Today marks the release of the first story expansion for *Star Wars Outlaws* with the launch of the "A Pirate’s Fortune" DLC, available across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. The addition of the beloved character Hondo Ohnaka, a Weequay pirate known from the Darth Maul comics and *Star Wars: The Clone Wars* animated series, has fans buzzing with excitement.
Drew Rechner, Creative Director at Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, shared insights on the inspiration behind the 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 in an interview with IGN. He highlighted the thematic blend of Kay's journey into leadership and the mentorship, or perhaps the lack thereof, provided by Hondo, adding depth to the narrative.
The "A Pirate’s Fortune" DLC introduces a new storyline involving the Rokana Raiders crime gang and the Miyuki Trade League, which can supply Kay with upgrades for her 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 launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on September 4. While Rechner remained tight-lipped about specific new features for this platform, he assured fans that more information would be forthcoming. "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 mentioned, hinting at potential enhancements like utilizing the Switch 2's controllers as a mouse and a new GameChat capability.
