Electronic Arts has said that Respawn is developing “the final chapter” of its Star Wars Jedi story.

Laura Miele, president of EA Entertainment and Technology, mentioned the project during a presentation at the company’s investor relations day on Tuesday.

“We have delivered some of the highest quality and best-selling Star Wars games of all-time, with over $5 billion in net bookings,” she said.

“This impressive track record includes of course the Star Wars Jedi games, where over 40 million Star Wars fans have connected with Cal Kestis and his arc of becoming a powerful Jedi.

“Respawn is working hard to bring the final chapter of this thrilling story to players.”

Stig Asmussen, the director of 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and 2023’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, left Respawn last year and has since formed a new studio.

Before he left, Asmussen had said he hoped to make a third Star Wars Jedi game because he always envisaged it as a three-game story arc.

“I always wanted to see this as a trilogy,” he told IGN at the time, speaking about the second game, Survivor. “How can we take Cal and the crew to new places beyond what we were doing in the first game?

“We had a pretty decent idea of timeframe where we wanted Survivor to take place, what the stakes were going to be, what the tone of the game was going to be, what Cal was going to be up against, and how the crew was going to factor into that. And there’s ideas of what we could do beyond that as well.”

The games have issues, but I completed them both and think they're worth playing. Part 2 has as much platforming as a Prince of Persia game at times. Hope they keep that going.

I just hope they manage to optimize the game before launch.
FFS, Jedi: Fallen Order is still a broken mess with stutters.
And Jedi: survivor took them almost a year.

Been playing Jedi Survivor past few days, and pretty addicted to it. Exploring these massive worlds which are full of collectables, finding it hard to put down.
It also runs surprisingly well on my 1080ti (1080p/60 High settings), i feared the worst after all the horror stories about the games performance.

Bring on the 3rd game!.

Fucking christ Stig mustve had some serious reasons to bail out 2/3 into a fucking trilogy

And I dont trust whoever takes the reigns

 

[Flabagast]

what is the best mode to play Jedi Survivor on PS5 ? Quality with RT (I like RT) or performance ?

 

[Bitstream]

Going to pick up survivor soon now that the performance issues are finally ironed out

This is a 30 vs 60 question. Performance mode has been patched to hell and back since its original launch and now runs at a pretty good nearly locked 60 FPS.

 

[diffusionx]

Yea I'm good.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Such good games let down by their bad performance.

Shame. I think they would've had a big hit if they just spent more time optimising.

in this case the 30 fps mode appears to be significantly more visually enhanced that 60 due to RT. Just want to know if the impact on overall presentation is worth it !

If they switch to some new UE5 version they will at least fix some CPU problems (and maybe traversal stutters as well).

What's funny is that JS is a DAMN GOOD looking game on UE4, it looks better than most UE5 games.

IMO, it isn't. The Non RT mode actually looks sharper cause it doesn't need to do aggressive DRS drops to compensate. And it's a faster paced action game so a higher FPS will make it feel better to play it.

 

[Thief1987]

Will it be as generic and soulless as the first two?

 

[Nankatsu]

Currently the best Star Wars medium are the games featuring Cal.

Let's see how they finish the trilogy.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Remove denuvo from the game and fix the fucking performance, you fucking clowns.

I'm sure the console versions are dogshit when it comes to performance, too.

[The_Observer]

Awesome, loved both games, especially the second. But it’s not too promising that the director is gone, tbh

They should kill off that utterly unlikable witch bitch girlfriend of his and then have him go on some John Wick revenge quest where he fully embraces the dark side.

He became a bit of a badass towards the end of Survivor. They should just go all the way.

He'll kill her off and end up with a dude at the end like a blend of Shameless.

 

[Fortress of Regrets]

The latest one was quite good, except for the technical issues. I can do a third, but they really, really need to deliver a technically competent game this time.

Cal definitely looks like enjoys a Royal with Cheese

Is there a non-binary in the story that can kill Cal and take over the main character slot?

 

[kevboard]

how broken and unfinished will this one be?
place your bets now!

 

[Chuck Berry]

Is there a non-binary in the story that can kill Cal and take over the main character slot?

Yeah, but you kill it about a 1/3 of the way through Survivor

[Chuck Berry]

What'd I do? You like Merrin?

Gross bro. Gross.

Honestly Id rather Cal be sticking it in Debra Wilson's character. Maybe he could then convince her to stop at Mos Eisley for a fucking weave.

 

[Arsic]

Enjoyed both games immensely.

Just hope they can get performance right this go around.

I wish devs weren’t forced to makes series S titles. To be fair they put this on ps4 pro too now so…. No excuses to get it running well.

As far as modern SW stuff goes, Kestis games are actually good.
Hopefully they do not fuck it up and improve technical aspect.

I still wish Kyle Katarn would come back though.

 

[Games of Today]

Part 1: Pretty cool, but it looked like he shit his pants while running.
Part 2: REALLY sick opening, improved running animation (still not perfect), more depth to the combat.
Part 3: Hopefully they perfect all of the animations and give us Tatooine, Hoth and some full original trilogy planets.

 

[Sephimoth]

Been playing Survivor very sparsely on and off past couple months.

Gameplay is good, but nearly all characters so far are extremely boring and generic- like most games nowadays

 

[Moses85]

PS5 Pro

 

[stn]

I'm down, the games are quite good. Very safe in terms of story, but good overall.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

those games are good, despite the bugs and some jankyness.

 

[Badlucktroll]

i bet they will put kal kestis in one of those disney shows

 

[dmaul1114]

Loved the first two games, 100% down for a third.

More Star Wars shite? No thanks.

Yeah no, Star Wars is supposed to be optimistic.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Yeah no, Star Wars is supposed to be optimistic.

Yeah because Empire was so optimistic right?

Oops it’s the best movie out of the entire franchise.

All I'm hearing is that I'm going to have to continue waiting for Titanfall 3.
