All of this reflects the changes to World of Warcraft initially introduced when Cataclysm was first released back in 2010, with very few exceptions. When Classic was first released, Blizzard's goal was to give players an opportunity to experience World of Warcraft as it was when it first launched, rather than being forced to flock to player-run servers. Experience your favorite Cataclysm moments faster than ever before! Pre-Patch – April 30 Launch – May 20 Rise of the Zandalari – July 2024 Rage of the Firelands – October 2024 Hour of Twilight – January 2025 Stand in the *****: [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] — World of Warcraft (@Warcraft) April 9, 2024 But with Cataclysm, the world of Azeroth begins to more closely resemble what the game looks like now — ****** several expansion-specific zones. The original World of Warcraft, as it was prior to all expansions, is still available as a Classic option, and Blizzard has introduced a number of special rules servers to spice it up such as Hard Mode and Season of Discovery. World of Warcraft: Classic is available to anyone with a World of Warcraft subscription. Currently, Classic's main servers are in the final days of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, with all raids and dungeons from that time available, including Icecrown Citadel.
