Respawn, Lucasfilm Games and Electronic Arts (EA) have officially announced their next Star Wars title. Set for release in 2023, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will continue the story of Cal Kestis, a Jedi who survived the purge of Order 66.
Taking place five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the new story will follow Cal and his trusty droid companion BD-1 as they will have to stay one step ahead of the Empire. The first trailer for the game, which was shown at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California, gave fans a first look at some of the locations Cal will be travelling to during the story.
Speaking about the game, Respawn game director Stig Asmussen said “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. For Jedi: Survivor we are working in lockstep with Lucasfilm Game 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 is currently in development for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC for a 2023 release. Watch the first trailer below.
