The Ultimate Battle: BD-1 vs Nix in the World of Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars: Outlaws introduces Nix, a lovable alien companion, who could potentially outshine BD-1 from Jedi: Fallen Order The newly-released gameplay trailer showcases Nix's charm and usefulness, making fans excited to see more of this adorable sidekick in action
During the Xbox Games Showcase, Ubisoft surprised everyone by revealing Star Wars: Outlaws, their highly anticipated open-world Star Wars game. This decision proved to be a smart move, as it not only strengthened the relationship between Ubisoft and Xbox, but also created excitement among fans for the game's upcoming showcase during Ubisoft Forward. And the showcase did not disappoint, with Star Wars: Outlaws stealing the show as the first truly open-world Star Wars game. Players will take on the role of Kay Vess, a smuggler, as she navigates the galaxy and plans a daring heist. While the gameplay trailer showcased ground and space combat, speeder chases, and other minor mechanics, the real standout was Kay Vess' adorable companion, Nix, who could give even BD-1 from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor a run for his money.
Star Wars: Outlaws' Nix Might Be a Better Companion Than BD-1
BD-1 stands out as one of the most beloved companions in the Star Wars universe. Like R2-D2 and BB-8, the droid communicates through beeps and bloops, but sets itself apart with its endearing dog-like head tilts and a personality that shines through in every interaction. As a companion in the Star Wars Jedi video game series, BD-1 offers fans the unique opportunity to directly interact with the droid throughout an epic 30+ hour adventure. Not only is BD-1 a charming and entertaining companion, but it also proves to be an invaluable asset to players, providing healing support and scanning the environment for crucial data.
The newest addition to the Star Wars universe, Nix, is a furry axolotl-like creature and the latest companion to smugglers in the game Star Wars: Outlaws. Despite his boisterous attitude, Nix clearly cares deeply for his partner, and players can expect him to be a major part of the gameplay. In the gameplay reveal trailer, Nix is seen helping the player in various ways such as distracting enemies, activating environmental objects, and fetching weapons while the player continues to fight. Nix's practicality in gameplay may even surpass that of BD-1.
Star Wars Outlaws is in development.
