Ubisoft has announced Star Wars: Outlaws and, judging by the Star Wars nerds on the PCG team, it's made quite the impression. The game is an original tale about smuggler Kay Vess, set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and the devs are amping up the seedy Han Solo vibe they're going for. But as is almost de rigeur for the series these days, the scene-stealer was Vess' cutesy little companion called Nix.
Lord knows what Nix is. A dog-eyed Gizmo-looking thing with various hair fronds that seems adept at stealing things and, per the trailer, is Vess' constant companion with numerous in-game uses. It's obviously going to be a key part of Outlaws, and Ubisoft has sent over a press release with the news it will be voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, one of the most prolific voice actors in the world and a man who has voiced more Star Wars characters than anyone else (thanks, GamesRadar+).
