Ubisoft has announced that our next look at Star Wars Outlaws will take place this week. The publisher confirmed that the world premiere of the Star Wars Outlaws story trailer will debut on Tuesday, April 9.
Those eager to learn more about the upcoming Star Wars game and the story involving Kay Vess will want to tune in to YouTube for the trailer's premiere.
Star Wars Outlaws was first revealed last summer, but since then, not much has been shared about the game. But with the Summer Game Fest quickly approaching, more details should be on the horizon.
Developed by Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft in partnership with Lucasfilm Games, Star Wars Outlaws is the first-ever open-world Star Wars game. It's set between the events of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and follows the adventures of Kay Vess, a clever scoundrel in the galactic underworld.
Looking for a fresh start, Kay meets the mysterious Jaylen and is offered a way out of her current lifestyle -- but first, she and her loyal companion Nix must attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen.
As an open-world action RPG, players will embark on an adventure that takes them across the galaxy -- to Star Wars locations both old and new. The game will feature a mix of signature Star Wars combat, ranging from space dog fights to high-risk, high-reward missions. And the decisions you make as Kay will impact her reputation across the galaxy.
In the initial announcement, Ubisoft wrote of the upcoming game:
Kay and Nix will explore sprawling landscapes of Star Wars locations both old and new. Kay will race across the humid jungles of Akiva and the windswept savannah of Toshara on her speeder, then jump into the pilot seat of her ship, the Trailblazer, to travel to other parts of the galaxy. From dogfights to high-risk, high-reward missions from crime syndicates, the choices Kay makes can influence her ever-changing reputation. When Kay and Nix find themselves in a sticky situation, she’ll have her trusty blaster, can employ stealth and gadgets, or wait for the right moment to distract enemies. You can watch the official gameplay walkthrough trailer below!
Star Wars Outlaws is set for release sometime in 2024 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. It's unlikely that the upcoming trailer will provide a release date. For that, you'll likely have to tune into Ubisoft Forward this summer. In the meantime, keep it tuned to GameFragger and bookmark this page for the trailer's premiere on April 9.
