Star Wars Outlaws is gearing up for an exhilarating expansion with its upcoming DLC, A Pirate’s Fortune, set to release in 2024. Developed by Massive Entertainment, this new content promises to dive deeper into the darker, more villainous aspects of the Star Wars universe. The DLC will feature iconic pirate Hondo Ohnaka from The Clone Wars, offering players a fresh narrative that shifts focus from the previous DLC, Wild Card. This change in subject matter has sparked excitement among fans, hinting at an engaging pirate-centric adventure.

Hondo to Team Up with Kay and Nix
The excitement surrounding the new DLC has escalated with the release of the first teaser image. The official Star Wars: Outlaws X account showcased Ohnaka alongside Kay Vess and her merqaal companion, Nix. Although specific details are still under wraps, the teaser has fans eagerly anticipating further revelations slated for the Star Wars Celebration on April 18, 2024.
According to a roadmap shared on the Ubisoft blog, the second DLC unveils an intriguing premise: “The Trailblazer’s reputation precedes Kay as she encounters veteran pirate Hondo Ohnaka, who is on a mission to settle old scores with a ruthless gang.” This sets the stage for what promises to be an action-packed adventure filled with Ohnaka’s trademark schemes and audacious escapades.

Exploring a Different Dimension of the Criminal Underworld
The inaugural DLC for Star Wars: Outlaws, titled Wild Card, featured the beloved Lando Calrissian, known for his suave demeanor and high-stakes Sabacc matches. However, while the DLC introduced entertaining gameplay elements, it ultimately did not make a lasting impact within the game experience. Although players enjoyed the thrilling card game, it lacked the depth needed to elevate it beyond the existing storyline.
In contrast, Hondo Ohnaka presents a more novel opportunity for storytelling. First introduced in The Clone Wars, Ohnaka quickly became a fan favorite due to his colorful personality and limited appearances compared to long-time characters like Lando. This allows the upcoming DLC to explore new dimensions of the criminal underworld, offering a refreshing narrative trajectory. Whereas Lando embodies charm and smooth tactics, Ohnaka’s larger-than-life antics could lead to fast-paced and unpredictable gameplay, drawing players into a world ripe with unique challenges.
With the combination of fan-favorite characters and a focus on pirate lore, A Pirate’s Fortune is poised to deliver a captivating experience, setting the stage for thrilling adventures in the Star Wars universe.
