Star Wars has a vibrant legacy in the medium of video games. Most of the games in the iconic space opera franchise have focused on Jedi fantasy, letting players wield lightsabers and become one with the force. But few have allowed players to become a Han Solo-like rogue: criminal smugglers who take on dangerous jobs and contracts. Star Wars Outlaws promises exactly that. Now, Ubisoft's upcoming action-adventure title, which puts players in the shoes of Scoundrel Kay Vess, has received a 10-minute long in-depth gameplay demo, detailing aerial and blaster combat, traversal and exploration , and much more.
Introducing the Star Wars Outlaws game
In the Ubisoft Forward broadcast on Monday, the publisher presented a gameplay sample of Star Wars Outlaws, which featured protagonist Kay Vess on a mission to Mos Eisley on Tatooine to track down a gunman. According to game director Mathias Karlson, players will have to explore the galaxy to find these experts who can help Kay gain new abilities. Tatooine's expert gunslinger would help him improve his blaster skills.
In the game's showcase, we see Kay take off from a merchant station in her ship, the Trailblazer, and travel through space. En route to Tatooine, he encounters pirate starfighters and engages in aerial combat. We then see Vess land in Mos Eisley, a hub of rascality and rascality. Her information leads her to a warehouse controlled by the Hutt Cartel. Scout the camp, sneak in and take down a few enemies silently. Find the necessary information and escape after participating in a shootout to meet the expert gunslinger.
Star Wars Outlaws Game Overview Trailer
Ubisoft also premiered a four-minute long gameplay overview trailer for Star Wars Outlaw at the launch. The new trailer looks at the past of Kay and her companion Nix, the adventures they have together, and the open world that players can explore.
The upcoming action-adventure title will feature a variety of biomes to explore, allowing players to interact with different environments and the dangers that come with them. Set during the golden age of the underworld, the game will allow players to deal with different crime syndicates and factions, gain favors or be wanted.
Promising to be an open-world adventure, Ubisoft's upcoming title is looking to carve its own space among a slew of popular Star Wars games. Recent games in the franchise, such as Respawn's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, have taken a melee action approach, bringing Soulslike mechanics to lightsaber combat. But a fully explorable open-world Star Wars game, with blaster and ship combat and an emphasis on exploration, could bring a different flavor to the franchise.
Star Wars Outlaws launches on August 30 on PC, Xbox Series S/X and PS5. Players will get three days of early access starting August 27 with a Ubisoft+ Premium subscription or by pre-ordering the Gold or Ultimate editions.
