Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune Update – New Missions, Gear & Underworld Drama

Star Wars Outlaws is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s packing some serious pirate energy. Ubisoft’s open-world Star Wars adventure has just received a fresh update titled “A Pirate’s Fortune” — and it’s not just about looting credits or chasing bounties. There’s a whole new layer of rogue-flavored storytelling and underworld mechanics getting injected into the galaxy far, far away.

If the idea of ship heists, shady alliances, and dealing with the likes of Crimson Dawn makes your trigger finger twitch (in-game, of course), then this update is right up your asteroid belt.

Let’s dig into the meat (or synth-meat) of what’s new — no space map required.

What Is “A Pirate’s Fortune” All About?

This update is essentially a love letter to every Star Wars storyline that ever involved smuggling, betrayal, and a dash of spice trade drama.

Set against the backdrop of the Outer Rim’s chaotic criminal underworld, “A Pirate’s Fortune” drops players into a high-stakes expansion that introduces new missions, gear, factions, and moral choices. The focus? Pirates. Not the rum-and-parrot kind — the vibroblade-wielding, hyperspace-hopping kind.

Expect new narrative branches tied to infamous organizations like the Pyke Syndicate, Crimson Dawn, and even some newly introduced pirate clans that feel like they came straight out of a Boba Fett fever dream.

New Locations: Welcome to the Edge of the Galaxy

The update expands the map with previously unexplored territory — including Kijimi’s frozen remains and a reimagined Smuggler’s Moon. These aren’t just pretty set pieces either; they’re crammed with side quests, hidden crates, sketchy characters, and untrustworthy droids.

Kijimi (yes, the same one from The Rise of Skywalker) offers a chilly, post-First Order wasteland vibe perfect for those who like their missions laced with danger and emotional baggage. Meanwhile, the Smuggler’s Moon (Nar Shaddaa’s chaotic cousin) serves up some classic Star Wars noir vibes.

Translation: Bring a blaster and maybe a spare pair of boots.

Play It Your Way: Morality, Mechanics, and Mayhem

“A Pirate’s Fortune” isn’t just slapping on new quests. The update also adds morality-driven gameplay elements, which means every choice you make can shift how certain factions view you. Siding with one pirate lord might get you sweet gear — but make you a target for another.

Players can now form (or betray) alliances, take on morally grey missions, and experience dynamic consequences. Remember that Jawa you double-crossed in mission five? He might show up later… with friends. And possibly explosives.

New Gear, New Perks, New Ways to Cause Chaos

No update would be complete without new ways to upgrade your outlaw lifestyle.

“A Pirate’s Fortune” includes a whole arsenal of pirate-themed gear, from stealth-focused gadgets to heavy artillery for when diplomacy inevitably fails. Highlights include:

The Reaver Pulse Blaster – Think shotgun, but Star Wars.
Holo-Cloak Enhancer – Now you see me, now I don’t (until I’m behind you with a thermal detonator).
Custom ship decals – Because if you’re going to smuggle spice, you might as well do it in style.

There’s also a new ship companion AI named Splice, who comes with snarky one-liners and the ability to override enemy hacking systems. Is it useful? Absolutely. Is it annoying? Also yes. But it grows on you.

Storytelling That Dives Deeper into the Star Wars Underworld

This isn’t a surface-level content drop. “A Pirate’s Fortune” takes the already immersive storytelling of Star Wars Outlaws and pushes it further into narrative-driven territory. Expect new cinematic cutscenes, voice acting that doesn’t pull punches, and moral dilemmas that feel weightier than they should — especially when you’re deciding whether to hand over a stolen holocron or keep it for the black market.

In other words: choices matter. And sometimes, those choices come with a price (usually in credits or regrets).

How This Ties Into the Wider Star Wars Universe

For anyone who’s dabbled in Star Wars books, comics, or shows like The Clone Wars and Andor, this update is a candy store of lore. References to Maul’s criminal legacy, Solo’s Kessel Run, and even a few nods to High Republic smugglers are peppered throughout missions and dialogue.

It’s the kind of content that rewards players who know their coaxium from their kyber crystals — but doesn’t alienate newcomers either.

Final Thoughts: A Worthy Treasure Hunt

“A Pirate’s Fortune” doesn’t reinvent the galaxy — but it does expand it in a way that feels meaningful, chaotic, and wildly fun. Ubisoft clearly understands that the real heart of Star Wars isn’t just Jedi and Sith — it’s the messy, morally questionable middle ground where scoundrels thrive.

Whether you’re here for the loot, the lore, or just the chaos, this update is a strong reminder that being bad in the Star Wars universe is often just more fun.

And let’s be honest — we’ve all wanted to punch a Hutt at least once.
