10 Minutes of Scoundrel Wish Fulfilment in ‘Star Wars Outlaws’ Gameplay Trailer
During Microsoft’s Xbox and Starfield Showcase, Ubisoft provided a sneak peek of Star Wars Outlaws and assured viewers that an extended gameplay trailer would be presented during the Ubisoft Forward event the following day. The company fulfilled its promise by showcasing a 10-minute video that provides a thorough overview of the highly anticipated game.
The clip begins on the planet Toshara, with protagonist Kay Vess and her trusty companion Nix sneaking through a crime syndicate facility. Kay can summon the adorable Nix to help her traverse the environment while she takes care of knocking out enemies. If a guard catches her sneaking, Kay has a moment where, like pre-1997 Han Solo, she can shoot first. When things go haywire, combat revolves around a burst pistol with a handful of different types of ammo. For example, there are enemies with energy shields. In the heat of battle, Nix can make Kay use beam rifles dropped by enemies, although they seem to have limited ammo. Star Wars Outlaws doesn’t limit you to walking everywhere on foot. You can traverse the game world on a speeder bike and even take to the sky and space on a starship with seemingly no loading between the different elements of the game.
Star Wars Outlaws will be available next year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Massive Entertainment, best known for their work on The Division franchise, is leading the development of the project, and it looks like ends of which, Ubisoft’s entire stable of first-party studios is on hand to support. The game runs on Massive’s own Snowdrop engine and looks amazing as a result.
