When the galaxy’s favorite smuggler-without-a-plan Kay Vess returns in Star Wars Outlaws, she won’t be flying solo. The first major DLC, titled “A Pirate’s Fortune,” is officially on the radar, and yes—it features the return of one of Star Wars’ most delightfully unpredictable characters: Hondo Ohnaka.
The expansion is set to arrive in Spring 2025, and if the base game wasn’t already packed with enough galactic mischief, bounty dodging, and shady deals, this DLC is here to double down on the chaos.
Let’s break down everything we know so far about A Pirate’s Fortune—from its timeline to its treasure trove of potential gameplay updates.
🏴☠️ Hondo Ohnaka Returns in A Pirate’s Fortune
If there’s one character who knows how to survive, profit, and occasionally stumble into heroism in a galaxy run by scoundrels, it’s Hondo. The Weequay pirate, first introduced in The Clone Wars, is confirmed to appear in the A Pirate’s Fortune DLC, and his involvement alone is worth a few credits.
Whether he’s guiding Kay Vess to a lucrative haul or double-crossing her for one of his “totally legitimate” business opportunities is anyone’s guess. But Hondo’s presence promises charisma, chaos, and probably a couple of new voice lines that’ll make it into your personal quote collection.
🧭 New Story Content and Gameplay Adventures
Ubisoft hasn’t revealed the full details yet, but the phrase “story expansion” is front and center. That means we’re likely getting:
- ✨ A new narrative arc with Hondo at the helm (or at least in the vicinity of the helm, possibly stealing the helm)
- 🪐 New explorable locations — possibly pirate outposts, hidden sectors, or old Separatist scrapyards full of loot and surprises
- 🔫 Expanded missions that tie into the galactic criminal underworld
The story will most likely continue Kay Vess’s journey deeper into the fringes of the galaxy—where credits talk louder than blasters, and alliances change faster than a speeder on Mos Espa sands.
🎮 How It Fits Into the Star Wars Outlaws Experience
A Pirate’s Fortune looks like it will slot neatly into the base Outlaws game, potentially as a mid- or late-game detour (or delicious side quest arc) that taps into Kay’s rising notoriety. Given that the main game focuses on exploration and reputation, working with Hondo could open up a unique path—one that lets you earn rare gear, ship upgrades, or just some good old-fashioned galactic chaos.
And if we’re being honest, any excuse to steal, smuggle, or sabotage under the supervision of Hondo Ohnaka is worth taking.
🗓️ Release Date for A Pirate’s Fortune
The DLC is scheduled for release in Spring 2025, though no exact day has been confirmed yet. That gives players plenty of time to either finish (or replay) the main campaign and brush up on their pirate diplomacy skills.
No word yet on pricing, but considering it’s the first major DLC, it may be bundled with season pass options or offered as standalone content for players who prefer to pick and choose their galaxy-spanning adventures.
🛒 Will You Need the Base Game?
Yes—A Pirate’s Fortune will be an expansion for Star Wars Outlaws, so you’ll need the full game to access this new content. No surprise there, but just in case you were planning to jump straight into the DLC, make sure you’ve got your ship, your crew, and your charming droid companion already warmed up.
🎯 Final Thoughts
A Pirate’s Fortune is shaping up to be a wild ride through the outer rim’s underworld, led by the ever-charismatic (and possibly untrustworthy) Hondo Ohnaka. For a DLC title, this one has serious potential—not just for deepening Kay Vess’s story but for adding new layers of pirate-fueled gameplay.
From dodging double-crosses to digging up buried secrets, this is the kind of content that could make Star Wars Outlaws more than just a one-and-done experience. Whether you’re in it for the loot, the laughs, or the lore, spring 2025 can’t come soon enough.
