A New Chapter in the Star Wars Saga

“Star Wars Outlaws” promises to deliver the first true single-player open-world Star Wars experience, powered by Ubisoft Massive’s Snowdrop Engine. The game boasts cutting-edge technology, including NVIDIA DLSS 3 and RTX Direct Illumination/RTGi support on PC, setting the stage for an immersive and visually stunning adventure. Players will step into the boots of Kay Vess, an outlaw scoundrel navigating the thriving underworld of the galaxy during a tumultuous period.

Seamless Transitions and Galactic Exploration

One of the game’s most touted features is the seamless transition from ground to space, allowing players to walk out of a cantina and directly into their ship, the Trailbrazer, an EML 850 light freighter from the Republic era, to engage in space exploration and combat. The galaxy promises to be a dangerous place, filled with intimate dogfights, large-scale battles, and opportunities for discovery across distinct planets, each with its unique stories, wildlife, ecosystems, and challenges.

Making Your Mark as an Outlaw

As Kay Vess, players will navigate a complex web of jobs and favors from various characters and factions, impacting their reputation and unlocking new equipment and abilities. The game emphasizes player choice, enabling gamers to carve their own paths and reputations in the Star Wars universe. Additionally, a wanted system will introduce dynamic interactions with the Empire, challenging players to strategize their way out of tight situations or face increased resistance.
