Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel will reportedly be released next year exclusively for new/current-gen systems. The news comes from VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb, who reported in his latest episode of Grubbsnax that the game won’t be out until 2023 but will be playable on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. Grubb also claimed that Fallen Order won’t be a part of the game’s title, opening up the possibility that Jedi protagonist Cal Kestis could be going on a very different kind of adventure.
Star Wars Jedi 2 is reportedly new gen only and won’t release until 2023 (VGC)
“Star Wars Jedi 2 is going to be new-gen only, where it’s PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and then of course PC,” Grubb said.
“One of the reasons that they’re going to be able to do that is because it’s not coming out until 2023. This game is for sure now not coming out until 2023.”
According to Grubb, the decision to focus solely on new gen systems “has some upsides” because “they don’t have to worry about trying to straddle these generation lines”.
“It makes it easier to just disassociate yourself with those millions of PS4s and Xbox Ones out in the world when you are in 2023 and you’re going to have several months of making it very easy to get an Xbox Series X, probably a few months before now and then when it’s actually okay to get a PS5,” he said.
“And then at the same time you can take advantage of it and do something that feels new.”
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released in November 2019 and ended up becoming one of the most successful titles in the franchise, having sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and attracting over 20 million players with its exciting lightsaber combat and platforming. Respawn released a next-gen patch for the game last year, one that added higher-resolution textures, 4K/HDR resolution, 60 FPS, and faster loading times for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S owners.

Join Discussion →I'm actually looking forward to the sequel. I really enjoyed the original.
I'm glad to see new titles coming for pc like this.
I really don't get the hype for this game. The first one was just a mediocre Shadows of the Empire knock off. I bailed when the game didn't have a checkpoint before one of the boss enemies.
Because compared to other titles in the past what.. decade .. it was good.
I don't get the love for the game either. I managed to finish it but didn't find it to be anything but mediocre at best. The plot/story was decent but could have been better if it had been more limited in scope. The gameplay was subpar since it seemed to be trying to mix several different styles/types of game into one and felt like a mess.
My main gripe with the game was the amount of backtracking, was fine for the rest.
I got the game as a gift. Played through it, was just okay, and even then it took a good number of hours for me to warm up to it. I had waaaaaaay more fun with The Force Unleashed 1, and all the Jedi Knight games.
I got it for free and haven't started it yet. ;)
Me too.
I enjoyed the first game and will probably get this sequel as well.
Thanks for the heads up in case I finally get around to playing it. Thanks to Dead Space and some RE games I'm really burnt out on back tracking.
Depending on the game, I don't mind backtracking, but Prince of Persia: Warrior Within was the only one of the 4 games starring that specific Prince that I did not finish, mainly due to the backtracking. Of course there were other issues, like the bugs/glitches, and a much too heavy focus on combat, but the backtracking was what finally made me give up on the game.
Me three.
