In a recent interview with GamesRadar, creative director Julian Gerighty was asked about the references Massive Entertainment used for its latest open world.

The interviewer stated that playing Star Wars Outlaws reminded him of Red Dead Redemption, because of the Western film influences it has, but the director revealed that his biggest reference was Ghost of Tsushima.

It’s super interesting because my biggest reference was Ghost of Tsushima.

-Julian Gerighty 

He further stated that Red Dead Redemption is phenomenal since its open world feels like a real world and not a checklist of things that are often repeated. The creative director further stated that he loved Ghost of Tsushima’s world for its purity of having a player fantasy.

This is the story, the world, the character, everything fits together with the gameplay guiding everything. 

-Julian Gerighty

Julian stated that the fantasy of being a samurai ninja in Japan was great and that was one of the guiding lights for Star Wars Outlaws.
