Kay Vess

Ubisoft has responded to the outcry over Star Wars Outlaws' Jabba the Hutt mission, which will be available at the game's launch only to owners of the game's pricey Gold or Ultimate Editions.

Ubisoft and developer Massive Entertainment haven’t spoken as much about Star Wars Outlaws’ space sections as they have about its many planets and moons and the gameplay opportunities they will present, but what little has been said so far has certainly indicated that the game’s grand scale and ambition will be reflected in the parts of its intergalactic map where protagonist Kay Vess will be piloting her ship, the Trailblazer.

Star Wars Outlaws’ promise of a vast map where players are able to seamless travel from open world planets and moons into outer space has been one of its more enticing aspects, but there’s still plenty yet that we don’t know about when it comes to what kind of content and gameplay opportunities the game’s space areas will bring. Developer Massive Entertainment has said that space in Star Wars Outlaws will be “full of things to do”– but what things exactly?

The classic card game Sabacc will finally be playable in Star Wars Outlaws, as revealed by the game’s ESRB rating. Ubisoft and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora developer Massive Entertainment announced that they were working on an open-world Star Wars game back in 2021, but it wasn’t until last June’s Xbox Games showcase that fans learned what it was going to be about. Star Wars Outlaws will put players in the role of Kay Vess, an aspiring outlaw looking to make her mark on the criminal underworld by pulling a massive heist against the rising Zerek Besh organization.

An unofficial Star Wars horror game has showed us what a zombie apocalypse would be like in a galaxy far, far away, and it's just as disturbing as you're expecting. 

Star Wars Outlaws will have an optional Ultrawide display to make it "one of the most cinematic games of all time."

Get your dealing hands ready, as Star Wars Outlaws will let us all participate in a round of Sabacc or two.

A spokesperson for Ubisoft addressed concerns over Star Wars Outlaws' controversial Jabba the Hutt DLC mission. Fans of a galaxy far, far away have rallied against the publisher for the price point of its Star Wars Outlaws special edition packages, which come with price tags ranging from $109.99 to $129.99. The community was particularly displeased with the reveal of an exclusive DLC mission for Jabba the Hutt, which will only be playable for users who purchased one of the special bundles or the season pass.

The ESRB rating for Star Wars Outlaws has arrived, and while it's largely what you'd expect from an action game in the sci-fi franchise, it has revealed one notable detail: Sabacc is finally going to be playable in a Star Wars video game.

Ubisoft confirms that buying the expensive Star Wars Outlaws special editions will not be the only way to experience Jabba the Hutt missions in the upcoming game. 

Following a mild-to-moderate outcry, Ubisoft have clarified that queasy worm gangster Jabba The Hutt isn't, in fact, a Star Wars Outlaws special edition or season pass exclusive. The apparently much-beloved star slug will appear in every edition of the game, but if you scrape together the credits for the Gold or Ultimate Editions, you'll get access to a Jabba's Gambit mission as part of the game's season pass.

Ubisoft's upcoming Star Wars Outlaws will lock an exclusive mission featuring Jabba the Hutt behind the Season Pass. While Star Wars fans were excited about the concept of an open world title set in A Galaxy Far Far Away, the latest information revealed for Outlaws has been controversial. Star Wars Outlaws takes place before Return of the Jedi, and places its players in the role of Kay Vess, an ambitious scoundrel and thief from Cantonica. However, despite being an entirely single-player experience, Ubisoft has designed Star Wars Outlaws as an always-online title, with a Season Pass that will offer players access to exclusive content.

Star Wars Outlaws is set to launch later this year, and beyond offering an open world to explore, it's also going to allow players to step into the shoes of a scoundrel named Kay Vess. Needless to say, it's shaping up to be quite a departure from the lightsaber-swinging action we're used to from the recent Star Wars Jedi games, but the creative director of Outlaws says that the idea of having Jedi at the forefront of the game "didn't even enter the picture."

Perhaps this should go without saying, but there's no need to drop £115 on Star Wars: Outlaws' expensive Ultimate Edition, which includes an «exclusive» mission with Jabba the Hutt.

Content surrounding one of ' most iconic villains may be locked behind a paywall. The open-world game from Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment is set to see a new character, Kay Vess, explore the criminal underworld as she attempts to build her reputation and carry out the biggest heist the Outer Rim has ever seen.

With Star Wars Outlaws, developer Massive Entertainment is looking to deliver the ultimate Star Wars scoundrel fantasy, which, of course, means protagonist Kay Vess (and her adorable companion Nix) will be crossing paths with a number of different factions, the majority of them being criminal syndicates.

Based on all that we’ve seen of Star Wars Outlaws so far, it’s clear that its Reputation system is going to be central to the experience. As protagonist Kay Vess navigates the Outer Rim’s criminal underworld and works with (and against) a variety of factions during the course of her journey, the decisions you make as the player will affect her standing with each of those factions– which, in turn, will have a variety of gameplay consequences, as you may have guessed.

Star Wars Outlaws has received an age classification from the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The timing of its ESRB rating's emergence is an encouraging sign for fans, as it indicates that Star Wars Outlaws is on course to release without any delays.

Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws features a $110 Gold Edition and a $130 Ultimate Edition, and some fans are not happy about what they are getting for those high prices. The more expensive editions of Star Wars Outlaws include premium benefits that have become commonplace in recent years.

continues a controversial trend that has become more prominent in recent years. Ubisoft recently revealed more about the upcoming AAA title's story, pre-order bonuses, and special editions, with a confirmed release date of August 30, 2024.

