Ubisoft responds to controversy over Star Wars Outlaws' Jabba mission exclusive to season pass

Earlier this week, we learned that a Star Wars Outlaws mission with Jabba the Hutt will only be available to those with the season pass. Following many expressing their annoyance, Ubisoft was forced to speak out.

Alas, the French publisher's spokesperson seems to have found it fairly easy to justify this decision.

"To clarify, Jabba the Hutt and the Hutt Cartel are one of the main syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws and will be part of the experience for everyone who purchases the game, regardless of edition. The 'Jabba's Gambit' mission is an optional, additional mission with the Hutt Cartel along Kay and Nix's journey across the Outer Rim. This mission will be available to those who purchase the season pass or an edition of the game which includes the season pass."

Ubisoft is trying to reassure players that this is a secondary quest that should have no impact on the overall understanding of the story.
