Ubisoft recently premiered a new story trailer for Star Wars Outlaws, offering another look at Massive Entertainment’s upcoming open world action-adventure title, and confirming that it’ll be releasing this August. Alongside that, the company has also released a developer breakdown of the trailer, in which narrative director Navid Khavari sheds new light on some of the game’s key characters, the many underworld syndicates protagonist Kay Vess will be crossing paths with, and more.
Where the syndicates are confirmed, Ubisoft had previously revealed a number of factions for the game, including the Hutts and the Pykes, while with this newest trailer, several more have joined the list. There’s the Crimson Dawn, a name that fans of Solo: A Star Wars Story will be very familiar with, while there’s also the Ashiga Clan, a new syndicate made for the game from scratch. There’s also Zerek Besh, also a new syndicate, and its leader, Sliro.
Sliro is, incidentally, also the game’s central antagonist, it seems like. Early on in the game, Kay and her companion Nyx will enter Sliro’s bad books after a job gone wrong, following which she is headhunted by Jaylen, a fellow outlaw who serves as her mentor, and offers her a way out of her predicament- pulling of one of the galaxy’s biggest heists ever, one that will require her to break into Sliro’s heavily guarded mansion. Meanwhile, constantly on Kay’s tail will be Varl, a bounty hunter hired to kill her by Sliro.
In order to successfully undertake her mission, Kay will need an elite team of outlaws, as a result of which the game will see her travelling across the Outer Rim and trying to recruit other scoundrels to her cause. The actions that you take as Kay will also impact her reputation with different factions, which will impact everything from vendors and whether or not certain areas of the galaxy can be entered to how the story progresses.
