In a highly-anticipated reveal, Massive Entertainment, the renowned developer behind Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, has announced another thrilling addition to their lineup: Star Wars Outlaws.
Set to release next year, this open-world, single-player game is destined to transport players to a galaxy far, far away, immersing them in an expansive and captivating gaming experience. As Ubisoft’s reputation for delivering grand-scale games precedes them, fans are naturally eager to learn just how vast and awe-inspiring Star Wars Outlaws will be.
Size Matters: A Journey across Enormous Planets
In a recent interview with EDGE magazine (via MP1st), the game’s creative director, Julian Gerighty, shared intriguing new details about this action-adventure title. One key aspect discussed was the size of the planets that players will have the opportunity to explore, particularly focusing on the protagonist, Kay Vess.
Gerighty revealed that each planet featured in Star Wars Outlaws will encompass an area approximately equivalent to two or three zones found in the vast open world map of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. This means that traversing each planet will be a true “journey” in itself, even when utilizing fast vehicles for transportation.
Players can expect to encounter sprawling landscapes, diverse terrains, and unique landmarks that will make each planet feel like a vast playground, ripe for exploration.
Handcrafted Wonder: Meticulous Attention to Detail
While other games may rely on procedurally generated content, Star Wars Outlaws takes a different approach. Gerighty confirmed that there are no fully procedurally generated planets in the game, unlike the upcoming open-world space behemoth Starfield.

Whether soaring through the atmosphere or engaging in thrilling dogfights amidst the stars, players can anticipate a rich and immersive spacefaring experience as they explore the depths of the Star Wars universe.
