Star Wars Outlaws is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. Set in the Star Wars universe between the events of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), the story follows Kay Vess, a young scoundrel who assembles a team for a massive heist in order to pay off a crime syndicate. The game is played from a third-person perspective, with the player traversing an open world environment and engaging in various activities.

The development team, supported by Lucasfilm Games and ten other Ubisoft studios, sought to combine canonical elements of the Star Wars universe with their own ideas, focusing on creating cinematic and seamless gameplay. Humberly González provided the motion capture and voice for Kay, while Dee Bradley Baker voiced her companion, Nix. Star Wars Outlaws is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S in August 2024. Star Wars Outlaws is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. The player controls the scoundrel Kay Vess, traversing open world environment on planets and in space while engaging in various activities. Combat combines melee attacks and the use of a blaster, which has several firing modes, including an electromagnetic pulse. Kay can utilize environmental objects, such as explosive barrels, to her advantage. She can also use stealth to sneak past or neutralize enemies. Kay's arsenal includes a grappling hook and an electronic hacking device.[8] Her companion, a small creature named Nix, can scan the environment, interact with objects, and distract or attack enemies.

The player traverses planetary surfaces on a speeder bike and travels between planets aboard a starship called the Trailblazer.[3] The player can also explore the orbits of planets and moons,[11] as well as engage in space combat using the ship's weapons, including a laser cannon and missiles.[12]: 84  Space stations provide hubs for trade and additional missions.[11] By completing game activities, the player earn credits that can be used to purchase customization items and gear.[1] As the game progresses, the player can upgrade Kay and Nix's abilities, along with enhancements for the blaster, speeder, and Trailblazer.[13] The player can acquire new skills and upgrades by seeking out experts and completing their assignments.[1]

In Outlaws, the player encounters four syndicates: the Ashiga Clan, Crimson Dawn, Hutt Cartel, and Pyke Syndicate.[14] Completing assignments for these syndicates influences Kay's reputation with each.[15] A high faction reputation grants access to territories, assignments, contracts, and discounts in faction shops. Conversely, a low reputation may result in syndicates dispatching mercenaries to pursue Kay.[16] The player's decisions and actions throughout the game directly impact Kay's reputation.[15] The game features a six-level wanted system that determines the intensity of Imperial forces' pursuit of Kay for committing crimes.[17] The player can evade pursuit by hiding, bribing, or eliminating enemies.[1][18] Additionally, the game features dialogue tree with answer choices that affect mission outcomes.[19]
