Yesterday, Ubisoft officially announced that its upcoming Star Wars: Outlaws will be released later this year on August 30th.
The trailer itself showcases multiple locations in the Star Wars universe, including the iconic Tatooine. It sees Vess brush shoulders with some heavyweights of the Star Wars canon, including Jabba the Hut himself. The trailer shows a ton of gameplay, with Vess slinking across buildings, stealthily taking out enemies, and even piloting starships in battle against the Empire itself.
It looks like a fun romp, and it’s great to see that it’s fast approaching later this year on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles. However, what’s not fun to see is the cost of some of the collector’s editions.
Meanwhile, regardless of how you purchased Star Wars Outlaws, you’ll need to make sure your internet connection is good to download it, even if you bought the physical discs for console. Spotted by Wario64 on Twitter (via Kotaku), Star Wars Outlaws is yet another game that requires an internet connection to install.
Either way, Star Wars Outlaws is looking rather excellent, and I can’t wait to learn more as we get closer. Star Wars games have seen something of a recent quality renaissance lately, as Outlaws grabs the torch from the most recent excellent entry in the canon, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
