Star Wars Outlaws launches on Xbox Series X|S on August 30, 2024, and is available for pre-order now on the Xbox Store! Set between “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” and “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,” Star Wars Outlaws lets you play as cunning scoundrel Kay Vess, who alongside her loyal companion Nix must attempt one of the greatest heists in the galaxy in order to win her freedom.

In a brand-new Story Trailer for Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft gave fans a closer look at the story of Kay Vess and Nix, and introduced the game’s main antagonist, Sliro. But there’s more to dive into, and we’re here to get you up to lightspeed.

Here are five things to pay attention to in the new Star Wars Outlaws trailer.

A Look at All the Criminal Syndicates

Kay and Nix will need to travel to the far reaches of the galactic underworld and build their reputation with legendary criminal organizations including the Pyke Syndicate, the Hutt Cartel, Crimson Dawn, and the Ashiga Clan, a new syndicate created in collaboration between Massive Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. While stealing valuable goods, infiltrating secret locations, and outwitting enemies, players will need to carefully consider how their choices affect their status with each syndicate. Kay’s ever-changing reputation will be influenced by every move.

New Planets and Locations

We saw more of the planets and locations that Kay and Nix will explore on their journey. As Kay, you’ll be able to explore Canto Bight, Tatooine, Kijimi, Akiva, and a new addition to the Star Wars galaxy, Toshara, which was developed by Massive Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. From the humid jungles of Akiva to the windswept savannah of Toshara, each of these locations offers a unique experience and a variety of gameplay opportunities.

Sliro and the Bounty on Kay’s Head

The story trailer offered a deeper look at Sliro, the antagonist in Star Wars Outlaws and the reason Kay will need to venture across the Outer Rim to free herself from a bounty that follows her. Sliro is one of the galaxy’s elites, living in Canto Bight and leading his own lethal syndicate, Zerek Besh. After a failed job, Sliro places a bounty on Kay’s head and hires Vail, one of the best bounty hunters in the Outer Rim, to hunt Kay down.

Jaylen Gives Kay an Opportunity

In the trailer, Kay is given an opportunity to buy her freedom by Jaylen, a gunrunner and master criminal who has been running heists for years. He sees potential in Kay and offers her a lucrative heist with a score that will set her up for the rest of her life, allowing Kay to fulfill her dream of living life free and finding her place in the galaxy. Players will be taking on this heist as Key Vess during the game.

Release Date

And of course, at the end of the trailer, it was revealed that Star Wars Outlaws launches on Xbox Series X|S on August 30, 2024, and is available for pre-order now on the Microsoft Store for Xbox!

In addition, those who purchase the Gold Edition or Ultimate Edition can play the game up to three days early. All pre-orders of Star Wars Outlaws will receive the Kessel Runner Bonus Pack, which includes cosmetics for Kay’s speeder and for her ship, the Trailblazer.
