Massive Entertainment's upcoming open-world shooter will receive even more gameplay at the next Ubisoft Forward on June 10th.
Some brief comparisons with Ray Reconstruction turned off and on highlight the more natural lighting that the technology provides.
Players will go up against the Empire as part of the open world game's Wanted system, developer Massive Entertainment has previously confirmed.
Ubisoft will also provide updates on Rainbow Six Mobile, The Division Resurgence and XDefiant at its June 10th showcase.
The various factions and gangs in Star Wars Outlaws all play into the game's ambitious reputation system.
Created from scratch for Star Wars Outlaws, the Ashiga Clan is described as a crime syndicate with "a long tradition" and "a strong hierarchy."
While in space, players can also respond to emergency signals from other vessels in combat looking for support.
There's "always something to do" in space, with controls that are "extremely easy to get into", according to creative director Julian Gerighty.
Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment have revealed a host of new details on their upcoming open world game.
The iconic in-universe card game will be fully playable in Star Wars Outlaws, the open world game's ESRB listing has revealed.
It says the mission is "optional" and that the crime boss and cartel are part of the experience for everyone "regardless of edition."
"Every planet, we wanted to have an orbit around it with lots of different points of interest, things to do, battles to get in, places to explore," says Julian Gerighty.
Players will have to contend with Empire checkpoints, skirmishes between different factions, ambushes, and more.
Budding scoundrel Kay Vess and her companion Nix will butt heads with a number of different factions in Star Wars Outlaws.
Creative director Julian Gerighty explains how Kay's reputation with all syndicates will affect your experience in Star Wars Outlaws.
The upcoming action-adventure game won't make you climb towers to unlock parts of the map, unlike most other Ubisoft games.
"What we wanted to do is to have something that is very dense in activities rather than super expansive where you get lost," says creative director Julian Gerighty.
A number of key Star Wars characters will be appearing in Outlaws, including one who hasn't been seen since 2017's Han Solo-focused film.
Though the game can be played offline, physical copies will still need to connect to the internet in order to install it.
The open world title will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on August 30, Ubisoft confirmed earlier today.
