The series goes fully next-genThe next entry in Cal Kestis' journey has been officially revealed. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was officially revealed today during Star Wars Celebration.
This new game will be a sequel to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/), and will continue to follow Cal Kestis and BD-1. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is targeting 2023, and is being developed for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
In today's teaser, we get a look at some of what's in store. There are lightsaber battles, the machinations of the Empire, and a mysterious body floating in a tube.

The story of Jedi: Survivor will take place five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Still pursued by the Empire as one of the last Jedi in the galaxy, Cal and BD-1 are still running and learning, as the former continues to forge a connection with the Force.
Respawn Entertainment is still at the helm for this new entry, and game director Stig Asmussen says in a press release that the team had a vision in place for the sequel "even before completing" Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
The Force beckonsThis also marks the Jedi series' jump onto only next-gen consoles. While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order did receive a next-gen update (https://www.destructoid.com/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-next-gen-upgrade-now-live-on-ps5-and-xbox-series-x/), it had launched on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The potential for next-gen lightsaber battles definitely has me intrigued.
While today was the official reveal of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the existence of a follow-up to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has been confirmed for a while now. Lucasfilm Games and Electronic Arts confirmed the follow-up was in development (https://www.destructoid.com/three-star-wars-games-coming-from-respawn-ea-lucasfilm-news/) back in January. And GamesBeat confirmed the name (https://twitter.com/GamesBeat/status/1525223083291815936) Jedi: Survivor earlier this month.
Still, it's a pretty exciting confirmation to have. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a fairly resounding success (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/) in reviving the single-player Star Wars game, and seeing it get support for a sequel is great. Two more Star Wars projects are in development at EA as well. One is a new shooter from Respawn and the director behind Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. The other is a strategy game from some strategy veterans at Bit Reactor.
