The developers of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Division have just announced 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars: Outlaws, set to launch sometime in 2024, and we'll get to see the gameplay in action at Ubisoft Forward on June 12.
Ubisoft has been teasing its new Star Wars game for a few months now, saying back in January that it will feature a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:"🌃fully open, seamless universe" akin to that of No Man's Sky.
We didn't get to see much of the world in the trailer, but it did introduce us to a smuggler called Kay, with all the Star Wars motifs plastered from start to finish. There are armies of original trilogy Storm Troopers marching in unison, TIE fighters, a Hutt, and Star Destroyers. Ubisoft's showcase will start at 6 pm UK time tomorrow, so it's not long at all before we get to see what Massive's take on Star Wars will look like in action.
Massive has worked on a slew of games for Ubisoft. While it's mostly known for its work on The Division and The Division 2, it also worked on Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Far Cry 3, and Just Dance Now, and is even developing the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game, another IP licensed by Disney.
Outlaws isn't the first Star Wars game to put us into the shoes of a bounty hunter slash smuggler. There was a game simply titled Bounty Hunter that launched in 2002, set ten years before Attack of the Clones. It tells the story of how Jango Fett became the clone template for the Republic, even having the title 'Jango Fett' in Japan. There was also a cancelled Star Wars bounty hunter game called 1313, which would've seen us playing as Jango's son, Boba Fett. While scrapped, elements of this game were repurposed into The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fe💯tt, two Disney Plus shows.
In other Star Wars news, The Old Republic MMO is shifting developers so BioWare can 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:instead focus on Dragon Age. Reportedly, the plan is to have Ultimate Online developer Broadsword Online take over development, which is run by former BioWare vice president Rob Denton. Around half of the 70-80 developers currently working on The Old Republic are reportedly still working on the title, while the other half are being offered roles within BioWare and EA. According to reports, the deal isn't set in stone and hasn't taken action just yet, but EA has said that it wants "to do what is best for the game and its players", including "conversations with Broadsword." We'll likely see this come to fruition in the coming months.
