Star Wars Outlaws Reveals DLC “A Pirate’s Fortune” Release Date

by

The sequel Story Pack DLC for “Star Wars Outlaws,” titled “A Pirate’s Fortune,” is set to drop in May. The trailer reveals a fresh narrative where Kay Vess joins forces with a new character to chase after wealth concealed amid perilous risks. Despite a bumpy debut back in August 2024, “Star Wars Outlaws” continues to stir debate within the expansive game franchise for this iconic series. Developers praise it as the initial open-world environment, but it was met with mixed feedback at launch due to optimization issues and persistent bugs that affected the gameplay experience, especially for PC gamers.

As a gamer, I’ve been feeling a tad frustrated with fellow gamers over Ubisoft’s relentless work on DLC for our beloved game. They’re not slowing down one bit, even after the initial “Wild Card” Story Pack dropped alongside the game itself. Each new expansion comes at a price tag of $14.99, but if you splurged on the Gold Edition when we first dove into this virtual world, you got both Story Packs as part of the package for a cool hundred and nine bucks.

Star Wars Outlaws “A Pirate’s Fortune” DLC Announced With New Trailer

The “Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune” expansion will become available on all platforms on May 15, 2025. At this time, we don’t have details about the duration of the DLC or any specific in-game conditions required to access the content. In the upcoming “Star Wars Outlaws” chapter hinted at in the “A Pirate’s Fortune” trailer, Kay Vess joins forces with a roaming alien to hunt for a hidden treasure. Their mission involves breaking out of prison, fighting off adversaries in perilous locations, and maneuvering through challenging space environments to find the sought-after hoard.

As a devoted fan, I must admit my disappointment upon observing just brief glimpses of action during the trailer for Outlaws. The space fight and gunfights shown are reminiscent of what we’ve come to expect from this game, but unfortunately, they don’t appear to offer anything fresh or innovative in terms of combat mechanics.

As a dedicated Star Wars Outlaws gamer, I’ve been thrilled with the numerous updates since its launch, aiming to boost performance and squash those pesky bugs we gamers have reported. Yet, there’s been scant info on what lies ahead for the game post “A Pirate’s Fortune” release. This might be a tad disappointing for us who invested in the enhanced versions of the game, anticipating a year-long content extravaganza as promised by the “Season Pass”.

At present, Ubisoft hasn’t given any hints about planning more content for the game after the DLC launch, although they might still surprise us with additional announcements.

If you’re eagerly awaiting the release of “A Pirate’s Fortune” and want to experience all its main storylines before the DLC drops, it would be wise to dive into the game as soon as possible and complete any outstanding plot points. Unfortunately, details about what prerequisites are needed to access the DLC content haven’t been disclosed yet. The additional content might be part of the later stages of the game or something players can unlock early on. To guarantee that you’re ready for the new material when it launches, completing the main story is your best bet.

If you’re among those who haven’t purchased “Star Wars Outlaws” yet or are considering it after mixed reviews, now might be an excellent opportunity to buy the base game and the available DLC packs. The Gold Edition, which includes the base game and both DLCs, is still a good investment to save some money. Keep in mind that upgraded editions could disappear following the launch of the DLCs, so buying it early might help you secure the best price possible.
