"Set between the events of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Kay is looking to attempt one of the biggest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen, all in an effort to start a new life."
Creative director @jgerighty :
“It’s a dream come true to be able to collaborate with the team at Lucasfilm Games to create Star Wars Outlaws, the first open-world Star Wars game."
@jgerighty "Our team at Massive Entertainment has a great deal of experience in open-world games backed by strong technology, and it’s the perfect time to tell an original scoundrel story that will resonate with fans."
@jgerighty "With the Galactic Empire on the heels of the Rebel Alliance, and the criminal underworld thriving, an outlaw like Kay Vess has a whole galaxy of opportunity in front of her."
Star Wars Outlaws, releasing in 2024 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

"As the Galactic Empire relentlessly pursues the final defeat of the Rebel Alliance, the criminal underworld thrives."
It'll be like our new Shadows of the Empire. The underworld between ESB and ROTJ.
We even see Solo!
"Fans will play as cunning scoundrel, Kay Vess, brought to life by Humberly González, and her loyal companion Nix, played by Dee Bradley Baker (Star Wars: The Bad Batch), as they attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen."
"Seeking the means to start a new life, players will join Kay and Nix as they fight, steal, and outwit their way through the galaxy's crime syndicates and join the galaxy's most wanted."
We see Kijimi, for the 1st time in a big video game, and Tatooine. And some other planets.
I wonder how much "open world" this game is on each planet.
Where are you, Marshall?
If this game were our Shadows of the Empire, we could have our Dash Rendar. But it's a close cousin of Kyle Katarn who seems to be present :)
Heist on Kessel?
11 parsecs.
It's a time when the big Rebel fleet is about to attack the Death Star, in a few months. I hope there will be more different ships.
The hero ship -let's call it the Outlaw for now- reminds me of some design seen in recent SW comics. A small boxy transport that I can't wait to visit. Our space wagon.
Creative director @jgerighty : "When we first imagined the first open-world Star Wars game, we explored where and when it could take place, and quickly realized that we had all the right ingredients for the journey of a scoundrel. These outlaws live life under...”
@jgerighty "... under the thumb of the Galactic Empire, but can still thrive given the opportunities that the criminal underworld opens up for people looking to take advantage of the turmoil. The time is ripe for a new outlaw to make their name, and Kay Vess is written in the stars.”
@jgerighty The duality of landscape in key art suggests to me that there will be two main environments, including Kijimi. And detours (rip) to Tatooine and Cantonica.
We should know in a few hours.
