If Respawn is successful, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor certainly won’t be the last we see of Cal Kestis, as the game’s director reveals he’d like to make a third action-adventure game.
As we inch closer and closer to the Star Wars Jedi Survivor release date, Respawn has revealed that it considers Cal’s Conflict Saga a trilogy rather than a few games.
Speaking to IGN Unfiltered, Jedi Survivor director Stig Asmussen reveals that the team was already considering a sequel before Fallen Order was released. “I mean, frankly, we were talking about beyond (Fallen Order). And those are conversations that, when you break this story with Lucasfilm, it’s like, ‘Well, where are we going with the second game?’
“I always wanted to see this as a trilogy,” he continues. “So how can we take Cal and the team to new places beyond what we were doing in the first game? We had a pretty good idea of the time frame, when we wanted Survivor to happen, what would be the stakes and the tone, what Cal would be up against and how the team would report on it.
“There are also ideas about what we could do beyond that,” he concludes. So yes, Star Wars fans, you can get excited now.
If you want to hear it for yourself, the corresponding segment starts at 2:50 p.m.
Asmussen also clarifies that a third game would be built on Unreal Engine 5 instead of Survivor’s Unreal Engine 4, calling it “a safe guess” given the number of games now launching with the shiny new engine.
For Star Wars fans, another Jedi game is of course a dream come true. Fallen Order was the first Star Wars game I played outside of Lego games as a kid, where I mostly ran around as General Grievous spinning my many lightsabers like a glowing mechanical tornado. Fallen Order added so much more depth to the franchise and pushed me to explore the larger world of the series, mostly because I loved The Nightsisters and Dathomir.
I hope the mysterious magic users make an appearance in Survivor, but either way, I’m beyond thrilled with its release. It’s worth checking Jedi Survivor’s system requirements before launch to make sure your PC can fit into the warp drive, and if you can, maybe try out some of the best Star Wars games while you wait for the day. of the launch.
