In a blog post, Ubisoft confirmed that the Star Wars Outlaws season pass will include content divided into three release windows. On launch day, season pass owners will gain access to a character pack and the previously confirmed Jabba’s Gambit exclusive mission. Star Wars Outlaws’ season pass previously received controversy earlier this year when Ubisoft revealed that it was locking the Jabba above’s Gambit mission behind the Season Pass. However, Ubisoft insisted that Jabba the Hutt will be available to all players, not just season pass holders.
More interestingly, Ubisoft confirmed that two DLC story expansions will be released in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, respectively. The first story pack subtitled Wild Card, will see Outlaw’s protagonist Kay “hired to infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament.” This story DLC pack will also see Kay cross paths with Star Wars character Lando Calrissian.
The second story, DLC, subtitled A Pirate’s Fortune, will have Kay running into an experienced pirate named Hondo Ohnaka, who Ubisoft described as someone “looking to settle old scores with a ruthless gang of pirates.”
In our final hands-on preview with Star Wars Outlaws, my colleague Ryan McCaffrey wrote: “Open-world games tend to be jacks-of-all-trades, masters-of-none, and while I’m not sure Outlaws will master any of its gameplay components, it nonetheless not only does them all very well, but it does so with a convincing Star Wars sheen.”
Star Wars Outlaws is out on August 27 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. For more, check out our IGN First coverage from last June, which includes 10 minutes of exclusive gameplay and our piece on how Ubisoft created a brand new canon world for Star Wars: Outlaws.
