Star Wars Outlaws creative director Julian Gerighty has revealed new details for Ubisoft’s upcoming open world Star Wars game, Star Wars Outlaws via an interview with GamesRadar. The director detailed the size of the game’s “handcrafted” planets in comparison to other Ubisoft worlds like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. “It’s a crude analogy, but the size of one planet might be about [equivalent to] two of the zones in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey,” said Gerighty. He also stated that the protagonist Kay Vest is inspired by Han Solo. “When you think of a scoundrel, your mind goes to Han Solo, it goes to Lando, it goes to Indiana Jones, to James Bond, to Captain Jack Sparrow. It was the fantasy I connected with the most in the original [Star Wars] trilogy – as a kid, I was a much, much bigger fan of Han Solo and Chewbacca than any of the others.” Star Wars Outlaws will launch sometime in 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Star Wars Outlaws is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. In the game, players will control Kay Vess,”an emerging scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life, along with her companion Nix.”
