Ubisoft has delivered on its promise by showcasing an extended gameplay trailer for Star Wars Outlaws during its Ubisoft Forward event. Building on the initial glimpse revealed at Microsoft’s Xbox and Starfield Showcase, the new footage provides an in-depth look at the highly anticipated game, captivating fans with its immersive open-world experience.
The 10-minute gameplay trailer takes viewers to the planet of Toshara, where the protagonist, Kay Vess, and her loyal companion, Nix, infiltrate a criminal syndicate facility. The footage highlights the seamless cooperation between Kay and Nix, as players witness the adorable Nix assisting Kay in navigating the environment while she skillfully dispatches enemies. In a nod to the iconic Han Solo, Kay is given the opportunity to “shoot first” if caught sneaking by a guard.
Combat in Star Wars Outlaws revolves around a blaster pistol that offers various ammunition types to counter different adversaries. For instance, enemies equipped with energy shields require a strategic approach. As the battles intensify, Nix retrieves blaster rifles dropped by fallen foes for Kay to utilize, although these weapons appear to have limited ammunition. The game not only allows players to explore on foot but also introduces speeder bikes for ground traversal and starships for aerial and space exploration, seamlessly transitioning between these elements without any loading screens.
Scheduled for release next year, Star Wars Outlaws will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Leading development for the project is Massive Entertainment, renowned for their work on The Division franchise. Supported by a consortium of Ubisoft’s first-party studios, the game showcases the collaborative efforts of the company’s talented teams. Powered by Massive Entertainment’s proprietary Snowdrop engine, Star Wars Outlaws boasts stunning visuals that elevate the immersive Star Wars universe to new heights.
The extensive gameplay trailer has undoubtedly heightened anticipation among fans, offering a glimpse into the vast and ambitious world of Star Wars Outlaws. Ubisoft’s dedication to crafting an open-world adventure set in the beloved Star Wars universe is evident, and the game promises to deliver an unforgettable experience. As development progresses, players can expect further updates and announcements, building excitement for what lies ahead in this epic Star Wars journey.
Stay tuned for more details on Star Wars Outlaws as Ubisoft continues to provide insights into the game’s development, ensuring that fans’ expectations are met with a thrilling and immersive Star Wars adventure like never before.
