September 07, 2022

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been hotly anticipated since the brilliant Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and we’ve got all the information you need to know right here.

Star Wars games used to be frequently released in the early 2000s, but have become somewhat of a rarity despite a new cinematic trilogy gracing screens. Respawn Entertainment and EA’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order surprised players with incredible performances and satisfying gameplay that even incorporated Souls-like elements!

Having received next-gen updates since November 2019, players are more than ready for their next adventure with Cal Kestis.

Respawn are familiar with the Star Wars franchise already.

Does Star Wars Jedi: Survivor have a release date yet?

According to the first trailer for Respawn Entertainment’s sequel, the latest installment of the franchise will arrive in 2023.

VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb correctly predicted Giant Bomb that Survivor “is going to be new-gen only, where it’s PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and then of course PC.”

“One of the reasons that they’re going to be able to do that is because it’s not coming out until 2023. This game is for sure now not coming out until 2023,” he finished.

Cal Kestis is rumored to appear in the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ show.

What platforms will it release on?

The new Star Wars game will release across the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. There will be no last generation release for the Fallen Order sequel from Respawn Entertainment.
