Becoming the Ultimate Scoundrel in Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws is poised to immerse players in the rogue lifestyle within the expansive universe of Star Wars—a vision not yet fully realized by any previous game in the franchise. Massive Entertainment steps into an arena where others have stumbled; ambitious projects like Star Wars 1313 and Project Ragtag fell by the wayside amid industry upheavals. So, what lured the studio renowned for The Division series to craft a narrative-driven Star Wars game where your notoriety is as vital as your wealth?
Julian Gerighty, the creative director at GamesRadar+ and a seasoned Ubisoft director with titles like The Crew and The Division under his belt, shared that after wrapping up their recent projects, the team craved something distinctive—a standalone adventure, not a live service. The Star Wars IP presented a chance to fulfill childhood dreams.
Star Wars Outlaws is the intersection of ambition and nostalgia, presenting an original tale during the Rebellion era. It chronicles the journey of Kay Vess, a rookie outlaw undertaking a monumental heist in the Outer Rim, aiming to erase the price on her head. Touted by Ubisoft as the ‘first open-world Star Wars game,’ it might be more apt to liken it to ‘Red Dead Redemption amongst the cosmos’.
