Star Wars Outlaws takes places on a number of planets both familiar to franchise fans and new for the open-world game, and Ubisoft says it chose which locations to explore based on what would best serve the story of protagonist Kay Vess.
"When crafting our story, we knew we wanted to allow players to explore some of the most iconic corners of the galaxy while also offering completely new and exotic locations for them to discover," creative director Julian Gerighty tells GamesRadar+. "Each of the locations featured in Star Wars Outlaws are crucial to Kay’s story which was really the starting point. Then we evaluated the locations based on their themes and gameplay opportunities they presented, ensuring each had a strong, thriving underworld that would offer unique and interesting situations for a new outlaw such as Kay."
