Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune DLC releases in May, Switch 2 version coming later

The grand opening ceremony for Star Wars Celebration began in Japan last Thursday night. During an extensive welcome, those present and watching online were given a sneak peek of the upcoming DLC for Star Wars Outlaws, entitled “A Pirate’s Fortune.

At this year’s Star Wars Celebration event, Drew Rechner, Creative Director of Star Wars Outlaws, presented the latest DLC trailer live. The video depicts characters Kay Vess and Nix finding themselves in fresh trouble with the cunning pirate Hondo Ohnaka. Their mission is to discover the Khepi Tomb for a potential treasure find; however, they must remain vigilant against various enemy factions lurking throughout the galaxy. Among these adversaries is a new one called Stinger Tash and her Rokana Raiders. This adventure could be profitable if they manage to survive, with Hondo possibly keeping Kay for additional smuggling tasks, which would benefit everyone financially.

Besides what’s already announced for Star Wars Outlaws, there are more exciting developments to look forward to. If you’ve been keeping up with our Outlaws series on Shacknews, you might know that the game initially struggled in sales but has significantly improved post-launch due to a significant title update introducing several user-friendly improvements. To truly experience these changes, players will soon have the chance to test things out themselves with a new demo set on the iconic planet of Tatooine. This demo will catapult players into the narrative a few hours ahead and provide a sneak peek of the open world gameplay.

In summary, as mentioned during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the game Star Wars Outlaws is indeed planned for Nintendo’s upcoming hardware. Although it received a release date at Star Wars Celebration, it won’t be available at the console’s launch. Instead, fans will have to hold on until the Labor Day holiday to embark on their Star Wars adventures with their new Nintendo devices.

As a gamer eagerly anticipating the next adventure, I’m thrilled to share that “Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune” sets sail on all our favorite gaming platforms this coming Thursday, May 15th. And here’s a piece of exciting news – you can dive into the action right now with the free demo available!

Mark your calendars again for September 4th, Nintendo Switch gamers, as we’re preparing to release the Star Wars Outlaws experience on the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Can’t wait to join me in this galaxy far, far away!
