Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – Everything we know
Experience the next chapter of Cal Kestis' journey in this third person, narrative-driven action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment.
Five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor picks up. As one of the few remaining Jedi, Cal must constantly keep one step ahead of the Empire’s relentless pursuit.
Jedi: Survivor, created by the seasoned Respawn Entertainment team, will build on the exhilarating combat found in Jedi: Fallen Order as well as the legendary Star wars storylines, worlds, and characters.
Release date of Star wars Jedi: Survivor
The release date is somewhere in 2023. While Jedi: Survivor is progressing similarly to its predecessor, neither Respawn nor LucasFilm Games have officially announced a more precise release date. EA first unveiled Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order at Star Wars Celebration in 2018. It was then released in November 2019. It appears realistic to anticipate Jedi: Survivor 2, which the Apex Legend creator has been working on for three years, to release in Fall 2023.
The storyÂ
The Star Wars Jedi: Survivor plot starts up five years after Jedi: Fallen Order. To remind you, it ended with Cal Kestis forgoing the opportunity to revive the Jedi Order in order to protect children who are Force-sensitive from the Empire. As one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy, Cal must “do everything it takes to stay alive” in Jedi: Survivor. Respawn promises it will have a darker tone. This may entail “creating friendships with people that, in other times, may be deemed unpleasant,” the game’s director Stig Asmussen teases, further portraying the gloomy circumstances in which Cal and his allies find themselves.
The gameplay
Respawn hasn’t yet made any gameplay footage available to the public, but the company has talked about how it handles progression and combat. Respawn is “leveraging new technology” of the PS5 and Xbox Series X to “create more dynamic Jedi combat,” according to game director Stig Asmussen. Including that “Jedi: Survivor will add new and creative approaches to the series’ dynamic combat. Cal needs to develop his use of the Force and acquire new skills in order to survive.”
Will Star Wars Jedi: Survivor be next-gen only?
The next-gen exclusive game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This means you cant use last-gen consoles, which is unfortunate for people who haven’t had the opportunity to upgrade yet. More and more next-gen-only games are appearing, such as Tekken 8 and Forspoken. Maybe it’s finally time to upgrade to a PC or console from the current generation.
Closing thoughts
Since there isn’t much information available about the game, it is hard to say anything. However, the way Cal’s story is going, we must say – it will certainly be very interesting. The only shame about this game is that it’s a next-gen exclusive which will make a lot of fans left out.
