No way home
Respawn and Electronic Arts have shared the latest trailer forStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, with a spotlight on the story. And it seems like a rough road ahead for Cal and pals.
Survivortakes place five years after the events ofStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, with Cal now searching for a safe haven. He might be a more powerful Jedi than ever before, but the Empire doesn’t seem too happy to let the conflict lie.
Today’s trailershows Cal fighting even more Empire troops, with some intimidating foes showing up. But Kestis also looks like he’ll have a bit more help around this time, too.
Alongside some new faces, we do catch one familiar one sporting a new look. As Respawn confirms,Merrin is returningforStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, with a new style and apparently assisting Cal in thinning out the Empire’s ranks.
A place beyond the stars
When it landed in 2019,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderwas a bit of a surprise. A single-player, action-adventureStar Warsgame from the studio that had, up to that point, worked on games likeTitanfallandApex Legends, withGod of War‘s Stig Asmussen on to direct.
The result really worked though, as it received apositive critical receptionandsold enough to make EA happy. Even as someone a little bit jaded with currentStar Wars, I enjoyed the mobility and tense lightsaber action. It’s nice to see some of that action still at the fore in this latestStar Wars Jedi: Survivortrailer.
I’m definitely curious to see if Respawn can bottle (Force) lightning twice. And boy, has this release date snuck up on me, too.Star Wars Jedi: Survivorwill launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on April 28.
