Star Wars Outlaws has just expanded its universe with the launch of the A Pirate’s Fortune DLC, now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The driving force behind this new content? None other than the charming rogue, Hondo Ohnaka. Known from the Darth Maul comics and Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, Hondo's inclusion is a testament to the passion of the team at Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment.
Drew Rechner, Creative Director, shared with IGN, "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?" The narrative of the DLC explores Kay's growth into leadership, with Hondo possibly serving as a mentor, adding a rich layer to her journey.
A Pirate’s Fortune introduces a thrilling new adventure centered around the Rokana Raiders crime gang and the Miyuki Trade League, the latter of which can enhance Kay's Trailblazer ship. Players can also enjoy a new blaster feature called Shock, adding depth to the combat experience.
Exciting news for Nintendo fans: Star Wars Outlaws is set to hit the Nintendo Switch 2 on September 4. While Rechner kept details under wraps regarding new features for this platform, he teased that more information is on the horizon. "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 hinted. Potential enhancements for the Switch 2 version could include utilizing the console's controllers as a mouse and integrating a new GameChat capability.
