Despite a big focus on player choice, Star Wars Outlaws won't be offering multiple endings.
Earlier today on August 16, Game Informer published an interview with Navid Khavari, narrative director on Star Wars Outlaws at Ubisoft Massive. When directly asked how many endings Outlaws would offer, Khavari sort of sidestepped the question, revealing that every playthrough would offer variation via the game's reputation system, instead of multiple endings.
The story choices you make in Star Wars Outlaws affect reputation more than specific narrative beats. Don't expect multiple endings.You can read the full interview with the game's narrative director here. https://t.co/lyOTc0IvX9 pic.twitter.com/zKxgZsIw79August 16, 2023
"For us and Lucasfilm Games it’s all about authenticity, and we need to ensure that Kay’s story fits within the wider galaxy of Star Wars, so the ending itself we felt had certain key beats that it had to hit," Khavari said. "The variation does come through the reputation system, so every player will have a different profile of their reputation with the various syndicates throughout the game, and you’ll see that play out throughout the story."
This might come as a bit of a surprise to some out there looking forward to Outlaws. Khavari and other senior developers on the project have been heralding player choice in Outlaws since it was revealed earlier this year, talking up the fact that the decisions you make as protagonist Kay Vess effect the world around you and which factions you're allied with.
You can even betray Jabba the Hutt, if you're feeling bold enough. All this player choice might've lead some to believe there'd be multiple endings in Outlaws, but Khavari's comments make it seem like the game needed to have one definitive ending to fit into the overarching Star Wars universe. Set in between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Outlaws certainly has a finite space to work in.
Star Wars Outlaws launches next year in 2024 across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

When Bethesda Game Studios showed off a mech-like spaceship on the Starfield Direct and announced it had been made with the in-game builder, the imagination of countless fans immediately raced to the possibility of remaking countless spaceships seen in movies, TV, and other games.
Starfield fans are wasting no time bringing some of the sci-fi genre’s oldest and most beloved ships to Bethesda’s new space RPG.
Simon Kinberg grew up in what he calls the “golden age of science fiction,” when Star Wars, Terminator, Alien, and Blade Runner weren’t cross-media IP, but banger movies you got to watch on big screens. For Kinberg, growing up in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Westwood Village in the late 1970s and ’80s put him in skateboarding distance of a movie theater paying Return of the Jedi on constant rotation. He found himself waiting in line with hordes of people hungry to see again and again. His people.
Ahsoka has brought plenty of Star Wars characters from animation to live-action already, and the latest episode has continued the trend.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Star Wars? It’s pretty cool. That’s true for a lot of people, because whether or not you’re into the franchise’s current direction, it’s been around for so goddamn long that there is almost certainly an era, a comic, and/or a series of books or video games that speaks to your individual taste in genre fiction. It is simply hard to object to laser swords, space wizards, and starfighters on principle. It’s when you get specific that arguments can happen. Today, my specific argument (and I reserve the right to have a different one tomorrow) is that Star Wars’ Old Republic era kicks ass, and I’m a little bummed it’s mostly been abandoned.
Starfield is almost upon us, and it’s one of my most highly anticipated RPG games ever. From its expansive space setting to its sheer amount of build choices, Starfield looks like it’s going to be downright massive. Ahead of its upcoming launch, we got the chance to take an exclusive first look at the Starfield introduction at Gamescom. If you enjoyed Fallout or consider yourself a Star Wars fan, then we’ve got good news for you as the upcoming Bethesda game blends both.
Star Wars’ nineties first-person shooter Dark Forces is returning in a 4K-ified remaster from Nightdive Studios, the folks behind the recent System Shock remake. The upcoming Dark Forces Remaster will see its visuals bumped up to a crisp 4K, running at 120 frames per second, along with a number of quality-of-life improvements.
The Star Wars franchise has a long and venerable history when it comes to video games, and soon, one of the earliest and most beloved games based on George Lucas’ sci-fi universe will be reintroduced to modern audiences for the first time in high definition.
Nightdive Studios, the team behind the recently remastered classics System Shock and Quake 2, is at it again. Earlier today, the studio revealed its Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster, and needless to say there are a few excited members on the Eurogamer team.
