Ubisoft Reveals Post-Launch Content Roadmap for Star Wars Outlaws
With Star Wars Outlaws set to release in just a few weeks, Ubisoft has unveiled a detailed post-launch content roadmap that includes exciting additions like Lando Calrissian and Hondo Ohnaka as part of the paid Season Pass.
Season Pass Details
Launching on 30th August, Star Wars Outlaws offers a Season Pass included in the game’s Gold Edition (£95) and Ultimate Edition (£115). Players who opt for the Season Pass will immediately unlock the Vessel Runner Character Pack, featuring cosmetics for Kay and Nix, along with an exclusive mission called Jabba’s Gambit.
Concerns were raised earlier about Jabba the Hutt being locked behind a paywall, but Ubisoft clarified that the character would be available in the base game. However, the inclusion of Lando Calrissian and Hondo Ohnaka in the Season Pass may spark similar debates, especially since their appearance in the base game has not been confirmed yet.
Upcoming DLC
Lando Calrissian will make his debut in the first major DLC, Story Pack 1 – Wild Card, scheduled for this autumn. In this pack, Kay will navigate a Sabacc tournament where she crosses paths with the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian. Story Pack 1 also introduces two additional cosmetic bundles – Hunter’s Legacy and Cartel Ronin.
Meanwhile, Hondo Ohnaka will star in a second Story Pack titled A Pirate’s Fortune, set to release in the spring of 2025. This pack follows Kay as she encounters the veteran pirate Hondo Ohnaka, seeking to settle old scores with a gang of ruthless pirates.
Early Impressions
Eurogamer’s Chris Tapsell expressed some concerns about the open-world approach in Star Wars Outlaws, describing it as “worryingly dated” during his playthrough earlier this year. On the other hand, Ian Higton had a more positive outlook after four hours of gameplay in July, stating, “If you’re after a familiar, inoffensive bit of Star Wars, I don’t think this one will miss the mark.”
Availability
Star Wars Outlaws will be accessible on PC (via Epic and Ubisoft Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S upon its launch on 30th August.
