What brought them into enemy territory in the first place?
The masked, samurai-inspired Ashiga are a rough bunch and immediately start blasting.
Kay runs for cover behind a pillar but is pinned down by laser fire on all sides.
Han Solo has Chewbacca.
Lando Calrissian has L3-37.
So naturally, I had to ask the team at Ubisoft Massive all about creating Nix.
In fact, the loyal merqaal is a brand newStar Warsspecies making its debut inOutlaws.
We looked a lot at our pets, like how do they behave?
What kind of quirks do they have?
That was the inspiration for his movement and what we wanted out of this character.
He grew up on a planet that has very harsh weather, so [Nix] needs some protection.
Thats why he has those scales.
We looked at the axolotl.
[It] also adds a bit of alienness to him.
Nix is the heart and soul of Kay, narrative director Navid Khavari says.
Kay is a pretty untrusting person, and the crack in her armor is Nix.
She loves and adores this creature.
As Kay and Nix would probably say, its time to steal that file.
Star Wars Outlaws is out on Aug. 30 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
