The developers behind the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws just shared some insight into how the game’s Reputation system will shape Kay’s adventure across the Outer Rim.
Almost two years after Ubisoft and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora studio Massive Entertainment announced that it was working on an open-world Star Wars game, they officially revealed Star Wars Outlaws during last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase.
This crime caper will be set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and will put players in the role of an aspiring scoundrel trying to pull off the biggest heist in the history of the Star Wars criminal underworld.
To do this, Star Wars Outlaws protagonist Kay Vess and her allies will have to navigate said underworld, making deals and alliances with nefarious crime bosses like Jabba the Hutt across a mix of familiar Star Wars locations and brand-new worlds.
Kay can perform various missions for these leaders and their syndicates, building her reputation among them with every task she performs — all while staying one step ahead of any patrolling Imperial forces she may bump into along the way.
