1. Ubisoft is developing a new Star Wars video game called "Star Wars: Outlaws," which is set to be an open-world action-adventure game taking place between the events of "Return of the Jedi" and "The Force Awakens." The game will feature a new protagonist named Kay, a smuggler and thief, who will navigate the criminal underworld of the Star Wars galaxy.
2. "Star Wars: Outlaws" is set to be the first major Star Wars game that is considered canon within the larger Star Wars universe, meaning its events and characters will be recognized as part of the official Star Wars storyline. This is a significant departure from previous Star Wars games, which were often set in separate timelines or alternate universes.
3. The article also mentions that "Star Wars: Outlaws" will be the first Star Wars game developed by Ubisoft, a major video game publisher known for popular franchises like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry. This collaboration between Ubisoft and Lucasfilm is seen as a promising opportunity to expand the Star Wars gaming experience and potentially introduce new gameplay elements and storytelling approaches.
