Star Wars Outlawsis coming relatively soon, and it is Ubisoft’s ambitious entry into the franchise. and will feature some unique mechanics, like a popularity system that can affect gameplay. A similar feature will also be implemented in Funcom’sDune: Awakening.

Dune: Awakening is expected to be released early this year and will be available across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.

Both games will have different factions and clans for players to pick and choose their allegiances, which will have severe ramifications for the story’s progression.

Star Wars Outlaws And Dune: Awakening Will Give Players The Right To Choose

Navid Khavari serves as the narrative director of Ubisoft’s original game and shared details about it in an interview withGameInformerand mentioned the major presence of different factions in the criminal underworld in theStar Warsuniverse and even developed a brand new syndicate for the game known as the Ashiga Clan.

The Ashiga Clan are a new syndicate we’ve crafted born from the collaboration between Massive and Lucasfilm Games. The Ashiga Clan are based on the ice-cold planet of Kijimi, which you might recognize from the Rise of Skywalker. As a syndicate they have a strict code of honor and are based around a hierarchical Melitto hive with their entire worldview being about the survival of the collective.

Khavari continued to explain:

Everything and everyone is judged on their usefulness to the whole. The Ashiga Clan have worked their way into every aspect of Kijimi’s underworld, from smuggling to extortion or sabotage and even weapons manufacturing. Wherever a shadow falls on Kijimi, you will find a member of the Ashiga Clan.

The game willnot be focused on the central groupslike the Rebellion or the Empire but will tackle the more obscure groups like the Syndicates that Kay Vess can affiliate herself with. The player’s decisions can have a significant impact on the overall story, similar to howDune: Awakeningis designed to let playerschoose their clans and the option to take the territories.

Several key characters from the original trilogy will have roles in Star Wars Outlaws.

Freedom can be quite intriguing for fans and seeing how their choices evolve the story grants them a sense of ownership and agency for their respective journeys. While Funcom is working on a massive online multiplayer game, Ubisoft went with a more linear approach in terms of narrative.

Funcom has the opportunity toexpand the loreof the franchise that has been untapped by its live-action film counterparts and to showcase Arrakis. Developers now understand that the community is interested in taking part in the story rather than going in for the ride and are given more options.

Khavari saw the opportunity to shed some light on an obscure aspect of theStar Warsfranchise and feels the pressure of getting it right while honoring the original films.