Ubisoft's upcoming game is making a major change to one of the publisher's most established tropes and players couldn't be relieved. Ever since the release of back in 2007, the concept of climbing towers and scanning the environment to reveal more areas has been a cliche in many open-world games to such an extent that it's become somewhat of a meme amongst players. Fortunately, the highly-anticipated game set in a galaxy far, far away is taking a different route and ditching the idea completely.

' latest story trailer has provided a greater look at Kay Vess' adventure, and the threats she'll be facing as she attempts to carry out the biggest heist the Outer Rim has ever seen. Along with a look at some of the allies she'll be working alongside — some of whom were already introduced in previous promotional footage — the story trailer introduced the game's main villains, and those who have read some of the recent Marvel comic arcs may recognize some of the names mentioned.

The recent release of the new Star Wars Outlaws trailer has sparked a heated debate among players regarding the appearance of the protagonist, Kay Vess, with some even describing her as «ugly.» While some players are expressing disappointment and criticism, others are defending the Star Wars Outlaws character's portrayal as refreshing and realistic.

If you haven't had the pleasure, Kay is a budding crook on the run from her underworld boss, a journey that sees her tangling with several other Star Wars crime syndicates on various planets. It really feels like they're keeping a lot of the headline Star Wars stuff at a respectful distance for this one: yes, Jabba the Hutt makes an appearance, but there's nary a whiff of The Force, Jedi or Sith in the trailer and not once does anybody build a Death Star.

Fans of a galaxy far, far away are finally getting the games they’ve always wanted.

Following ratings in South Korea and Australia, Massive Entertainment’s Star Wars Outlaws has been rated in Brazil. With Ubisoft announcing its next showcase for June 10th, it seems more likely than ever that a release date could be announced.

With being released later this year, the game is already being rated in some regions. Massive Entertainment's open-world adventure title will introduce a brand-new character, Kay Vess, as she explores the galaxy's criminal underworld, focusing on shady dealings with syndicates rather than the conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance that is often covered around this point in the franchise's timeline.

Yesterday, NVIDIA announced that Star Wars Outlaws, one of the year's most anticipated game releases, would support NVIDIA DLSS 3 and Reflex on PC at launch. The game will also integrate NVIDIA's RTX Direct Illumination alongside ray traced global illumination (RTGI) to offer what is being described as the most detailed Star Wars experience ever seen in a game, thanks to the combination of the Snowdrop Engine and NVIDIA's technologies:

Nvidia revealed in a blog post that Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws will be on GeForce Now and use some of its proprietary technology when it launches sometime this year.

Star Wars Outlaws will apparently be the "most detailed Star Wars experience you've ever seen," at least according to Nvidia.

In Ubisoft’s entire slate of upcoming games right now, it’s hard to point at any game that’s looking like it’s going to be a bigger deal than Massive Entertainment’s Star Wars Outlaws. How long it’ll be before Ubisoft begins dropping more details on the open world action-adventure game remains to be seen, but new tidbits have emerged on its PC version in particular.

Star Wars Outlaws is billed as the franchise’s first-ever open-world game. From the makers of The Division and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Outlaws tells a scoundrel story that explores the depths of Star Wars’ underworld between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

[Update] A few hours after teasing that Respawn is working on a Star Wars single-player experience that a lot of people have wanted for some time, Tom Henderson confirmed that it is a first-person Mandalorian game where players will take on the role of a Mandalorian bounty hunter when the galaxy was still ruled by the Empire.

Star Wars fans looking forward to Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws got an update to the game's release timing yesterday — and then didn't.

Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's expansive open-world game set in the galaxy far, far away, was briefly known to be eyeing a ‘late 2024' release window, as per a recent Disney Parks blog. That has since been corrected to reflect a general timespan this year, with the publisher confirming to Kotaku that the timing was incorrectly displayed. First revealed during an Xbox Showcase last year, the title is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi movies, and introduces Kay Vess, a space scoundrel with a bounty on her head after botching up a job. Joining her on the crusade is the adorable axolotl-like alien Nix, performing certain actions at your command — akin to the BD-1 droid from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Disney dropped a blog post today teasing what the House of Mouse has in store for fans across the next 12 months. Among the things the company reaffirmed was that Star Wars Outlaws is indeed coming this year.

A report stemming from a Disney Parks blog post earlier today suggested that the upcoming Ubisoft game would be coming out in late 2024. However, Ubisoft has since clarified the post in a statement.

For a brief period of time earlier today, it looked very much like Ubisoft's open-world heist game Star Wars Outlaws would be out sometime near the end of 2024. The word came by way of a Disney Parks blog post, and while it's not quite a specific date, it's definitely more precise than what we previously knew—that it's expected out sometime in 2024.

Are we in a golden patch for Star Wars games? It certainly feels like that could become the case, as Disney has sought to spread the franchise out from just films and animated shows to encompass a myriad of TV spin-offs, lesser told stories and video games. Star War Outlaws looks set to smash the epic space opera setting together with all things Ubisoft when it comes out in 2024.

If you were intrigued by Star Wars Outlaws, you might have been waiting on a release date. We knew Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment was working on this next big Star Wars game. However, we didn’t know exactly when the game would arrive. Instead, the developers, alongside Ubisoft, simply offered a generic 2024 launch window. Fortunately, we might have narrowed the release window for the game. However, it’s looking to be later this year, so you’ll have to wait a good while.
