The future of the fan-favorite Star Wars video game franchise is currently being shaped by a small team of developers in the studio of Rockstar Games. In a recent interview, Rockstar Games president Leslie Benzies revealed that Star Wars Outlaws, the next game in the franchise, will be made with a “very focused” vision.
According to Benzies, the development team is aiming to capture the same level of intensity, story arc, and strategic play as the original trilogy of the Star Wars movies. The game’s focus will be to tell a powerful story about a small group of characters who form an unusual alliance in an effort to defeat a much larger enemy.
The game may only feature a few major characters and locations, but Benzies stresses that a great deal of attention will be paid to their development. By keeping the size of the game small and focused, Rockstar hopes to ensure that the attention to detail remains high throughout the game.
Benzies further commented that the game will not be overly ambitious in size or scope, which he believes will allow the development team to create a more satisfying experience. He also believes that this approach will help to limit the resources needed to develop the game and ensure that the final product is of excellent quality.
Despite the focus on smaller scope, the team is going for a larger scope in terms of what Star Wars fans can expect from Outlaws. With the inclusion of more weapons, pilotable starships, and other elements, Rockstar is hoping to give players a familiar yet unique experience.
Benzies further confirmed that the game is still in its early stages of development, and that Rockstar hopes to release it in a couple of years time. The game has been described as an ambitious yet attainable project, and will likely prove to be an exciting new entry in the beloved Star Wars franchise.
