Star Wars Outlaws: A Sci-Fi Red Dead Redemption 2 in the Making?
Big in 2024 Ubisoft Massive Discusses How Star Wars Outlaws Brings Nuance to a Limited Setting
Star Wars Outlaws takes you on a thrilling journey through various locations, each with its own vibrant underworld. However, be warned, your reputation can make or break your adventure.
The more I learn about Star Wars Outlaws, the upcoming game by Ubisoft Massive, the more it starts to sound like a sci-fi version of Red Dead Redemption 2. Set in the Star Wars universe, the game follows the story of Kay Vess, a scoundrel navigating the underworld and its various crime syndicates. What’s intriguing is how reputation will play a crucial role in the game, affecting your experience in both familiar and exotic locations of the galaxy.
Reputation is Everything
In Star Wars Outlaws, your reputation will determine your path. As a scoundrel, Kay Vess will have to make choices that impact her reputation, experience, and support throughout the game. Ubisoft Massive’s creative director, Julian Gerighty, emphasizes that reputation will be a key element, stating that “no good deed or petty crime in a galaxy far, far away will go unpunished.” Joining the good books of one faction might earn you the wrath of another, making for an intricate web of consequences.
It’s refreshing to see Ubisoft Massive embracing reputation systems as a substantial part of storytelling in Star Wars Outlaws. If executed well, the game could stand alongside the greats in crafting a well-written story that remains dynamic and changeable, even if the overarching narrative is headed in a certain direction.
Law and Fallen Order
Ubisoft Massive is being refreshingly transparent about Star Wars Outlaws, unlike some previous games that touted multiple endings but failed to deliver. Similar to Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, this game will have only one ending, a deliberate choice to fit into the franchise’s canon. As someone who was disappointed by false promises of multiple endings in other games, this revelation is a huge relief.
Star Wars Outlaws aims to offer a different kind of player agency, one that doesn’t rely on branching narratives but rather on the consequences of your actions. The game’s crime and pursuit system sounds more in line with titles like Bully and the Grand Theft Auto series, where your choices as an underhand scoundrel have tangible repercussions within the criminal underworld. It’s a refreshing departure from the typical good or evil morality systems found in many games, providing a deeper and more reactive world.

Situationship
One of the intriguing aspects of Star Wars Outlaws is the game’s “wanted” system. As a scoundrel and outlaw, Kay Vess might find herself hunted across the vast galaxy by various space gangs. The game’s setting and location play a crucial role in its storytelling, with Ubisoft Massive carefully selecting locations that are crucial to Kay’s story. Each location will offer unique experiences, biomes, and stories, contributing to a greater sense of immersion.
Even if small choices in games don’t lead to multiple endings, they can still grant players the freedom to explore diverse locations and set pieces. Star Wars Outlaws seems to promise just that, allowing players to shape Kay Vess as an honorable scoundrel or a notorious menace on the run from every syndicate in town.
