One of the minds behind Star Wars Outlaws has gone into more detail about one of the game’s big features. And it looks very interesting.
This year 2024 already promises to be rich in big releases. We obviously think of FF7 Rebirth, but there is also Star Wars Outlaws. Ubisoft is going to hit hard by offering us a unique adventure in this well-known universe. For the moment, we have some information about the game, and we just got some new one. It concerns a very specific functionality which could change many things in terms of the experience offered.
Star Wars Outlaws will make your choices matter
It was Julian Gerighty, creative director at Ubisoft Massive, who came to talk to us about Star Wars Outlaws. To be more precise, it detailed an aspect of gameplay that had not yet been highlighted much. This is the reputation system. It’s a bit the same principle as in other games like Watch Dogs, if you know. In short, depending on the choices you make, and the way you play, the adventure will take a different turn. But here, it will have a really significant impact.
Our man emphasizes the fact that this will “drastically” modify the progression of the character in Star Wars Outlaws. In short, you can decide to fully embrace your role as a scammer, and behave in the worst way. And on the contrary, you have the opportunity to do “good”, not to sow chaos around you. In any case, it will have repercussions on the rest of the adventure. To tell the truth, we don’t know exactly what form it will take, so we’re just making assumptions. Here’s what he told GamesRadar+, giving us more insight into this feature:
As a crook, you live and die by your reputation, which means Kay will have to navigate the criminal world and its various syndicates, making choices that will impact her reputation, experience and support throughout the game. A good reputation could lead to some of the most lucrative opportunities, and a bad reputation could lead to [Kay Vess] to face the wrath of a union then who will hunt her down.
