Ubisoft has revealed the post-launch roadmap for Star Wars Outlaws, including details on the story expansions contained within the game’s Season Pass. Owners of the Season Pass will have access to an exclusive mission featuring Jabba the Hutt as well as a skin pack for main character Kay Vess and her companion Nix right from the start.

Developer Massive has two Story Packs and two Cosmetic Bundles in the works for the six months after launch. Season Pass owners will get access to all of this content without any further costs, though the two Story Packs will be available for purchase separately as well.

Let’s take a look at the detailed Star Wars Outlaws roadmap below.

Star Wars Outlaws roadmap: Launch Day

On release day, the Jabba’s Gambit mission will be available in the game exclusively for those who own the Season Pass. Ubisoft emphasized that players can meet Jabba the Hutt without owning the Season Pass, as the notorious crime lord has a role to play in the game’s story. It’s just one specific mission that’s locked behind the extra paywall.

In addition to Jabba’s Gambit, Season Pass owners will get access to the Kessel Runner skin package, which contains outfits for Kay Vess and Nix. As you may be able to tell from the pack’s name, the skins therein are inspired by Han Solo and Chewbacca and allow you to cosplay as the famous smuggler duo.

Star Wars Outlaws roadmap: Story Pack 1 – Wild Card

  • Planned for Fall 2024

“Kay is hired to infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament, but as she crosses paths with the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, she soon learns that another game is being played,” the official description of the first Story Pack says.

Star Wars Outlaws roadmap: Cosmetic Bundles

  • Planned for Fall 2024

Two Cosmetic Bundles will be released alongside Story Pack 1 – Wild Card: The Hunter’s Legacy and Cartel Ronin packs will contain skins for Kay Vess, Nix, Kay’s speeder bike, and Kay’s starship, the Trailblazer. By the looks of things, Hunter’s Legacy will be inspired by Mandalorian aesthetics, while the Cartel Ronin pack may take inspiration from the visuals of Kijimi, one of the worlds Kay visits.

Star Wars Outlaws roadmap: Story Pack 2 – A Pirate’s Fortune

  • Planned for Spring 2025

“The Trailblazer’s reputation precedes Kay as she runs into veteran pirate Hondo Ohnaka, who is looking to settle old scores with a ruthless gang of pirates,” the official description of this Story Pack teases. 

Ubisoft

In case you’re confused about who Hondo is: The Weequay pirate was originally introduced during Star Wars: The Clone Wars as an antagonist who’d show up from time to time and became a bit of a fan favorite due to his humorous wit, which led to him working with the good guys more and more. He was brought back for Star Wars: Rebels as well, where he became something of a mentor for main character Ezra Bridger.

Significant concern emerges for Bengals, Joe Burrow

Significant concern emerges for Bengals, Joe Burrow

The Cincinnati Bengals defense has stepped up its game in training camp this summer, and it's giving the coaching staff some pause about Joe Burrow's protection. The Bengals were tied with the New York Giants giving up the 11th most sacks in the league last year (48). Given Burrow's importance to the team and long injury history dating back to his time at LSU, Cincinnati needs to see improvement from the offensive line. Per Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the Bengals' depth on the offensive line is a concern at training camp. During one practice, backups Cody Ford and Devin Cochran were seen getting first-team reps while starting right tackle Amarius Mims was sidelined dealing with a hand injury. But it's not just the backups that are a worry. Cincinnati is expected to give third-round rookie Dylan Fairchild the starting job at left guard. "On top of concern regarding rookie third-round pick Dylan Fairchild, currently the leader in the clubhouse to start at left guard, the cast of question marks lacking experience, floating behind the starting tackles, is startling," Dehner wrote. "If the Bengals had to play Cleveland this Sunday without Mims, they couldn’t tell you who would hold down the starting spot. "Meanwhile, the Bengals’ defensive line consistently produced disruptive reps, and they are a group lacking historically potent pass rushers in their own right...The Bengals just feel notably weak and inexperienced. When the rest of the offense is so stacked with talent, and the history of the performance in front of Burrow being what it is, that’s hard to look past right now." The Bengals decided to spend their money on pass catchers for Burrow. Given the results of the offense last season, it's easy to understand why Cincinnati wants Burrow to deliver the ball to exceptional athletes. The risk is that Burrow won't hold up behind an offensive line that is lacking investment. If injuries pile up during the regular season, it's a concern that will only increase.

