Star Wars Outlaws goes open world this August with multiple editions and early access | TheXboxHub

For many, it’s set to be the open world Star Wars game they have been craving. For others, the opportunity to utilise the Force will be strong. Whatever, Ubisoft have now confirmed that Star Wars Outlaws will be releasing this coming August – and it’ll be doing so with various multiple editions and early access in place. 

In collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, Ubisoft have confirmed that Star Wars Outlaws will be releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Amazon Luna and PC through Ubisoft Connect on August 30th 2024.

However, as is very much now industry standard (especially for a Ubisoft game), there’s the chance to get in some 3 days early, all by purchasing the Gold or Ultimate Edition of the game. Get that cash down by release date and you’ll receive the “Kessel Runner Bonus Pack” which includes cosmetics for Kay’s speeder and for her ship, the Trailblazer.

What is Star Wars Outlaws?

Ubisoft have also revealed more details about the protagonists in Outlaws, in particular the cunning scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix’s search for an opportunity of a lifetime. During this era, the Empire’s rule is distracted by the rebellion that won’t quit, leading to a golden age for the underworld. As a skilled thief, Kay’s antics catch the attention of Sliro, the leader of a new, foreboding criminal syndicate Zerek Besh. After Sliro places a bounty on Kay’s head, Kay and Nix are offered their one shot at freedom – pull off one of the greatest heists of all time. Kay and Nix will need to navigate the underworld across the galaxy, building their reputation with legendary criminal organizations including the Pyke Syndicate, the Hutt Cartel, the Ashiga Clan and Crimson Dawn to earn the support they need to finish the job. 

Kay and Nix will travel across the galaxy to gain the right resources and crew for the ultimate heist. In their journey, they’ll travel across distinct locations, both iconic and new: Canto Bight, Kijimi, Tatooine, Akiva, and the windswept savannah of Toshara. Along the way, Kay will explore bustling cities and cantinas, race across sprawling outdoor landscapes on her speeder, and pilot her ship the Trailblazer through the wilds of space. When things go awry, the Trailblazer will also help them chase, evade and attack to gain the upper hand in thrilling dogfights with the Empire and other foes. 

The devs speak

 “In search of true freedom, the resourceful Kay and Nix will journey through the underworld and across the Outer Rim, taking on jobs from syndicates, facing off against intimidating foes, avoiding oppressive Imperial rule and recruiting a skilled outlaw crew in order to pull off one of the greatest heists the galaxy has ever seen,” shared Julian Gerighty, Creative Director. 

“Star Wars Outlaws invites fans to experience a side of the galaxy that has a treasure trove yet to be explored, the exploits of the scoundrels taking advantage of the golden age of the underworld. We’ve been inspired by Massive Entertainment’s dedication to bringing this aspect of Star Wars to life, including both iconic and new things for fans to explore in an open world,” said Douglas Reilly, vice president, Lucasfilm Games.
