No.22 of 24 Ooooh-Worthy Things happening at the House Of Mouse this year, apparently
There’s been no official word from Ubisoft themselves about Star Wars Outlaws' release date yet, but now the cat’s seemingly out of the bag on this one (or should that be mouse out of the house?) it’s probably only a matter of time before they, too, narrow down its launch window. I’ll update this post as and when that information comes through.
In any case, Star Wars Outlaws will likely be Ubisoft’s big holiday game for the year, which will see you step into the Hans Solo-esque shoes of Kay Vess, a daring rogue type who gets offered the heist of a lifetime along with her alien dog friend Nix and robot bud ND-5. Based on the gameplay trailer embedded above, it looks to have all the classic Star Wars staples: speeder bike chases, spaceship combat, and lots of pew pew shooting.
Honestly, I’m no great Star Wars head, but right now I’m quietly hopeful that it will be right up there with theStar Wars greats, or that it will be at least as entertaining as Respawn’s two Jedi games. Fingers crossed. It’s being made by the folks at Ubisoft Massive, who were more recently responsible for the so-soAvatar: Frontiers Of Pandoraand, of course,The Division.
With the release window narrowing in, hopefully it won’t be too long before we hear more about what the rest of Kay’s adventures will entail.
