‘Star Wars Outlaws’ Trailer Unveils First Open-World Star Wars Game

Star Wars has had some pretty great video games over the years, but they’ve never had a truly open-world game. That is about to change with Ubi-Soft’s Star Wars Outlaws. In the new game, you won’t be a jedi, or someone on a high-minded path. You are a scoundrel who is just trying to navigate their way through the gangs and syndicates that control the planets around you. Fans will also be happy to know that the film is set in the middle of the action, during the period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Here’s what Julian Gerighty, Creative Director at Massive Entertainment, had to say about the game.

“When we first imagined the first open-world Star Wars game, we explored where and when it could take place, and quickly realized that we had all the right ingredients for the journey of a scoundrel. These outlaws live life under the thumb of the Galactic Empire, but can still thrive given the opportunities that the criminal underworld opens up for people looking to take advantage of the turmoil. The time is ripe for a new outlaw to make their name, and Kay Vess is written in the stars.”
