Star Wars 1313 is a project that never ended up coming to life, but the similarities between what is known of 1313 and Star Wars Outlaws are hard to ignore. A recent interview with Narrative Director Navid Khavari ignited speculation that it could be the spiritual rebirth of the long-mourned 1313. While details of 1313 may be scarce, the description of Outlaws sounds like what 1313 was going to be.

In the interview with Kotaku, Khavari spoke of a Star Wars experience that leans heavily into open-world exploration, gritty underworld dealings, and the thrill of carving your own path through the galaxy’s criminal underbelly. Outlaws throws off the shackles of linear storytelling, embracing the vast potential of an open-world Star Wars game. It did sound like 1313 was going to be a linear game, but Outlaws may take the concept and open it up.

The interview heavily emphasized the seedy underbelly that will serve as your playground in Star Wars Outlaws. There were rumors that players would work in the neon-drenched depths of Coruscant’s criminal district in 1313. Outlaws seems to be picking up that torch and sprinting with it.

Instead of sticking to one story or planet, players may be able to traverse the sprawling cityscape of Coruscant’s underbelly, navigate the treacherous jungle moon of Endor, or hunt for bounties across the desolate plains of Tatooine. The developer hinted at diverse environments teeming with life, each offering unique gameplay opportunities and emergent storytelling possibilities.

This freedom – as well as the similarities with 1313 – extends to your character. Instead of being just another Jedi or Sith, you are an outlaw on your own. Outlaws are normally the people who smuggle and haul spice across the Outer Rim, bounty hunters tracking scum across the galaxy by any means, and criminals navigating the treacherous labyrinth of Coruscant’s criminal underworld.

But your adventures won’t be confined to the grimy streets. The developer mentioned the possibility of owning and customizing your own ship, your personal haven amidst the galactic storm. Imagine this trusty vessel as your mobile base of operations, a launching pad for your exploits, and a refuge from the relentless pursuit of bounty hunters and vengeful rivals.

Ubisoft didn’t outright say that Outlaws is somewhat inspired by the rumors of 1313, but it sure sounds like they started from there and made it far better.

The person who wrote the article above knows literally nothing about game dev. Or, more accurately, knew a clickbait headline when he saw one and decided to damn all evidence and logic and just go in for clicks anyway.

Looking great, I think this game is really promising and may even become the most successful Ubisoft game ever. Apparently has anything to be a huge success:
  • The base of Ubisoft fans that turns most non-brilliant big open worlds into massive successes
  • The popularity of a top tier mainstream IP to further boost sales
  • Top tier visuals to make people more interested
  • Ugly manly androginous female protagonist to protect themselves against being attacked by the woke gang inquisition, but maybe not ugly enough to make people run away
  • Apparently the more the very good gameplay standards from Massive we saw in The Division in a game that fits very well
  • Apparently a bigger variety of planets, locations, characters, etc. that could help make Ubisoft open world games feel less repetitive and bloated, specially with the rich universe and world building that Star Wars has
  • With Switch 2, Marathon and GTAV apparently delayed to 2025, may have a Holidays season with less big releases than usual because and as I remember there are no big seller Holiday releases announced other than the yearly ones from EA, Activision, Take 2, Sony, WB or Nintendo (I may have forgot something). So I think this game and Concord and (can't remember now if it was going to be a 2024 game) AC Red will be the big games of the Holidays.

Hyped for Outlaws but really hoping the game isn't in wide screen with black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.
