Experience the First Look at Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws Gameplay
Today, Ubisoft unveiled an in-depth look at Star Wars Outlaws, a game first teased during the Xbox showcase a day earlier. This new insight showcases the protagonist, smuggler Kay Vess, navigating her way through a vast universe filled with danger and intrigue. Let’s dive into the details of the trailer.
The preview kicks off with Kay finding herself in a precarious situation. While she swiftly incapacitates one guard using her gun’s handle, three others await her. To deal with them, she relies on her axolotl-inspired ally, Nix, for a diversion. The game’s U.I. presents Kay with multiple attack options on the guards, but she opts for Nix to activate a switch, prompting a crate to move and provide cover. It’s thrilling to witness such a sidekick playing a crucial role beyond just being an endearing companion.
Kay’s cover doesn’t last long, as she’s soon detected and forced to fend off approaching threats. She battles several alien adversaries, taking cover and strategically shooting explosive red barrels for added chaos. At a certain juncture, she tweaks her blaster’s settings from “blast” to “focused” to neutralize a protective shield. Once she’s cleared her immediate vicinity, she leaps onto her speeder, leading us into a heart-racing chase sequence.
Later, inside a cantina, Kay confronts an imperial officer. Players are faced with a choice: bribe the officer or devise their own escape plan. The demo’s player opts to retain their funds, drawing a weapon on the officer and making a hasty exit. In no time, Kay’s image saturates every surrounding screen, underscored by the menacing “Wanted” sign highlighted in a glaring red border. Without missing a beat, Kay sprints to her spacecraft, making her escape into the vast expanse of space.
The action continues unabated. Shortly after her escape, Kay’s ship is ambushed, forcing her into a thrilling aerial skirmish with a swarm of Tie fighters patrolling the nearby space. The iconic Star Wars laser sounds resonate throughout, and the HUD displays a variety of weapon options and a hyperdrive activation button. Seizing the moment, Kay activates the hyperdrive, propelling her out of the immediate threat — at least temporarily.
In summary, Star Wars Outlaws promises to be a standout, reminiscent of the adventurous Han Solo compared to Jedi Survivor’s more stoic Luke Skywalker. If you wish to revisit the cinematic trailer introduced yesterday, look no further – we have it right here for you.
