Star Wars Outlaws’ Lando-centric “Wild Card” DLC expansion finally has a release date, and some additional free content is also on the way for players. Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment released Star Wars Outlaws in late August 2024, giving fans the chance to explore the criminal underbelly of the Outer Rim as aspiring scoundrel Kay Vess and her expanding crew of rogues. Star Wars Outlaws earned mostly positive reviews upon release, though Ubisoft recently announced that it hasn’t quite reached the publisher’s sales expectations.
Nonetheless, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment are still planning to expand the already vast world of Star Wars Outlaws with story-based DLC. The first of this new content was a side mission involving Kay’s droid partner ND-5 trying to clear a debt with Tatooine’s infamous gangster Jabba the Hutt, but this drew controversy for being locked behind the game’s Season Pass on day one. At least two other DLC expansions are confirmed for Star Wars Outlaws, titled “Wild Card” and “A Pirate’s Fortune.”
The former now has an official release date, as announced by Ubisoft this week (via VGC). Star Wars Outlaw’s “Wild Card” DLC expansion will launch on November 21 and will see Kay cross paths with the legendary scoundrel Lando Calrissian to infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament. In addition to this new story quest, Ubisoft confirmed that there will be free content for all Star Wars Outlaws players released on this date in the form of new Contract missions.
Star Wars Outlaws Wild Card DLC Release Date
Just like the previously-mentioned Jabba, Lando actually appears in the base Star Wars Outlaws, albeit as an Expert who can grant Kay new abilities by completing a specific sidequest and fulfilling certain abilities. She first meets the renowned gambler on Akiva, and helping him retrieve his lucky Sabacc token unlocks a new tree of card game and stealth-based skills. Story-wise, Star Wars Outlaws takes place between Lando’s regretful betrayal of Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back and his assistance in rescuing his friend from Jabba at the beginning of Return of the Jedi.
Players will get to see more of Lando Calrissian in action on November 21 when the Star Wars Outlaws “Wild Card” DLC launches. Incidentally, November 21 is also the day that Star Wars Outlaws is released on Steam, something that Ubisoft hopes will bolster the game’s troubling sales figures. Not much is currently known about the second Star Wars Outlaws DLC pack titled “A Pirate’s Fortune,” save that it will feature the fan-favorite pirate captain Hondo Ohnaka and will launch sometime in the spring of 2025.
