Outlaws, yes, but up to a certain point: according to recent tests carried out by the international press, Star Wars Outlaws will not allow us to kill or rob civilians, as happens for example in the various chapters of Grand Theft Auto.
The protagonist of the adventure, Kay Vess, will therefore be a thief but… a gentlewoman, and will not dare to steal from the poor in order to obtain the resources necessary to improve her equipment or the equipment of her ship for the purposes of the missions.
Even as we work with crime syndicates across half the galaxy in an attempt to make a name for ourselves in the Outer Rim, we won’t be abandoning a strict code of honor and will only target the, uh, bad guys.
So no, beyond the title, the open world action game developed by Massive Entertainment will not take inspiration from experiences like Grand Theft Auto in terms of rules of conduct, limiting our freedom but… for the greater good.
We’ll get over it
Beyond this specific detail, it seems that the feelings surrounding the new Ubisoft game are rather positive, as also demonstrated by our hands-on review of Star Wars Outlaws, based on two different demos for a total of four hours of gameplay.
According to the article, the story, direction, atmosphere, structure and mechanics seem solid and contribute to building the picture of a very promising product, which could stand out among the Star Wars tie-ins.
At this point, all that remains is to wait for the official launch of Outlaws, set for August 30 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
