Ubisoft and Lucasfilm have released the first full trailer for Star Wars : Outlaws, including the release dates for the first open-world game set in the golden age of the Underworld not yet explored in the Star Wars universe.
“Star Wars Outlaws invites fans to experience a side of the galaxy that has a treasure trove yet to be explored, the exploits of the scoundrels taking advantage of the golden age of the underworld. We’ve been inspired by Massive Entertainment’s dedication to bringing this aspect of Star Wars to life, including both iconic and new things for fans to explore in an open world,” said Douglas Reilly, vice president, Lucasfilm Games.
Ubisoft revealed more details about scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix’s search for the opportunity of a lifetime. During this era, the Empire’s rule was distracted by the rebellion that wouldn’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 ever. Kay and Nix must navigate the underworld across the galaxy, building their reputation with legendary criminal organizations to garner the support they need to finish the job.
Kay and Nix will travel across the galaxy to gain the right resources and crew for the ultimate heist. In their journey, they’ll travel across distinct locations, both iconic and new: 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.
There is a huge history of Star Wars games; more recently, the Jedi Survivor games have dominated the industry, with two incredible games that were released with critical and commercial success. Outlaws will be the first open-world Star Wars game and the footage we have seen so far makes it look incredible.
Star Wars Outlaws will launch on August 30 on Xbox Series X|S consoles, PlayStation 5 and PC through Ubisoft Connect. Fans who subscribe to Ubisoft+ or purchase the Gold Edition or Ultimate Edition of the game hry up to three days early access, and if you pre-order before August 30, you will receive the “Kessel Runner Bonus Pack” which includes cosmetics for Kay’s speeder and ship.
