Ubisoft's upcoming video game Star Wars Outlaws will send players on a galactic adventure as they attempt to navigate the seedy underbelly of the galaxy far, far away.
While the game features an original story that follows a brand new character, Kay Vess, players will travel to familiar (and new) planets while dealing with legendary criminal organizations such as the Pyke Syndicate, the Hutt Cartel, and the Crimson Dawn. The recent story trailer for Star Wars Outlaws also mentioned a fourth faction, the Ashiga Clan.
The Ashiga Clan is an all-new faction that has been created by Massive Entertainment in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games specifically for Star Wars Outlaws. The trailer didn't elaborate too much on this new syndicate, but GameInformer (via GameFragger) recently visited Massive Entertainment to learn about this new crime syndicate.

Star Wars Outlaws will not be like any previous game that is set in a galaxy far, far away and it doesn’t share the DNA of EA and Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi games. Players will take on the role of Kay Vess and explore the criminal underworld during the Galactic Civil War.
The game has the advantage and disadvantage of a looming shadow from the films, players will have certain expectations and the team behind it is leaning towards one specific film for reference.
Ubisoft Creative Director Reveals Which Films Inspired Star Wars Outlaws Star Wars Outlaws will take inspiration from several films from the original Star Wars trilogy.

Ubisoft’s single-player Star Wars Outlaws will have a season pass, meaning players will have to pay more money to unlock a Jabba the Hutt mission.
Despite being a single-player affair, Ubisoft’s much-anticipated action sandbox Star Wars Outlaws will have a season pass. This is, as you’re probably aware, a polite term meaning that extra stuff is locked away behind a paywall.
In the case of Star Wars Outlaws, this extra stuff includes a mission featuring Jabba the Hutt – a character whose presence in the game has been heavily trailed since it was revealed last year.
On Ubisoft’s website, it plainly states that certain elements of the game – most prominently the Jabba’s Gambit mission – will only be accessible at launch for customers who buy the more expensive Gold or Ultimate editions. These cost £104.99 and £119.99 respectively.

The Star Wars franchise consists of countless stories that stretch across an expansive timeline. Many narratives take place in different “years,” though it’s often easier to organize that timeline by putting it in the context of the various Star Wars movies. So far as that goes, few pieces of the Star Wars timeline have been explored as often (or as thoroughly) as the events surrounding the original trilogy of films.
So while it’s no surprise that developer Massive Entertainment is returning to the original trilogy for their upcoming Star Wars open-world title (Star Wars Outlaws), it’s a little surprising that they found a part of that particular timeline that we don’t see very often in modern Star Wars media.
Star Wars Outlaws is Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars project. In that game, players will control Kay Vess, a “scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life.

A true open-world Star Wars game has been a long time coming, but Ubisoft Massive finally seems set to deliver. Star Wars Outlaws sees players take on the role of charming scoundrel Kay Vess as she navigates the criminal underworld in the year between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and attempts “one of the biggest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen,” according to StarWars.com.
A gameplay demo released during this week’s Ubisoft Forward conference gave fans a taste of what they can expect from Kay’s adventure. The walkthrough showed Kay employing stealth tactics to steal something from a rival gang before all hell broke loose. Kay can use her trusty blaster to take down the bad guys, including with a Focus mode that allows her to target multiple enemies at once. The latter mechanic comes in particularly handy while she’s making...

Fans are interested in a single-player campaign for The Division 2, but does that mean we could get one?
Something funny happened this weekend when Tim Spencer (the level director for Tt Games) tweeted out that he'd love to see a single-player version of The Division 2.
"I love the idea of a single player narrative driven spin-off of The Division," wrote Spencer. "Focusing on an agent trying to get home to their family after being sent to NYC, during the Shd blackout from the fall of DC. Tlou x Division."
Spencer goes on to say theorize what such a game may look like by noting that "none of the stories have explored what a Division agent sacrifices, and what they go through mentally." He even stated that he "sat here in a burrito restaurant" and thought about writing down "all the epic stories our agent could have, in chapters,...
