From Arcade Games to Betting on Fathier Racing, Star Wars Outlaws’ Open World Doesn’t Always Need Intense Combat to Keep Players Busy
Star Wars Outlaws gets a whole lot bigger with a recent showcase of its open world revealing several activities to keep newcomer Kay on her toes.
- Massive Entertainment's recent showcase of Star Wars Outlaws sheds light on an intricately designed open world.
- Each new area features tons of content and activities that are sure to keep players busy for a long time to come.
- Many activities blend in seamlessly with the narrative to deliver an organic, grounded experience.
With Star Wars Outlaws only a few days away from its release date, Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft are beginning to showcase more of the game’s mechanics, combat systems, and the manner in which its open world has been crafted from the ground up to deliver an organic experience for players looking forward to a new trek through galaxies far, far away.
Kay Vess’ adventures in her journey towards a life free of the Crime Syndicate’s abrasive influence are filled with a host of fun activities that are seemingly designed to distract her at every turn, utilizing Ubisoft’s past experience with creating titles that are full of mysteries to uncover and storylines to engage with.
A Star Wars Adventure Like No Other
Kay’s journey through five intricately designed main areas of the galaxy – with Tatooine set to appear among them – is sure to delight its players with a lot of well-designed side activities, like a couple of arcade games, contracts, and several others, which the team over at Massive Entertainment was only too happy to discuss in its video showcasing its work.
The open world is clearly a major draw for the title set between two of the most iconic films from the franchise that is set to bring in many familiar faces from the main story even as Kay brings a refreshing new perspective to the established lore.
While the game’s combat may not have received the reception that Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment were hoping for in earlier showcases, it is evident that Star Wars Outlaws has a lot to offer outside of taking the fight to the Empire and the Syndicate.
Pushing the Boundaries of Organic Exploration
The video’s focus on the open world sheds light on how Kay could pick up on key objectives, missions, and side quests by simply engaging with the world around her.
In an example of how Massive Entertainment has aimed to create an experience that feels narratively grounded and creatively well-implemented, Kay hears of an arms dealer by simply listening to two NPCs having a conversation at a bar.
With games of Sabacc set to make an appearance in the base game, it is evident that Massive Entertainment has a clear plan in place for its side content in Star Wars Outlaws, considering the appearance of one of the series’ most iconic characters in future DLC drops.
It is evident that Ubisoft’s expertise has been a major factor in designing the open world when its excellent work on titles like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is considered.
Both studios would certainly hope that Star Wars Outlaws manages to garner the critical and commercial acclaim that Odyssey achieved even as it stands out on its own as one of the most definitive Star Wars experiences that modern gaming can offer.
