Attention Star Wars gamers! On April 9, 2024, Lucasfilm Games and Ubisoft unveiled a brand-new trailer and release date for Star Wars Outlaws. 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 gave us a first glimpse at a Ubisoft Forward conference on June 12, 2023. 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.
