STAR WARS: OUTLAWS Will Let You Work For Jabba The Hutt and Betray Him if You Want
Ubisoft's open-world game Star Wars: Outlaws looks like it’s going to be a pretty awesome gaming experience. Since it was announced, more information is slowly being revealed about it, and in a recent report from IGN, it’s been shared that players will be about to work for the notorious gangster Jabba the Hutt. The game will also allow you to betray him if that’s something you want to do! The report said:
We'll also be spending a lot of time at Jabba's palace, it sounds like, running missions for the Hutt himself and navigating the criminal underworld he's at the center of. And yes, it's possible not just to work for Jabba, but also to betray him - which of course has its own set of consequences.
So, that will be fun! The planet of Tattooine, which is where Jabba resides, is going to be one of the main settings for the game, and when talking about it, director Julian Gerighty said:
"If you close your eyes and give people a choice to go anywhere in Tatooine? Mos Eisley. And specifically one watering hole in Mos Eisley. The opportunity is that you can see all the nooks and crannies. You can see all the things that are informed by the Lucasfilm archives. This concept of virtual tourism is important to us. If you’ve ever wondered the distances from the moisture farms to the cantina? We have an experience for you."
The story for the Star Wars game is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The game is being billed as the first ever open-world Star Wars game, and players will be able to explore distinct planets across the galaxy, both iconic and new. The story centers on a female character named Kay Vess, who is voiced by Humberly Gonzalez. Kay Vess is “an emerging scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life, along with her companion Nix. Fight, steal, and outwit your way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates as you join the galaxy’s most wanted.”
Star Wars: Outlaws will be released in 2024!
