Star Wars Outlaws to add fan-favorite Hondo Ohnaka in post-launch DLC

Ubisoft announced the post-launch road map for the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws in a blog post on Monday, and will introduce two paid story packs, one of which is coming out this fall.

The first DLC, titled Wild Card, is set for fall 2024. It involves Outlaws‘ main character Kay Vess going undercover at a “high-stakes Sabacc tournament,” where she runs into Lando Calrissian. The second, set for spring 2025, is called A Pirate’s Fortune and features, as Star Wars: The Clone Wars or Galaxy’s Edge fans might guess, pirate king Hondo Ohnaka, who is looking to “settle old scores.”

The roadmap also reveals two cosmetic bundles for Season Pass owners. With Wild Card comes the Hunter’s Legacy and Cartel Ronin bundles. Both come with outfits for Kay and animal companion Nix, along with cosmetics for Kay’s speeder and ship.

Wild Card and A Pirate’s Fortune are free for Season Pass owners, but are also available as standalone purchases.

The post also reiterates the details about the exclusive Jabba’s Gambit mission. While the original announcement seemed to imply that only Season Pass owners will be able to interact with Jabba the Hutt and his syndicate in Outlaws, Ubisoft later clarified that Jabba will be in the main game, but Season Pass owners will get access to an exclusive mission called Jabba’s Gambit. This seems to be an optional, additional mission that won’t have a ton of impact on the main game — specifically your reputations with certain syndicates — but we’ll know more when it’s released.

The open-world sci-fi action RPG releases on August 30 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, and will take place between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in the Star Wars continuity. To get the Season Pass, you’ll need to order the Gold or Ultimate edition, and it’s going to cost you. The former costs $110 and comes with the Kessel Runner preorder bonus and three days of early access. The latter costs $130 and comes with what’s in the Gold edition, and includes two different cosmetic bundles and a digital art book. You can also get access to the Ultimate edition if you have a Ubisoft+ Premium subscription for $18 per month.

It’s unclear at the time of writing how much the story packs will cost individually.

All Trophies and Achievements in Star Wars Outlaws

A spacecraft evades enemies.

Star Wars Outlaws invites you to get engrossed in not one, but many worlds. While it does share a lot of commonalities with other Ubisoft titles, specifically the best open-world games, it does break the mold in some appealing ways. Playing as a non-Force sensitive rogue named Kay, you will dive deep into the criminal underbelly of smugglers, rogues, and mercenaries all across the galaxy.

While it remains to be seen if it will be one of the best Star Wars games, we do know it has a very appealing list of Trophies and Achievements. Those who like to 100% games tend to shy away from Ubisoft games as of late for the sheer bloat of them, but Star Wars Outlaws might be more manageable. If you want to know what types of challenges await on your path to the Platinum, here are all the Trophies and Achievements in Star Wars Outlaws.

Star Wars Outlaws preload guide: release time, file size, and preorder

Kay Vass joined by her small alien companion called Nix in a futuristic city.

It's strange to think that of all the best Star Wars games, not one has been a true open-world experience. Ubisoft is looking to fix that with Star Wars Outlaws, which is among the most anticipated upcoming games of 2024. Taking place between episodes 4 and 5 of the original trilogy, we will explore a new side of the galaxy far, far away through the eyes of Kay Vess and her little alien buddy, Nix. Combining stealth, shooting, space combat, and more, Star Wars Outlaws is looking like a breath of fresh air for a franchise that can't seem to break away from the Force and lightsabers. But before you hop on your speeder and pull out your blaster, let's plan out this heist by telling you all about the preload options, file size, and preorders for Star Wars Outlaws.
Star Wars Outlaws release time

Star Wars Outlaws will be released on August 30, but the specific time has not been revealed just yet. We assume it will be midnight ET, but will update you once the times have been confirmed.

Sony has revealed the three games that will be available to subscribers of all PlayStation Plus tiers throughout August, and it's a fantastic batch of games. Starting August 6, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights will be available to redeem.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the latest entry in one of the most iconic series of licensed video games out there. It's more ambitious than many other Lego games, as it gives players several intricately recreated worlds to explore in addition to playful retellings of all nine films in the mainline Star Wars saga. It's kid-friendly and fun in co-op, so it's the PS Plus game to download this August if you're looking for something to play with your family.
