Star Wars: Outlaws will be released on August 30th for PS5, XSX|S and PC. Recently, 4gamers interviewed Fredrik Thylander, chief game designer at Ubisoft, to discuss the protagonist's facial model, which is of most concern to players.


Kay

The reporter asked, the face model of the heroine Kay is Humberly Gonzalez, but many players think that Kay looks different from Gonzalez. What elements make Kay a unique character?


Hemberly Gonzalez

Tiland replied that the team did a lot of work when making the two protagonists, because Kai always appears with Xiao Ni. When Gonzalez gave life to Kai, the team also made some adjustments, which were not only to bring his emotions into Kai, but also to make the facial animation effect better.

The character design was done by Massive Entertainment in collaboration with Lucasfilm. There are also specific elements to other physical features, such as the upturned collar of Kay's jacket, which represents her confidence, and her technology devices are always worn on her body. She also wears sneakers, which are the first appearance in the Star Wars universe, because she has to walk a lot and needs a pair of comfortable and durable shoes.


Comparison between the face model and the heroine

In addition, Kay's appearance also shows her difficult past and the difficulties she faced as a thief. For example, there are many wear and tear marks on her clothes and her nose was broken. These are small elements that are not her main features, but details that can only be discovered from a more delicate angle. In short, there are many elements that make up Kay. It is difficult to say which one is the most important. We hope that players can carefully observe these details and feel excited after discovering them.

Tiland also introduced that players can visit five planets in Star Wars: Outlaws: Cantonica, Toshara (Grassland Moon), Akiva, Chikimi and Tatooine, as well as the space station. It takes about 25 hours for players to quickly pass the game, and more than 60 hours if they want to explore the world in depth. Ubisoft focuses on creating mission quality and immersion, and hopes that every player can have fun.
