The Star Wars galaxy is known for its planets with a single identifiable environmental attribute. There’s Tatooine, the desert planet; Hoth, the snow planet; Kamino, the water planet; and Mustafar, the hearth and lava planet. Due to Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft’s open-world scoundrel-adventure recreation, Star Wars now has a wind planet.
Toshara is an all-new location debuting in Star Wars Outlaws, designed in collaboration between Ubisoft’s Huge Leisure and Lucasfilm. Toshara is roofed in windswept plains impressed by the African savannah, builders say in a brand new behind-the-scenes video, and the planet’s geography is actually molded by its ever-present blustery breezes. That features its putting metropolis of Murugana, a settlement constructed into an enormous rock carved out by millennia of wind gusts.
Wind is the defining characteristic of Toshara, and Lucasfilm and Huge look like taking it very severely. Builders are integrating the single-environment planetary rule that pervades a lot of the Star Wars galaxy into Toshara’s flora, fauna, and economic system — it seems that Tosharans use kites as some kind of farming mechanism. One can solely assume that the native windbreaker retailers of Murugana are doing gangbusters enterprise.
Star Wars Outlaws protagonist Kay Vess will apparently spend a very good period of time on Toshara, her locks blowing within the breeze. The ten-minute gameplay preview that Huge confirmed at Ubisoft Ahead in June was principally set there; it’s the place Kay runs afoul of Imperial officers after a run-in with an area crime syndicate.
In case you desire your Star Wars to stay to well-trodden territory, don’t fear: You possibly can discover the sandy expanses of Tatooine in Star Wars Outlaws, too. Kay will apparently have a run-in with none apart from native gangster Jabba the Hutt as she fraternizes with the scum and villainy of Star Wars’ underworld.
Star Wars Outlaws is slated for launch on PlayStation 5, Home windows PC, and Xbox Collection X someday in 2024.
