It’s finally here! The first open-world Star Wars game is now out on Playstation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Epic Games and the Ubisoft Store.
The game features an original story set between Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Bac and Star Wars: Return of the Jed. As the Galactic Empire relentlessly pursues the final defeat of the Rebel Alliance, the criminal underworld thrives. You play as cunning scoundrel, Kay Vess (voiced by Humberly González), and her loyal companion Nix, (Dee Bradley Baker, Star Wars: The Bad Batc), as they attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen. Seeking the means to start a new life, you will join Kay and Nix as they fight, steal, and outwit their way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates and join the galaxy’s most wanted.
In Star Wars Outlaws, Kay Vess and her companion Nix search for an opportunity of a lifetime. During this era, the Empire’s rule is distracted by the rebellion that won’t quit, leading to a golden age for the underworld. As a skilled thief, Kay’s antics catch the attention of Sliro, the leader of a new, foreboding criminal syndicate Zerek Besh. After Sliro places a bounty on Kay’s head, Kay and Nix are offered their one shot at freedom – pull off one of the greatest heists of all time. Kay and Nix will need to navigate the underworld across the galaxy, building their reputation with legendary criminal organizations including the Pyke Syndicate, the Hutt Cartel, the Ashiga Clan and Crimson Dawn as they grow from street thieves to skilled outlaws.
Kay and Nix can turn any situation to their advantage: use stealth and gadgets to gain the upper hand, use Nix to distract and draw away enemies, or engage in blaster combat in tense situations throughout their journey. In order to pull off the ultimate heist, Kay and Nix will search for and join forces with a cast of outlaws, including battle-hardened droid ND-5 (Jay Rincon). While stealing valuable goods, infiltrating secret locations, and outwitting enemies, they will need to carefully consider how their choices affect their status with each syndicate, as each move will influence Kay’s ever-changing reputation.
To gain the right resources and crew for the ultimate heist, Kay and Nix will travel across the galaxy and experience distinct new and iconic locations: Canto Bight, Kijimi, Tatooine, Akiva, and the windswept savannah of Toshara. Along the way, Kay will explore bustling cities and cantinas, race across sprawling outdoor landscapes on her speeder, and pilot her ship, the Trailblazer, through the wilds of space. When things go awry, the Trailblazer will also help them chase, evade and attack to gain the upper hand in thrilling dogfights with the Empire and other foes.
