During my hands-on session with the game at Summer Game Fest, I was treated to three missions, each showcasing a core part ofStar Wars Outlaws’gameplay.
Flying the starship felt fantastic, with full control given to the player to pull off some wild manoeuvres that’d even impress Han Solo with their daringness. When it comes time to touch down on a planet’s surface, the player is treated to a seamless animation of flying through the planet’s atmosphere before getting out of your space craft, no loading screens to break up the gameplay.
Another mission showed off Kay’s skills as a scoundrel, as she explores a derelict cruiser with her grappling hook, flashlight and other gadgets, all while the scenery crumbles and shifts around her. This ended with a high-stakes escape from a pursuing bounty hunter, as well as the introduction to, in my opinion, the game’s best character.

The final mission I played was a stealth and action segment that felt like it was straight out of Uncharted. Sneaking around a complex filled with guards, stealing a priceless relic and blasting my way out of there was all good fun.
