I’m glossing over that Starfield has been touted as such an unofficial Solo simulator, given that going by the Starfield Direct showcase, it’ll be a game that’s more about creating your own character than fitting one to a certain mold.

That’s because we might finally be getting a Han Solo simulator that I - and I’m sure others - have been waiting ages for. But Star Wars: Outlaws could hit differently. Having spent a decent amount of time in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, I’d not normally get that excited about another Ubisoft open-world game we have enough of those already and I don’t have as much free time as I used to. Revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 11 and then Ubisoft Forward 2023 a day later, Star Wars: Outlaws is a game that’ll put players in the boots of Kay Vess as she delves into the underworld of the Star Wars ‘universe.’ And this being an Ubisoft-published game means there’s an open-world/worlds to explore, which should let us dive deeper into the lived-in setting of a galaxy far, far away. And that could get another jolt of the Force with Star Wars: Outlaws. With Jedi Survivor winning acclaim from critics and players alike, and Star Wars Squadrons still being a great arcade-like space dogfighting title worthy of our best Xbox Series X games list, you could argue we’re entering a new golden age for Star Wars games.
