A brief Star Wars Outlaws trailer debuted today as part of Summer Game Fest, offering a quick glimpse at several new moments - including a card game against everybody's favorite suave gambler, Lando Calrissian.

You can check out the trailer in full below. The teaser doesn't give much detail on what's happening, but it looks like we can expect more insight from a "new gameplay reveal" this Monday at Ubisoft Forward.

There isn't too much to glean from the snippets - mostly we see gameplay bits that were previously revealed, including speeder bike chases with Red Dead-style paint-and-shoot-target mechanics and opportunities to send Nix out for helpful little tasks. The trailer does, however, reveal several new action set pieces and locations, which we'll hopefully see a bit more of on Monday during the gameplay reveal in the big Ubisoft Showcase.

The standout moment is the bit where it seems we'll be able to sit down for a game of Sabacc with Lando himself. We know that Outlaws takes place between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, so Lando's certainly got a lot on his plate, working with the Rebellion to get his recently betrayed buddy Han out of his carbonite prison. We've also seen a lot of both Jabba and frozen Han in the trailers too, so it's possible we'll be able to take a hands-on role in making the famous movie rescue happen.

Star Wars Outlaws being sandwiched between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi is a stronger pull than the Force.
