Attention Star Wars gamers! On April 10, 2024, Lucasfilm Games and Ubisoft unveiled two new trailers (including a detailed gameplay trailer) for Star Wars Outlaws at the Ubisoft Forward conference. And as good news never comes alone, Ubisoft also announced in a tweet on the game's official account a few weeks later, on July 3, 2024, that the game had gone gold (i.e., ready to be copied onto disc, for release in stores). Join us on August 30 to discover the adventures of thief and bounty hunter Kay Vess.
After Indiana Jones, Lucasfilm Games struck a new blow by announcing, along withUbisoft, the release of its new video game based on the saga. The game is being developed by Ubisoft Massive, known for The Division franchise and the Avatar saga.
Star Wars Outlaws takes place between the events of the iconic films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Players will embody a character named Kay Vess, an emerging anti-hero in search of freedom and the means to start a new life. Accompanied by his companion Nix, Kay will have to fight, steal and trick his way through the galaxy's crime syndicates, joining the ranks of the most wanted outlaws.
In terms of gameplay, Star Wars Outlaws literally sells the dream... Basically, the aim is to survive in an unforgiving galaxy as a renegade. Infiltration, intelligence, theft of objects of all kinds on behalf of syndicates... You won't be bored for a second, not to mention the heroine's reputation to uphold while avoiding bounties, as well as ship travel that should provide you with some great battles. As for the game engine, we learned some time ago that this Star Wars opus would run on Snowdrop Engine, owned byUbisoft Massive.
Ubisoft is delighted with this project:"The Star Wars galaxy is an incredible source of motivation for our teams to innovate and push the boundaries of our medium," says Yves Guillemot,Ubisoft's CEO. He continued:"Building new worlds, characters and stories that will become a lasting part of the Star Wars mythology is an incredible opportunity for us, and we're thrilled that our Ubisoft Massive studio is working closely with Lucasfilm Games to create an original Star Wars adventure unlike anything that's come before.
A new opportunity, come what may, to experience new adventures in a galaxy far, far away.
