Star Wars Outlawswill have an optional Ultrawide display to make it “one of the most cinematic games of all time.”
In an interview withGame Informer, Star Wars Outlaws' creative director Julian Gerighty discussed the upcoming game’s visuals and how the developers made it feel as nostalgic as the movies in the original trilogy. The director said about using Massive Entertainment’s Snowdrop engine in Outlaws: “Graphically we still have the same really great lighting, attention to detail, lots and lots of props and detail within the environments that we create.”
“On top of that,” Gerighty continues, “we’ve added a whole suite of technological advances that allow us to recreate a cinema experience.” Asrevealed previously, Star Wars Outlaws players can set the action-adventure game to cinematic mode which features an Ultrawide display and, as Gerighty says, is “part of our commitment to make one of the most cinematic games of all time.”
This isn’t the only thing to give theUbisofttitle that cinematic feel. “We have lenses, we have post-processing effects like lens flares, film grain, vignetting - just to recreate this incredible theater-like experience of the first movies,” the creative director adds.
In other news, Ubisoft recently cleared up a misunderstanding that caused future Star Wars Outlaws players to believe they’d only encounter the series' favorite villain Jabba the Hutt if they picked up the game’s Season Pass. As it turns out,the exclusive mission won’t be the only time Kay Vess encounters the crime lord.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
