When we started the journey of creating Star Wars Outlaws, our aim was to create an immersive experience, inspired by the immense impact the original trilogy had on our team. We used those memories and feelings- with an added modern twist, to bring Star Wars Outlaws to life- a game with a unique visual presentation that pays homage to the movies we love so much.
We spent countless hours re-watching the movies and shows, reading the books and comic series, playing the games and even building model kits, exploring every corner of the galaxy that we could. Everyone has a different memory of and relationship with Star Wars and a different view of what it means to them and we worked to incorporate those elements into our game. Diving deep into this rich history gave us a renewed appreciation for what makes the visual identity of Star Wars so unique, regardless of the era.
Our goal was to create something that was both enjoyable for seasoned fans of the franchise, with references and details from the world they know so well, while creating a world that would be understandable and relatable to players diving into the Star Wars galaxy for the first time through Kay Vess and Nix.
As the art and world director, it is a huge privilege to present the work of our amazingly talented team, who poured their hearts and souls into creating an immersive open world Star Wars experience that has never been seen before. Their passion and love for Star Wars was the core of making this game and at the heart of every decision. From small props to the most glorious vistas, every detail was crafted by a team that loves Star Wars and wanted to bring their love and passion for it into the game world for players to explore and enjoy.
This is just a small glimpse behind the scenes of the game's creation. We hope you enjoy looking at the concepts, characters, props, environments and much more that helped bring Star Wars Outlaws to life.
