Play Overview
Star Wars Outlaws is an open-world action-adventure about a smuggler attempting to pull off the galaxy's biggest heist. You explore vast planets, engage in shootouts and avoid detection on land and in space. It's the first Star Wars game to be this open at scale and works hard to build the world and narrative which can change dramatically depending on your actions.
Set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi films, when Han Solo is frozen in Carbonite and the galaxy's underworld is at its most powerful, you play the outlaw and smuggler Kay Vess. Along with her trusty companion, the dog-like alien Nix, and a reprogrammed battle droid, you attempt to pull off the biggest heist in history. You travel the galaxy, making friends and foes within the major crime syndicates, gathering information, forming alliances, and building your reputation to allow you to succeed in your mission.
Play involves exploring the vast open-world planets, interacting with characters you meet and completing missions. You infiltrate criminal hideouts and imperial facilities, using cover and Nix's distractions to get by guards unseen. When combat is unavoidable (whether on foot, in vehicles or spaceships) you use blasters and cannons to shoot enemies. Which of these battles you take on, and how you do, affects your reputation with different groups. This in turn can change the entire direction of the story.
The result is a Star Wars game where worlds and their inhabitants react to your choices in a richly detailed environment brimming with life and character. Choosing who you want to be and how you want to play makes for an expansive, immersive and engaging game.
