As anticipation builds for the Aug. 30 release of Star Wars Outlaws, a new video shows exactly what players can expect from the new open-world game.
Released by the gaming site IGN, the 10-minute clip features the game's main character, Kay Vess, a rookie scoundrel completing a quest on the planet Tatooine.Â

The gameplay video starts with Kay approaching a Jawa shop in hopes of getting a turret equipped on her ship. The head of C-3P0 offers translating help. In order to get what she wants, Kay must complete a fetch quest to acquire a Sarlacc tooth from the creature's second mouth. This sends Kay and her little Merqaal companion Nix driving on her speeder to a Sarlacc pit to find the tooth. The gameplay includes chatting, driving, cave exploring and some light combat as Kay retrieves an item stolen from her. It concludes with Kay returning to space.
The video shows off how abilities are unlocked in the game, how characters communicate with each other and how missions work in Star Wars Outlaws.
The game is being released next month for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. It'll be available to play three days early for those who preorder the game. It was developed by Ubisoft's studio Massive Entertainment, which previously worked on The Division, The Division 2 and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
