About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

In Star Wars Outlaws, fans play as Kay Vess, who is attempting to pull off one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen.

Star Wars Outlaws is the first open-world Star Wars game.

With development led by Massive Entertainment, Star Wars Outlaws invites players to experience the Star Wars galaxy like never before through an original story set between Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

As the Galactic Empire relentlessly pursues the final defeat of the Rebel Alliance, the criminal underworld thrives. Fans play as cunning scoundrel, Kay Vess, brought to life by Humberly González, and her loyal companion Nix, played by Dee Bradley Baker (Star Wars: The Bad Batch), as they attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen.

Seeking the means to start a new life, players will join Kay and Nix as they fight, steal, and outwit their way through the galaxy's crime syndicates and join the galaxy's most wanted.

"When we first imagined the first open-world Star Wars game, we explored where and when it could take place, and quickly realized that we had all the right ingredients for the journey of a scoundrel. These outlaws live life under the thumb of the Galactic Empire, but can still thrive given the opportunities that the criminal underworld opens up for people looking to take advantage of the turmoil," said Julian Gerighty, Creative Director at Massive Entertainment. "The time is ripe for a new outlaw to make their name, and Kay Vess is written in the stars."

"With Star Wars Outlaws, we're excited to deliver the first truly open world Star Wars game, with an action-adventure story filled with characters and planets both new and well-known to the Star Wars galaxy," said Douglas Reilly, vice president, Lucasfilm Games. "We have been working closely with the talented team at Massive Entertainment, and with their years of experience in creating richly-detailed worlds, we're excited for fans to be able to jump into the Star Wars scoundrel fantasy like never before."

Star Wars Outlaws is coming to the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2024.
