Star Wars Outlaws: A Tribute to Hondo Ohnaka's Pirate Legacy

Today marks the exciting release of the first story expansion for *Star Wars Outlaws* with the launch of the *A Pirate’s Fortune* DLC, available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The driving force behind this new content? None other than the beloved Weequay pirate, Hondo Ohnaka, who fans will remember from the *Darth Maul* comics and *Star Wars: The Clone Wars* animated series.

Drew Rechner, Creative Director at Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, shared insights with IGN 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. The expansion not only brings Hondo into the fold but also delves deeper into protagonist Kay's journey toward leadership, with Hondo serving as a mentor—or perhaps something more ambiguous.

*A Pirate’s Fortune* introduces players to a thrilling new adventure involving the Rokana Raiders crime gang and the Miyuki Trade League, which can provide Kay with crucial upgrades for her Trailblazer ship. Additionally, players can look forward to a new blaster capability called Shock, adding a fresh twist to the gameplay.

In other exciting news, *Star Wars Outlaws* is set to hit the Nintendo Switch 2 on September 4. While Rechner kept details under wraps regarding any new features exclusive to this platform, he teased 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 hinted. Potential features on the Switch 2 that could enhance the gaming experience include controllers that can function as a mouse and a new GameChat capability.
