Tonight yet another Star Wars game was revealed, this time coming from Lucasfilm (but they all come from them, technically) and Ubisoft.Star Wars Outlawsis, being an Ubi game, an open world adventure where you play as Kay Vess - the Han-Solo-but-a-girl I reference in my headline - and Kay’s best alien pal Nix “as they attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen.” Outlaws was revealed tonight at theXbox Games Showcasewith a trailer that had an extended opening metaphor bit about gambling that was trite enough for me to assume it was a trailer for theQuantic Dream Star Wars game. BUT. I do like the look of Outlaws (currently slated for 2024).

Elsewhere we have all the Star Wars hits: a rancor, spaceships, some kind of droid, looking through one of those boxy viewfinder things… There’s no actual footage of the game in action in this trailer, and I can only speculate that Nix, who is one of those little guys who looks like a dog crossed with an axolotl, will be able to climb stuff or go through little holes or what have you. But I won’t have to speculate for long, because more will be shown at Ubisoft Forward (which is on from 6pm BST/10am PST tomorrow).
