Ubisoft and Lucasfilm Games have joined forces to create a thrilling new adventure for Star Wars enthusiasts. The upcoming game, Star Wars Outlaws, is set to take players on a journey through the galaxy's criminal underworld. Developed by Massive Entertainment, the studio behind popular titles like The Division 2 and The Crew 2, this open-world game promises to offer a mix of classic Star Wars elements and new creations on multiple planets. While there hasn't been much official news about the game since its announcement in 2021, rumors suggest that Project Helix (as it was known) could be released as early as 2024.
During the Xbox Games Showcase, Massive Entertainment unveiled a teaser trailer for the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws game, which is set to take place within the original movie trilogy. The trailer opens with an unnamed female protagonist playing Sabacc in a cantina, explaining how the galaxy is under the control of the Syndicates. However, her game is abruptly disrupted by the arrival of two bounty hunters, causing her and her feline-like companion to make a hasty retreat. As she escapes, a bar brawl ensues, and she ultimately speeds away on a bike, determined to break free from the constraints that have held her back. This leads her to Jalen, a stranger who offers to assist her with an unspecified mission and bears a resemblance to Kyle Katarn from the Dark Forces games.
The teaser trailer for Star Wars Outlaws showcases the unnamed heroine infiltrating Syndicate strongholds, engaging in action-packed battles on her swoop bike, and outmaneuvering the Empire in her ship. Although no gameplay footage was revealed, the trailer hints at a thrilling journey through the intricate and shadowy criminal underworld of the Star Wars universe, reminiscent of the previously unproduced Star Wars 1313. With a launch window of 2024, Star Wars Outlaws has the potential to fulfill fans' longstanding desire for an immersive exploration of the galaxy's criminal elements.
