Ubisoft has finally unveiled its previously announced open-world Star Wars game from Massive Entertainment as Star Wars Outlaws, with a gameplay reveal set for tonight.
Despite Ubisoft hosting its own Ubisoft Forward event later today, it has been all over Summer Game Fest with Assassin's Creed Mirage showing up at the PlayStation Showcase, a new Prince of Persia game being revealed at the Summer Game Fest Opening Showcase, and now Star Wars Outlaws getting its grand reveal at last night's Xbox Showcase. While this is the first time we've seen Star Wars Outlaws, the title was actually announced over two years ago. Coming from Massive Entertainment – the studio behind Ubisoft's The Division series and the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the trailer introduced us to Kay Vess (played by Humberly González) a scoundrel akin to Han Solo who is doing everything in her power to take it to the Empire as she becomes one of the galaxy's most wanted. This is alongside her companion Nix (played by Dee Bradley Baker), a weird little creature who is set to join the great Glup Shittos like Salacious B. Crumb and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's Turgle.
