Reputation plays a big role in Star Wars Outlaws.

Footage from the upcoming open-world adventure game Star Wars Outlaws were a literal and quality Monday Ubisoft Forward 2023 event. However, shortly after the event, a special video was released in which developers from Massive Entertainment break what we could actually see. Thanks to this, we have new bits of information about the next in-game journey to a galaxy far, far away.

If you liked Nyx, the animal companion of protagonist Kay Vess, you might be interested in the fact that Nyx is a member of the rare and exotic Merkwaal race.. The creators do not yet want to reveal what planet this race comes from, but they certainly do not spare ideas of what it can be used for. So Nyx can distract guards, attack on command, help with puzzles or uncover secrets, and we could see in gameplay footage that he has no problem retrieving the weapons of fallen enemies.

However, the most striking weapon is basic Kay blaster that will evolve with its owner as the game progresses. As you play, you’ll be able to unlock, upgrade, and use new modules to suit different situations. Although the developers emphasize that firearms in the hands of Kay Vess are not always the first or main solution to problems.

Sometimes you just have a chance to find a way out of a situation while they say there are no right or wrong answers during dialogue selection. Your decisions are simply meant to create your own story, although reputation should be kept in mind. She is speculated to play a big role in Star Wars: Outlaws. For example, if you take a job with a crime syndicate and something goes wrong, your reputation could be tarnished, making some options and opportunities unavailable.

Against a good relationship with the organization can lead to the most advantageous offers and opportunities. In general, various quests and services are a way to unlock new abilities and equipment, better rewards that can include credits or valuable artifacts, and the ability to influence how you are perceived by different factions and syndicates.

In addition, decisions during conversations can increase or decrease reputation, offer an advantage or a different perspective on the story, and determine how Kay approaches a counterparty or organization with which he does business. The developers wanted to emphasize that there is nothing black and white in the underworld, and this fact must be reflected in the electionswhich you will have when negotiating, bargaining and generally fulfilling orders.

Another element of the game that you should take into account is the Wanted Persons system.. From the looks of it, it will work similarly to the Grand Theft Auto series. It is ubiquitous and you can try it when you are caught doing something or when you are provoking the Empire. And if this happens, and you still make even more mess, the level of the wanted system will continue to grow, and the Empire will send stronger troops against you.

We do not yet know what exactly can come out at the highest level, but we expect a walking AT-ST as a kind of analogue of GTA tanks. After all, we could already see the AT-ST in one of the trailers. In every case there must always be some way to avoid or get rid of unwanted attentionI. Of course, one of those ways is to escape aboard the Pathfinder. This is something of a home for Kay, as he is a Republic-era EML 850 freighter.

Naturally, you can travel to different planets and moons aboard the Trailerblazer, and Massive Entertainment promises that every planet you visit will be something special, not only in terms of the plot, but also in terms of the fauna, the ecosystem, or the situations you might get into. In fact, each orbital region should look or feel different.

Even on the surface, there is often more than meets the eye. This also applies to the month of Toshara, which accounts for most of the previews recently presented. Until now, we could only see Giaunta’s Hope station and its surroundings. during the game we will be able to visit, for example, the capital of Mirogana. It is described as a city full of corruption and criminal activity.

Star Wars Outlaws Coming in 2024 for PC (Ubisoft Connect), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
