FULL STORY
======================================================================

Stig Asmussen, director of upcoming third-person action romp Star Wars Jedi: 
Survivor, has hinted at plans for a third game. 

In a recent interview, the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor director said that hes 
always wanted to see [the series] as a trilogy. Clarifying his teams approach 
to Survivors plot, he continued: 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 ( via IGN ). 

 Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is scheduled to release April 28 for PS5 , Xbox 
Series X |S, and PC and marks the next chapter in the story of Cal Kestis. 
Between lightsaber duels and dishing out force-enabled beatings , Cal will 
have to come to terms with the broken legacy of the Jedi Order as he 
navigates the Empires oppressive galactic regime. 

Asmussen has a history of optimism when it comes to the series. Even before 
the release of the original Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in 2019, developer 
Respawn Entertainment was discussing the possibility of a sequel. We were 
already talking about a second game frankly, we were talking beyond. And 
these are conversations that, when were breaking this story with Lucasfilm, 
its like: well, where are we going with the second game?. 

Though no concrete details have emerged as to what the series third act might 
look like, it is promising to know that Respawn has been looking ahead with 
the Star Wars: Jedi series ever since the early days. It suggests that we may 
well be in for a coherent three-part story  in stark contrast to some Star 
Wars trilogies I might name. I have a good feeling about this (Image credit:

Judging from trailers and gameplay footage, Jedi: Survivor already looks the 
part of a trilogys dark second act. Everything from Cals more grizzled 
appearance to the more sinister tone has caused me to draw parallels between 
the game and The Empire Strikes Back, the gritty middle of the original 
trilogy of Star Wars movies. 

The Star Wars: Jedi series is certainly among the more interesting and 
thoughtful Star Wars projects out there at time of writing. Much to my 
delight, its set between Emperor Palpatines rise to power and the events of 
the original movie trilogy, much like fan-favorite series Andor . 

I thoroughly enjoyed Fallen Order s unflinching look at this dark era in Star 
Wars history. Cal regularly had to contend with the authoritarian jackboot of 
the Empire, fending off Stormtroopers and dealing with Darth Vaders 
Inquisitors  tortured practitioners of dark force powers hell-bent on 
slaughtering every last Jedi. 

Now that Cal has come into his own as a character, Im very excited to see 
what Respawn does in this new narrative space. Hopefully, Asmussen will be 
able to realize his vision for a trilogy and treat us all to more gritty Star 
Wars goodness. Star Wars: Eclipse , everything we know so far
