Star Wars Outlaws Dev Details the Hive-Like Ashiga Clan
26.04.2024 - 12:37 / gamingbolt.com / Ubisoft
Star Wars Outlaws will task players with dealing with several different criminal syndicates at the same time, and while many of these – like the Hutts, the Pykes, and Crimson Dawn – will be familiar to fans of the property, the game will also be introducing things of its own creation into the Star Wars canon as well. There is, for instance, the Ashiga Clan, one of the criminal factions in the game, and in an article published by Game Informer, members of the game’s development team at Massive Entertainment have revealed more details on the newly created Syndicate.
Players will find the Ashiga Clan based on the planet of Kijimi, which was first introduced in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and according to associate narrative director John Björling, during the events of the game, the faction will be seeing some internal disagreements about its future.
“They have a long tradition and certain events in the recent history put them at a fork in the road where there are different ways they could go forward, and they’re not necessarily in agreement with what the best path forward is,” says Björling.
Described as a “hive” of the Melitto species (first introduced in The Force Awakens), as per Björling, the Ashiga Clan has “a long tradition” and “a strong hierarchy”, and its “ant-like” members tend to put the needs of the hive above their own personal needs. At the top of the faction’s hierarchy is their leader, Ashiga.
“You have these insectoid, humanoid, kind of very ant-like species and it’s taking that principle of, ‘What would a crime syndicate that is essentially operating like an anthill – what is that like?'” he says. “It’s a syndicate with a long tradition, they have a strong hierarchy, and there’s a lot about putting the hive before yourself. I think those aspects make it stand out as a unique kind of crime syndicate.”
Recent weeks have brought plenty of new details on Star Wars Outlaws, with Massive Entertainment detailing its space exploration and traversal, Reputation system, dynamic open world activities, and more. Earlier this month, Ubisoft also released a new story trailer for the open world title.
Star Wars Outlaws launches for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on August 30.

Assassin's Creed Mirage won't get story DLC, but the devs have "ideas on how we could extend the story of Basim"
As an Assassin's Creed girlie, I enjoyed Assassin's Creed Mirage, a pared down (but still big game, which is really just proof of how bloated AAA games have gotten, but I'll stop because it's not time to take my personal bugbear for a walk) Ass Creed game that was closer to the simplicity of the older games in the stab 'em up stealth-action series. Yesterday creative director Stéphane Boudon and art director Jeal-Luc Sala took to Reddit for an AMA, and in response to a question about plans for Mirage DLC, Boudon said no - but that they have ideas for more stories for Basim.

Star Wars Outlaws’ Spaceflight is “Accessible, Fun, and Action-Packed,” Director Says
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 Features Playable Sabacc
Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment are promising an expansive open world experience with the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws, which is being billed as the ultimate scoundrel fantasy, and though that will involve a lot of juggling of different criminal syndicates and maintaining your reputation with each different faction, that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find the time to sit down and, say, play some cards.
