Protagonist Kay Vess is going to be front and center Star Wars Outlaws and the classic scoundrel story it’s attempting to tell, but she isn’t going to be alone on her journey. Like so many other Star Wars stories, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment’s upcoming game is going to feature a loyal companion character who will constantly be by the protagonist’s side in Nix, someone we’ve already seen of quite a bit.
And with the game set to launch a little over a month from now, members of the Star Wars Outlaws development team have revealed more details on Nix and the process of bringing him to life in a new behind-the-scenes video published by IGN.
Nix is, of course, going to be a crucial part of the story, being the only living thing in the galaxy that Kay trusts, but he’ll also have an important role to play from a gameplay perspective as well, especially during stealth sections.
Meanwhile, in addition to discussing Nix’s gameplay uses, the behind-the-scenes video also talks about the process of creating him, and the things that Massive Entertainment took inspiration from, including pangolins and their own pets. Check out the video below for more details.
Star Wars Outlaws launches on August 30 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