Boston Bruins Forward Chooses to Walk Away From the NHL, Signs Multi-Year Deal Overseas

Jakub Lauko has flashed great potential as an NHLer, but now, the former third-round pick and current Boston Bruin is headed home after signing a new deal overseas. Back in 2018, the Boston Bruins used a third round pick on Czech forward Jakub Lauko, and after some promising seasons with the Providence Bruins in the AHL, it appeared as though they had a solid forward of the future on their hands. Since arriving in the NHL however, the 6-foot-1 centre has tallied just 11 goals and 28 points in 139 games played, and after putting up just 5 points in 18 games a season ago, many wondered if he indeed had a future in the National Hockey League. Now, that question has officially been answered, as the 25-year old has signed a deal overseas with HC Dynamite Pardubice of the Czech Extraliga, suggesting that he'll be heading home in 2025/26. While he was never a prolific scorer, Lauko was always seen as a very dynamic bottom-six player at the NHL level, but unfortunately he just hasn't been able to develop and consistently produce at the next level, and it's clear that he has disappointed in the league so far. At 25-years of age, there's plenty of time for Lauko to turn things around and find his way back to the NHL at some stage, but with the opportunity to play on the biggest stage back in his home country in a league that continues to grow in quality and popularity, he may want to spend the rest of his career there, but for now, he's got a great opportunity to do either one.

Surprising Marlins earn MLB first in sweep of Yankees

The Miami Marlins achieved a franchise first on Sunday. In doing so, they carved out an interesting place in MLB history. With a 7-3 victory over the Yankees, the Marlins swept New York for the first time in a series of three or more games. In doing so, the Marlins became the only team to have a winning record, including the postseason, against the Yankees. The Yankees now have a 22-21 record against the Marlins in the regular season. However, the Marlins won the 2003 World Series against the Yankees in six games, giving the Fish a 25-24 record all-time. The Marlins' victory on Sunday meant more than a unique place in baseball history. That victory evened the Marlins' record at 55-55, the first time they have been at .500 or better since April 15 (8-8). The Marlins are 30-14 in their last 44 games, tying the 2003 championship team for the best stretch (last done from June 18-Aug. 9) in franchise history. The Marlins defied expectations at the trade deadline, holding on to pitchers Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera. Their only trade involved sending outfielder Jesus Sanchez to Houston, acquiring pitcher Ryan Gusto and a pair of prospects. Expectations were that the Marlins were simply waiting for the offseason to trade those pitchers, as there may be a larger market. Instead, the generally inexperienced Marlins roster is growing and improving by the day. They have clawed back from a 24-40 start to the season to pull themselves into the NL wild-card conversation. Although a lot would need to go right for the Marlins to reach the playoffs this season, they could be a dangerous team over the rest of the season and beyond. The Yankees found that out the hard way.

Montreal’s Cap Strategy: Canadiens Face Hutson Contract Dilemma

Montreal’s Cap Strategy: Canadiens Face Hutson Contract Dilemma

As the NHL salary cap begins to rise significantly, young restricted free agents are finding themselves at the heart of a shifting contract landscape. For the Montreal Canadiens and defenseman Lane Hutson, that means determining a new contract that reflects his actual value—without disrupting the team’s internal structure. While fans eagerly await an extension for the skilled blueliner, Elliotte Friedman noted on his latest 32 Thoughts podcast episode that the Canadiens initially hoped to keep Hutson’s number under Nick Suzuki’s $7.875 million cap hit. Suzuki, the team’s captain and centerpiece forward, has been the financial benchmark for Montreal’s core. However, the market has moved. A contract like Noah Dobson’s—eight years at $9.5 million per season signed this summer—is now seen as a more realistic comp, which creates potential issues for the Canadiens and their contract negotiations moving forward. As one insider put it, teams and players are “still figuring out” the new sweet spot for long-term RFA deals, especially as they try to project future jumps in the salary cap. The good news is that Hutson is one of the few big deals the Canadiens have to worry about. Most of their key players are locked into what will be viewed as team-friendly deals over the next few seasons. Still, the Canadiens may ultimately have to accept that Hutson’s extension will land well above Suzuki’s figure, especially as the 2025-26 offseason sees another leap in the salary cap. Comparable defensemen will ink richer deals, and Hutson may be the best among them. Should Canadiens Push for Hutson Contract Extension, Or Will Hutson Wait? As is the case with many teams that have big-name UFA and RFA players waiting for the market to sort itself out, this is a fluid situation in Montreal. Hutson’s extension may be about timing. But with each passing day, the pressure grows on the Canadiens to strike a balance between rewarding a future star and preserving the peace on what players are being paid already by the team. Lane Hutson’s next contract won’t just shape his future—it might quietly reshape Montreal’s.
