Anticipation Builds for Star Wars Outlaws as Leaked Gameplay Offers First Look

Recently, intriguing new details have emerged about Ubisoft's anticipated game, Star Wars Outlaws, an open-world adventure set in the Star Wars universe.

Thirteen minutes of gameplay footage surfaced online earlier today, seemingly showing the beginning stages of Ubisoft's fresh entry into the Star Wars franchise. Despite being promptly removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim by Ubisoft, alternative uploads have made the footage accessible again to those who seek it out.

The leaked gameplay footage provides a glimpse into the game's opening sequence, where the protagonist, Kay Vess, awakens aboard her ship accompanied by a charming creature named Nix. Following this, she finds herself in a confrontation with some local Toshara bandits, and after navigating through this skirmish, she speeds off the planet on a speeder bike, engaging in a high-stakes shootout with more bandits.

The journey continues as Kay makes her way to the bustling town of Mirogana, which is under Imperial control. She navigates past a Stormtrooper checkpoint to reach a cantina and establish contact with some covert allies. The gameplay showcases various tutorials, covering aspects such as Kay's stamina in combat and lockpicking skills required to access new parts of the map like vents.

In addition to the leaked footage, Twitter contains snippets of what appears to be a separate gameplay leak. This leak highlights Kay participating in Sabbac, a gambling minigame. In this game, participants receive two cards and need to strategically utilize chips to improve their hands. The player who ends up with a numbered Sabbac card pair closest to zero wins the round, while maintaining a stock of chips determines the overall winner.

Enthusiasts of the franchise should save the date for August 30, as that’s when Star Wars Outlaws will be launched on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. For more insights, one can explore an extensive preview that delves into how Ubisoft Massive has intricately woven together the stories of Kay and Nix within the open-world setting.

The crafting of Kay’s sidearm in Star Wars Outlaws was a meticulous process. Ubisoft aimed to create an iconic blaster, ensuring it delivers a complete and engaging shooting experience.
