A new report from Insider Gaming claims that the release date for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be announced at The Game Awards. This year's award show will take place on December 8 at 5:00 p.m. PT / 8:00 p.m. ET.
Sources claim the announcement will be made around 30 minutes into the show and include a new trailer as well as pre-order information. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was given a 2023 release window when it was announced earlier this year. Industry insider Jeff Grubb claimed the game will release in March 2023, while EA's own release calendar seems to back that with a "Major IP" release scheduled for Q4 (ends March 31, 2023).
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the highly anticipated sequel to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The game picks up five years after the events of Fallen Order with Cal, now a Jedi, still on the run from the Empire. A teaser trailer for the game seemed to suggest that much of the progress we had made in the first game had been undone as Cal appears to once again be on his own.
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.
Development of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is led by Stig Asmussen, who served as the director on the first game as well.
“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,” Asmussen said back in May when the sequel was revealed. “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."
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was developed for next-gen consoles and will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
