Star Wars Outlaws, the next big game from Ubisoft, is shaping up to be an entertainment joyride for the franchise fans. It’s a third-person action-adventure title that’s set between the events of the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back and the 1983 film Return of the Jedi and leverages the hugely popular franchise of the lore.
Based on the trailers we’ve seen so far, it’s clear that the game is going to dive into some niche aspects of Star Wars lore. Fans are curious to see what Ubisoft is planning to bring to the table, and even one of the leading Baldur’s Gate 3 developers is onboard the hype train!

It’s a known fact that Baldur’s Gate 3 was the biggest success story of 2023. Larian crafted a game that cemented itself as one of the greatest RPGs ever made. Its world is filled with charismatic characters, and the gameplay is quite challenging and exciting.
When the developers of such a legendary title are hyped for any other studio’s title, you know it’s going to be great! Larian’s director of publishing, Michael Douse, took it to X/Twitter and shared his excitement for Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars game.

Over the years, Ubisoft has clearly shown that it has mastered the art of crafting worlds in games with detailed environments, gripping narratives, and immersive gameplay. With their legendary franchises such as Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, they’ve proven that they can bring an expansive and culturally rich setting.
Ubisoft’s constant drive to push forward and set new standards for open-world game design is acknowledged by even developers at Larian. Let’s hope that with Star Wars Outlaw, the studio manages to create an experience that finally does justice to the Star Wars franchise in video games.
