The Star Wars video game franchise is renowned for immersing players in the epic saga of the Jedi, allowing them to wield lightsabers and connect with the Force. However, few games have ventured into the thrilling life of a Han Solo-like scoundrel, tackling perilous smuggling missions and high-stakes contracts. Enter Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft’s latest action-adventure title that promises to let players embrace the rogue lifestyle as Kay Vess.

During the Ubisoft Forward event on Monday, fans were treated to a 10-minute gameplay showcase of Star Wars Outlaws. The presentation featured Kay Vess embarking on a mission to the iconic Mos Eisley on Tatooine. As detailed by game director Mathias Karlson, players will explore the galaxy to find experts who can enhance Kay’s skills. In this case, a skilled gunslinger on Tatooine aids her in upgrading her blaster abilities.
The gameplay begins with Kay departing from a bustling merchant station aboard her ship, the Trailblazer. En route to Tatooine, she engages in intense aerial combat against pirate starfighters. Upon landing in Mos Eisley, a notorious haven for rogues and scoundrels, Kay follows a lead to a Hutt cartel-controlled warehouse. She stealthily infiltrates the camp, takes down enemies, gathers crucial intel, and narrowly escapes after a fierce shootout to meet the gunslinger.

Ubisoft also premiered a four-minute game overview trailer for Star Wars Outlaws during the event. This trailer delves into the backstory of Kay and her loyal companion Nix, showcasing their adventurous journey and the expansive open world players can explore.
Set during the golden age of the underworld, Star Wars Outlaws invites players to traverse diverse biomes, interact with unique environments, and navigate the dangers they present. The game promises to let players engage with various crime syndicates and factions, allowing them to either gain favor or become outlaws on the run.
The dynamic start of Star Wars Gaming:
Ubisoft’s upcoming title aims to stand out among the recent successes in the Star Wars gaming universe. Unlike Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which focused on melee action with Soulslike mechanics, Star Wars Outlaws offers a fully explorable open world with blaster and ship combat and a strong emphasis on exploration. This unique approach could introduce a refreshing new dynamic to the Star Wars gaming experience.
The launch of “Star Wars Outlaws” :
Star Wars Outlaws is set to launch on August 30 for PC, Xbox Series S/X, and PS5. Players who preorder the Gold or Ultimate Editions, or subscribe to Ubisoft+ Premium, will enjoy three days of early access starting August 27.
Get ready to dive into the vibrant underworld of the Star Wars universe, take on dangerous missions, and explore a galaxy filled with intrigue and adventure. Star Wars Outlaws promises to be an unforgettable journey for fans and newcomers alike.
