Star Wars has its first wind planet, thanks to Ubisoft’s new game

Star Wars’ galaxy is known as a place where each planet has a distinct environmental characteristic. There’s Tatooine, the desert planet; Hoth, the snow planet; Kamino, the water planet; and Mustafar, the fire and lava planet. Thank you to Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft’s open-world scoundrel-adventure game, Star Wars now has a wind planet.

Toshara, a brand-new destination debuting in Star Wars Outlaws, designed in collaboration between Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment and Lucasfilm. Toshara is covered in windswept plains inspired by the African savannah, developers say in a new behind-the-scenes video, and the planet’s geography is literally molded by its ever-present blustery breezes. This includes the striking Murugana city, which is built in a rock that has been carved by wind for millennia.

There is wind. The following are some of the ways to get in touch with us.Toshara is defined by its unique landscape, and Lucasfilm Massive appears to be very serious about it. Developers are integrating the single-environment planetary rule that pervades much of the Star Wars galaxy into Toshara’s flora, fauna, and economy — it appears that Tosharans use kites as some sort of farming mechanism. Murugana’s local windbreaker sellers are probably doing big business.

Star Wars OutlawsKay Vess’s hair will be blowing around in the wind for a lot of her time. The 10-minute gameplay preview that Massive showed at Ubisoft Forward in June was mostly set there; it’s where Kay runs afoul of Imperial officers after a run-in with a local crime syndicate.

If you prefer your Star Wars to stick to well-trodden territory, don’t worry: You can explore the sandy expanses of Tatooine in Star Wars Outlaws, too. Kay will apparently have a run-in with none other than local gangster Jabba the Hutt as she fraternizes with the scum and villainy of Star Wars’ underworld.

Star Wars OutlawsIt is expected to release in 2024 on PlayStation 5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X.
