Open-world travel may be old hat in some game series, but Star Wars: Outlaws is the first in which you can step away from the action and explore the corners of a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars, as a entire franchise, made a splash at the movie theaters just in time for the original trilogy to reign over home video in the 1980s, and spawned numerous video games in the 1990s. Then those games kind of lost steam for a couple of decades with the death of LucasArts, but now there is plenty of Star Wars action in games again. But Star Wars: Outlaws is expected to change everything when it drops on August 30.
Den of Geek was at the Summer Game Fest and got to play an hour of Outlaws, traveling to four very different planets and a moon. They also talked to developers from Massive about how the game came about, its mission, and the challenges of an open-world Star Wars setting. You'll get plenty of details before playing in an extensive article on Star Wars: Outlaws at Den of Geek.
