His team is dedicated to ensuring thatStar Wars Outlawsstands apart from the typical Ubisoft open-world game. Historically, Massive started as an independent studio, later becoming part of Activision before joining Ubisoft, which has allowed it to develop a unique creative DNA.
Star Wars Outlaws Will Not Be Like the Ubisoft Games You Know
