Redwood City, Calif. – April 13, 2019 – During a panel today at Star
Wars™ Celebration
in Chicago, Respawn Entertainment, a studio of Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA),
announced that Star Wars Jedi:
Fallen Order™, a new third-person action adventure game, will launch on November 15, 2019 on
Xbox One, PlayStation®4 and PC via Origin™.
The game will feature an authentic story set shortly after the events of Star
Wars: Revenge of the Sith™, when the Jedi have fallen. Fans will play as a young Padawan named Cal Kestis,
brought to life by Cameron Monaghan (Shameless,
Gotham), who has survived Order 66, the Emperor’s secret decree to eliminate all Jedi.
Players must pick up the pieces of Cal’s shattered past to complete his training
and master the art of the iconic lightsaber – all while staying one step ahead
of the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors.
“Many Star Wars fans,
ourselves included, are really interested in the dark times, so we wanted to
explore that mysterious, dangerous period,” said Stig Asmussen, Game Director,
Respawn Entertainment. “The team at Lucasfilm have been amazing collaborators,
helping us explore and further develop this part of the timeline where the
Empire is at the height of its power and any remaining Jedi are in hiding.
Within this narrative, we’ve crafted a game with intense, yet thoughtful and fun
melee combat using the lightsaber and Force powers, allowing anyone to fulfill
their Jedi fantasy.”
“When Respawn approached us with the idea for this game, we were immediately
supportive. A single player, story-driven title in the Star
Wars universe
was exactly what we were looking for, and we know the fans have been eager for
one, as well,” said Steve Blank, Director, Franchise Content & Strategy,
Lucasfilm Story Group. “Focusing on Cal stepping back into the shoes of a Jedi
post Order 66 opens up a lot of gameplay opportunities and rich story threads to
develop for this new character and his backstory.”
Players will meet Cal on Bracca, a brand-new Star
Wars planet and one of several new locations introduced in the game. Cal is hiding from the
Empire in plain sight but is forced to go on the run when he exposes his Force
powers. Along the way, Cal will make new friends, like his mysterious companion
Cere, as well as run into some familiar faces, all while being accompanied by
his faithful droid BD-1. Cal’s flight from the Empire is made even more
dangerous as he is being pursued by the Second Sister, one of the Empire’s elite
Inquisitors, who seeks to hunt Cal down and extinguish this surviving Jedi.
Assisting the Second Sister are the terrifying Purge Troopers, special Imperial
forces trained to seek out Jedi and aid the Inquisitors in their dastardly
work.
Star Wars Jedi:
Fallen Order is designed with gameplay as a top priority in order to deliver the
kind of intense Star Wars lightsaber battles that are seen in the films. Brought to life by Respawn, a studio known
for high-quality games that are both visually beautiful and technically
masterful, players will use their Jedi training to create different melee
combinations with an innovative lightsaber combat system and Force abilities.
Players will also use traversal and other platforming abilities to strategically
overcome opponents and solve puzzles in their path across this galaxy-spanning
adventure. Star
Wars fans will recognize iconic locations, weapons, gear, and enemies, while also meeting
a roster of fresh characters, locations, creatures, droids and adversaries new
to Star Wars.
Star Wars Jedi:
Fallen Order is
available now for pre-order,
