Star Wars Outlaws features scoundrelly stealth and gunplay

Ubisoft revealed new gameplay details about its upcoming Star Wars open-world adventure game, Outlaws, at its Forward presentation. The showcase revealed how the two protagonists — jobbing bounty hunter Kay Vess and her companion Nix — run jobs during a time of Imperial occupation. The gameplay showcase revealed that stealth plays a large component of the game, as does traditional third-person shooting. Kay can also use Nix in gameplay as a sort of familiar, directing it to help in various ways.

The beginning of the showcase follows Kay and Nix as they attempt to complete a heist in Pike Syndicate territory, with Kay using Nix as a combination of long-range helper and distraction while she’s in stealth mode. Kay then breaks stealth and engages in a gun fight with Syndicate members, showing a few different blaster types and modes.
