Two story expansions released post-launch that expand the Star Wars Outlaws universe, introducing new characters, quests, missions, and more. – Exclusive access to the Jabba Gambit mission at launch, where Kay must complete a task for Jabba the Hutt to extricate her new companion, the elusive droid ND-5, from a precarious situation. –
Access to the Kessel Runner Character Pack, which offers Kay and Nix a selection of character designs that evoke a Han Solo-like aesthetic. Narrative of Star Wars Outlaws The narrative that drives the expansive adventures in Star Wars Outlaws places players in the shoes of Kay Vess, a down-and-out rogue in search of a significant heist that will finally grant her the peaceful life she has long sought.
Set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Kay, alongside her loyal partner Nix, must navigate the galaxy through combat, cunning, and theft, shifting allegiances among various criminal organizations while evading the watchful eye of the Galactic Empire in their quest for both freedom and wealth.
The on-foot sections of Star Wars Outlaws blend intense third-person combat, both ranged and melee, with cover-based shooting and the option for stealthy gameplay. Players can build relationships with the game’s four criminal factions, taking on unique missions that advance the story and unlock new skills and abilities for the protagonists, Kay and Nix.
When players land on a planet, they won’t always be on foot, as Kay’s customizable speeder not only provides quick transportation, but also serves as a heavily-armed vehicle to deal with hostile enemies. The Grand Theft Auto video game series is a popular and well-known franchise.
