As part of its IGN First promotional period, ten more minutes of Star Wars Outlaws have been published online. In this clip, protagonist Kay Vess is tasked with finding a sarlacc tooth, so she seeks out one of the giant creatures in the desert and heads inside. Unfortunately, her hard work uncovering the enormous fang is undone when thieves ambush her and steal it – but armed with her trusty speeder, she’s able to track down the ne’er-do-wells and take it back.

The cool thing about this quest is that the rewards go beyond XP and some in-game currency; you actually unlock a meaningful upgrade for your aircraft, which you can then use in space combat. If all of the main quests in the game unlock similarly meaningful items and upgrades, then it’ll prove good incentive to actually get out into the world and complete everything each planet has to offer.

Personally, we reckon this is looking real good. Clearly it’s not bringing anything particularly different to the open world genre, but the Star Wars veneer undoubtedly makes it more compelling – we can’t wait until launch on 30th August.
