Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order that Respawn Entertainment first announced earlier this year, is happening.

At the Star Wars Celebration event in Anaheim; the studio revealed that Jedi: Survivor is a direct sequel to Star Wars: Fallen Order; which is an action-adventure game released back in 2019. Survivor is set five years after the events of its predecessor; and will still feature the protagonist Cal Kestis ;as one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy that’s ruled by the Empire.

Star Wars Jedi: SurvivorΒ is the follow-up to Respawn’s 2019 third-person action-adventureΒ Star WarsΒ game,Β Fallen Order. Like that game, this new sequel stars Cal Kestis; a former Jedi who is on the run from the Empire alongside a ragtag group of misfits and outsiders. Y’know, classicΒ Star WarsΒ stuff.

The newly announced sequel is being led once again by former God of War director Stig Asmussen and a press release sent over by EA confirmed the game will be a PS5/Xbox Series X/S only release. Sorry, PS4 and Xbox One owners.

Here’s how EA describes the game via its press release:

Star Wars Jedi: SurvivorΒ picks up five years after the events ofΒ 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.Β Jedi: SurvivorΒ will expand on the series’ dynamic combat in new and innovative ways. To survive, Cal must learn new skills and grow his connection with the Force.”
