Star Wars Outlaws

Star Wars Outlaws is an upcoming action-adventure game set in the Star Wars universe developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft under license by Lucasfilm Games. The game takes place during the period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and is set to be released in 2024. Gameplay Star Wars Outlaws is a single-player, third person action-adventure game set in the Star Wars universe. Set in an open world, the game will feature stealth and open combat, vehicle combat, space combat, and branching dialogue. Set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, players take control of outlaw scoundrel Kay Vess (portrayed by Humberly González) and her companion Nix (portrayed by Dee Bradley Baker) as they "attempt one of the biggest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen". Kay will travel to a variety of planets across the Star Wars universe, including a number previously featured in continuity such as Tatooine, Kijimi and Akiva, as well as at least one original planet created for the game, the moon of Toshara, which is inspired by the landscape of the Tanzania Savannah.
