EA announced that Star Wars Jedi: Survival, the eagerly awaited sequel to 2019's action-adventure from Respawn Entertaniment, will release in 2023. The game will only be available on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor continues the adventure of Cal Kestis, and is set five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. But it appears that much of what we worked towards in the first game has vanished. Cal Kestis is once again on his own, accompanied only by his buddy droid BD-1, and it seems his lightsaber has fallen into the hands of the Empire. Admittedly, we don't know much about the plot right now, but it seems Cal faces another uphill battle against the Empire as he continues to be hunted as one of the last remaining Jedi.
EA did offer a brief synopsis for the game, teasing new and interesting characters, dynamic combat, and new Force skills. Check out the synopsis and tralier below.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor picks up five years after the events of Jedi: Fallen Order. Cal must stay one step ahead of the Empire’s constant pursuit as he begins to feel the weight of being one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy. Accompanied by his trusty companion BD-1, Cal will meet and ally himself with an array of unique and interesting characters on his journey. Jedi: Survivor will expand on the series’ dynamic combat in new and innovative ways. In order to survive, Cal must learn new skills and grow his connection with the Force.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was both a critical and commercial success for Respawn and a sequel was pretty much invetiable. But according to Jedi: Survivor game director Stig Asmussen, who helmed the predecessor as well, there was always a planned vision for a larger adventure.
“Even before completing Jedi: Fallen Order, our team had a vision of how to carry the adventure for Cal, BD, and the crew into the sequel,” said Stig Asmussen. “For Jedi: Survivor, we are working in lockstep with Lucasfilm Games to build on the legacy of Jedi: Fallen Order. We’re leveraging advanced technology to create more dynamic Jedi combat and cinematic storytelling to expand on Cal’s story as he matures and survives during the dark times. We can’t wait to share more about the game with the world later this year.”
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will release in 2023 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. We'll hopefully get a look at gameplay later this year.
