Firstly, new details were disclosed about some key characters that will accompany the main character Kay Vessa on her journey. There is, of course, her faithful fluffy companion NIX, which, according to the developers, is Merkaal. A new type of creature created for the game, NIX – this is “Rare and exotic»A creature whose native planet is”a mystery“.

The dusty rock on which the recent demonstration took place is Toshara, the moon described as “Hivery of criminal activity“, Which Massive Entertainment conceived and created in close cooperation with Lucasfilm, including everything, from its vegetation and wild nature to its unique culture and gameplay activities.

On each planet, players will also find many cities and settlements that will serve as centers of activity, such as the hope of Jounts on Toshara or the capital of the moon of Mirogan, which is teeming with criminals and corruption. Massive says that every planet in the game will have “A special profile“, Which means that each of them will not only look unique, but also have its own history, unique wildlife and ecosystem and much more.

It is assumed that a similar level of diversity will be found in space and Massive said that each individual orbital region will also have its own identity.

It was also confirmed that the transition from the planet to the cosmos (and vice versa) will be completely seamless.

The mechanics of choice and consequences will also play a large role and will be directly related to the reputation system in which your reputation in various syndicates and fractions will change depending on who you decide to join in your work, as well as other important elections that you Do. “The most profitable opportunities»The game will become available to Kay if its reputation with certain fractions is quite good, while, on the other hand, those with whom you have no good relations will block you in some missions.

In addition to everything, as hinted at the demonstration of gameplay, the Star Wars Outlaws will also have a search system.

As for the mechanics of progress, the developers say that both Kay and its blaster (along with other abilities and tools) will develop and improve along the game, although there are few specific details. In particular, the blaster can be equipped with new modules and updates that you can find what the developers say, as the developers say, “radically»Different options for how to cope with situations. Meanwhile, although it is obvious that it is best used in battle, it is described as “central and universal instrument“, Which can be used not only for a direct attack of enemies.
