The Outlook is strongIt is a time of unrest. In the Star Wars universe, that?s all the time. But apparently, that?s important in Star Wars: Outlook ? I mean Star Wars: Outlaws ? which was shown off (https://youtu.be/c7K2TA0bBpY) by Massive Entertainment as part of Ubisoft Forward 2023.
You play as Kay Vess (https://www.destructoid.com/star-wars-outlaws-gives-us-a-look-at-its-roguish-underworld/), a thief who has a bounty on their head. She sneaks around and sucker-punches some dudes who don?t look like her. Her furry axolotl can be commanded by her to fetch weapons in the midst of combat. It?s actually pretty cute. Very merchandize-able.

She then takes off into the open world. Yeah, it?s open world. Normally, this isn?t much of a bulletpoint, but for Ubisoft, it?s a warning. So, this whole thing is just accomplishing a side-quest delivery, and then returning to the quest giver. She then takes off in her ship, which, again, is the most unimaginative-looking ship I?ve seen in a while. There?s some space combat. Quest complete.
I mean, it looks nice. It sounds nice. It?s very Star Wars-y, which I mean as a compliment. Still, though, the whole vertical slice of gameplay is so Ubisoft that it gives me pause. A lot of the features of Star Wars: Outlook, uh, Outlaws look pretty cool. I just don?t want to be using them to accomplish a bunch of shallow, repetitive nothing missions.
We?ll see for sure just how it turns out when Star Wars: Outlaws release sometime in 2024.
