We are less than a month away from the release of Star Wars Outlaws, one of my most anticipated Star Wars releases in a while, and now Ubisoft and Massive have revealed more details about the game’s additional story content expansions! Coming out Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 respectively, Wild Card and A Pirate’s Fortune will bring new adventures to Kay Vess’ story, which includes hanging out with the notorious pirate Hondo Ohnaka!

Deeper Glimpse of Star Wars Outlaws Gameplay Stirs Hype and Hope
While we’re getting closer and closer to August 30, the release date of Star Wars Outlaws, everything I keep seeing, especially today’s new footage from the Ubisoft Forward 2024 showcase, makes August feel so much further away! We got two new sets of footage, the first being a general gameplay overview that’s almost 4 minutes long (see above!), and then there’s the lengthy 10 minute slice (see below the cut), which gives us a better look at specifics, like the heads-up-display (HUD), the very seamless transitions from ships to planets, and the “Experts” system. So check out the lengthier section and some impressions below! Continue reading “Deeper Glimpse of Star Wars Outlaws Gameplay Stirs Hype and Hope”
Star Wars Outlaws Story Trailer Promises Grand Adventures, Reveals August 30 Release Date!
After the gameplay walkthrough video released alongside its announcement back in June 2023, I didn’t really need to see more to be convinced I was going to get Star Wars Outlaws when it releases. The latest lowdown on the game, a story trailer, an August 30 release date, and pre-order bonuses came in handy for my confirmation bias about how good this game really looks. The tenacious Kay Vess, her adorable merqaal Nix, and enforcer droid ND-5 mixing it up with the galactic underworld elite, all to secure her freedom to start a new life, and doing so in scoundrel-ific fashion, visiting locales like Akiva, Toshara, and returning to her home of Cantonica’s Canto Bight…what more could you want?! Head below for a little breakdown of the trailer, a few screengrabs, details on the pre-order options (and how much they’ll set you back credits-wise), and more!

Gaming News: Battlefront Classic Collection Arrives March 15!
When the original Battlefront I and II released in the early ‘00’s, while I was playing many video games at that time as I transitioned from grade school to high school, these Star Wars gaming classics consumed much of my time. I tried revisiting Battlefront II on PC (I played them on PlayStation back in the day), ahead of Battlefront II’s (2017) release, and it didn’t quite click like it used to, but it might’ve been more me than how the game had aged. Regardless, they have a special spot in my heart and the announcement of the Battlefront Classic Collection has me excited to try them again when they launch on March 15, with tons of extra content and the multiplayer servers open and ready for battle again. I might not have as much time as I did in 2004/5 to play these now, but if you’re on PlayStation, I’m a trusty fighter to have by your side so make sure to friend me: BrushYourTeeth. Head below for more details and a few screenshots of the updated action! Continue reading “Gaming News: Battlefront Classic Collection Arrives March 15!”
SDCC 2023: Star Wars Outlaws Panel
With the gameplay video living rent free in my head every minute of every day, suffice to say Star Wars Outlaws is one of my most anticipated video games and Star Wars pieces of media. An open-world game where you mix it up with the criminal underworld as fresh but determined Kay Vess, alongside her cute little friend Nix? If the final game is even an ounce like its opening video, we’re in for a treat. At SDCC 2023, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment had a panel about the upcoming release, sharing details like the new criminal syndicate made for the game or there may be cooking, while also showing off the video above, where we see atmospheric video of the new planet Toshara and Kay voice actress Humberly Gonzalez filming mo-cap. Head below for all extra nuggets gleaned from the panel! Continue reading “SDCC 2023: Star Wars Outlaws Panel”
Star Wars: Outlaws Announced, Set for 2024 Release
First announced in January of 2021, Massive Entertainment’s upcoming open-world Star Wars game was officially revealed as Star Wars: Outlaws at Xbox Games Showcase 2023 with a slick CGI cinematic trailer (seen below). I’ve always enjoyed these, and often got very hyped by them back in the day, but I’ve since cooled on them and always wait for gameplay before getting too excited for a game. We didn’t have too wait long from the first trailer thankfully, as the Ubisoft Forward 2023 showcase delivered our first glimpse of scoundrel Kay Vess and (the cutest) Nix in action for Outlaws and it looks absolutely incredible, combing Grand Theft Auto and No Man’s Sky and putting it into a Star Wars game. It’s like something out of a dream, as I’ve been hoping for something like this for a long time and my hype for its release is through the atmosphere. You can see the full gameplay walkthrough above, as it’d be rude to hide it below the cut, but there some additional details below!

Final Gameplay Trailer for Jedi: Survivor, Out April 28 (SWCE ’23)
Jedi: Survivor keeps looking absolutely gorgeous every time we see new footage. I can’t wait to learn more about where the story for this will go, especially the potential High Republic Jedi, while the companion combat seems like such an awesome addition. While you wait for April 28, make sure to read Jedi: Battle Scars to find out some of what happened in the 5 year gap between games, and read an interview with game director Stig Asmussen for new screenshots. We hope to have a review up, probably in May, after playing the game!

Jedi: Survivor’s Story Trailer Hypes Up April 28 Release!
With almost a month to go until Jedi: Survivor’s new release date on April 28, Respawn Entertainment unveiled a story trailer which teases some cool new features, highlighted Merrin’s return, and confirmed the game’s The High Republic era connection. Between the excellent interquel novel Jedi: Battle Scars by Sam Maggs, which bridges the two games by fleshing out its characters and where they’re heading for Survivor, and this new trailer, I’m all aboard the hype train for the game (even if random animal murder still features heavily). Check out some new screenshots, the THR connection, and more below the cut! Continue reading “Jedi: Survivor’s Story Trailer Hypes Up April 28 Release!”
Jedi: Survivor Gameplay Trailer Revealed
Thanks to this year’s The Game Awards, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor received its first gameplay trailer, giving us our first look at how the sequel will build off the previous entry’s sold underpinnings while taking advantage of current-gen technology. I’m already bracing for the lack of stealth options and inability to not kill poor, innocent creatures, but everything else I’m seeing in this trailer looks like a beautiful expansion on Fallen Order’s strengths, which Survivor is set 5 years after (at around the same time as Obi-Wan Kenobi). Out March 17, only a week after its prequel novel on April 28 now, a month after Battle Scars, Jedi: Survivor will hit PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Head below for screenshots from the trailer (Cere Junda’s look new look, Cal’s new pal Brode) and pre-order bonuses (leaked and not leaked)!

Jedi: Survivor Trailer, 2023 Release Revealed (SWCA 2022)
The moody first teaser for the Jedi: Fallen Order sequel, Jedi: Survivor (confirmed back in January), is more confusing than revealing, but at least BD-1 is in it, so there’s that! Set 5 years after Fallen Order, Survivor promises to expand just about everything from the first, more dynamic planets, lean even heavier into the bond between Cal and BD-1, expand combat even more (please please please stealth options), and more. Ponder of what the teaser means, and check out some screenshots from it below, though at least we won’t have to wait much longer: Jedi: Survivor launches in 2023!
