Star Wars Outlaws fans have a new reason to celebrate with the launch of the A Pirate’s Fortune DLC, available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The driving force behind this expansion? None other than the beloved Weequay pirate, Hondo Ohnaka. Drew Rechner, Creative Director at Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, shared with IGN that the team's passion for Hondo fueled the creation of this DLC. "We always knew because there were so many passionate people on the team that we needed to feature Hondo. And, you know, that scoundrel fantasy of Kay mixing with the pirate fantasy of Hondo, it just kind of makes sense, right?" Rechner explained.

The storyline of the DLC sees protagonist Kay Vess navigating her path to leadership, with Hondo Ohnaka serving as a mentor—or perhaps something more ambiguous. This dynamic adds depth to Kay's journey as she learns what it means to lead. The expansion introduces new elements to the game, including encounters with the Rokana Raiders crime gang and the Miyuki Trade League, which can provide upgrades for Kay's Trailblazer ship. Additionally, players can enjoy a new blaster capability called Shock, enhancing the gameplay experience.

In other news, Star Wars Outlaws is set to release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on September 4. While Rechner kept details under wraps about any new features for the Switch 2 version, he hinted at more information to come. "In terms of a specific feature set, that's something that we will get into later. So we'll have more stuff to talk about later," he teased. Potential features for the Switch 2 version could include using the controllers as a mouse and a new GameChat capability, promising an enhanced gaming experience for fans.
