Now, the long-coveted open-worldStar Warsgame is finally here.
It was a virtually seamless experience from point A to B that felt immersive and exciting.
(Its calledOutlaws, after all.)
In fact, all but one of the criminal organizations in the game are from pastStar Warsstories.
How did the team at Massive keep track of all of the details?
Hopefully the proof is in the spotchka.
Thats the beauty of an open world.
Kay will face the Empire throughout the game.
But unlike Han Solo, this scoundrel is no freedom fighter.
Kays like, [The war is] deciding our destinies.
Thats something all of us are drawn to, that idea of freedom.
That feeling was a primary motivator for her journey.
Kay has a hairpin that she can lockpick doors with.
Siccing Nix on people was the very best part of our demo.
Nix is the heart and soul of Kay, Khavari says.
Kay is a pretty untrusting person, and the crack in her armor is Nix.
She loves and adores this creature.
Nix hails from a stormy jungle planet and so his design had to reflect the harsh conditions.
They cant all be Nix.
But Kay doesnt know their history, which allowed Massive to explore these characters through a fresh perspective.
Or what happens if you have no idea who Qira is?
Whats that conversation like?
Khavari says, teasing that theres a really interesting dynamic between Qira and Kay.
He has gambled too much and lost his moisture farm.
Outlawsisnt the firstStar Warsgame set betweenEmpireandJedi.
In the 90s,Shadows of the Empirewas the first story to explore this specific era.
Was that on purpose?
We looked at absolutely everything, Khavari says coyly.
Star Wars Outlaws is out on Aug. 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
