We play a character who is "trained" in the human's technology, and now wakes up after 15 years.

We see the player running around in first-person throughout the world, flying through the environments, exploring huge gorgeous environments just like the films. We then see lots of first-person gameplay of the player shooting arrows and using guns to defeat gigantic machines. James Cameron has appeared and is talking about the Avatar series.

RDA abducts the player and other Na'Vi, and eventually you grow up in a foreign world that has changed much since you were put to sleep.

Tons of different factions exist throughout the environments, and players will receive an Ikran to tame and name as your own. The developer commentary is going over the different regions, combat styles, and how battling against enemies will work in the game.

We were greeted with a story trailer which shows the protagonist nearly assassinated before being saved by an assassin. We see the player being trained to become an assassin afterwards. It's launching October 12.

Afterwards, we are given a gameplay walkthrough. We see the protagonist jumping across the rooftops and such before assassinating his target and running throughout the whole city. We then see the protagonist looking through the tools menu, unlocking a blowdart afterwards.

We then see five options for missions, before the player passes time throughout a gorgeous corner of the city. Players can then look up in the sky using their eagle, who swiftly gets shot at, before jumping over a wall. We see the player blend in with the crowd before stealthily killing two guards, and then distracting one to assassinate another from behind. We then see the player scale into the palace before targeting multiple enemies at once and assassinating all three of them instantly.

We see the player jump down from a rope before assassinating his target and swiftly escaping out of the area, assassinating more enemies along the way.

The show then gave us a big look at Star Wars: Outlaws. The game takes place in a tumultuous period of history, with bandits running rampant, including the protagonist. The player has to perform the most dangerous heist ever, all while running away from the imperialists.

We then get our first gameplay trailer for Outlaws. It opens with a classic shot of the galaxy before we zoom out of a stone on a table. We see our cute little companion grab a gem before handing it to the protagonist. We go into the shoes of the protagonist before punching an enemy out.

We order our little friend to click a button and it moves a giant crate towards the player before they jump on it. We then see the player get discovered before pulling out a gun and firing against tons of enemies. The protagonist jumps out of the window and jumps in a scooter before flying off while being chased by tons of firing at the protagonist.

We see the protagonist enter a bar before meeting with a bunch of other characters, specifically her droid companion. We see the player choose between bribing the empire officer or not. We see the player enter a ship and begin to fly into space and fly through a wrecked asteroid field before jumping into hyperspace.
