The more I learn about Star Wars Outlaws, the more it starts to sound something like a sci-fi Red Dead Redemption 2. We already know that the Outer Rim scoundrel Kay Vess's story takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi in terms of the Star Wars timeline, but the thing I'm finding most interesting is how reputation will affect your experience in "the most iconic corners of the galaxy" and those "new and exotic locations" alike.
Ubisoft Massive creative director Julian Gerighty says reputation is one way that Star Wars Outlaws allows players to find nuance in an otherwise focussed, tightly-written story. "As a scoundrel you live and die by your reputation, meaning that Kay will have to navigate the underworld and its various crime syndicates, making choices that will impact her reputation, her experience, and her support throughout the game." In short, it sounds like getting into a certain faction's good books might earn you another's ire, proving that no good deed or petty crime in a galaxy far, far away will go unpunished in this upcoming Star Wars game.
