Enter Kay Vess, your outlaw protagonist. Forget wielding a lightsaber – in this game, you’ll be relying on your wits, cunning, and maybe a blaster or two, to survive. The official trailer hints at shady deals, thrilling chases, and intense shootouts as Kay navigates the criminal underworld.

Kay won’t be going it alone. By her side is Nix, a loyal furry companion who’s the perfect example of Star Wars’s amazing creature designs. You’ll also have ND-5, a trenchcoat-wearing commando droid with a mysterious past but a seriously cool Bladerunner vibe, to back you up.

With a vast open world to explore, a cast of intriguing characters, and a focus on action and exploration, Star Wars Outlaws promises an exciting adventure for Star Wars fans and newcomers alike. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the game’s launch in August!
