After three years of waiting, we finally know that Star Wars Jedi Survivor is being released in 2023. And we got a new trailer from SWC 2022!
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to the acclaimed game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, an action-adventure game released by Respawn in 2019.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order takes place five years after the Jedi Purge. Cal Kestis, a survivor of Order 66 is living a “normal life”, but the Force had something more important prepared for him. Cal accidentally revealed himself as a Jedi, which draw the attention of the Inquisitors, from this moment, his life would change forever.
Cere Junda, a former Jedi Knight saves him from the Inquisitors. Cere, Cal, and Greez, the pilot of The Mantis, end up traveling to mysterious planets like Bogano, Dathomir, and Kashyyyk to find clues that can lead them to a Holocron that contains information about force-sensitive children that are spread across the galaxy.
Jedi: Fallen Order was very well received by the critics and fans, the story is good, combat mechanics are super fun and the characters are well written. Everybody expected a sequel where we could continue Cal’s story. After some years of waiting, we finally got what we wanted.
At Star Wars Celebration, the first official trailer was revealed. As usual, we end up with more questions than answers. But hey, at least we know that it is coming next year.
Here are the most important parts of the trailer.
This game takes place in the same period of time as the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series, I hope to see a small cameo of some sort!
This is clearly the cockpit of the Mantis, it is in a pretty bad shape and appears to have crashed near a canyon.
In Fallen Order, The Mantis is a reliable transport for the player. I wonder if this means that we’re going to be stranded on a planet or perhaps The Mantis will become unusable.
The view of the planet is very limited so it’s impossible to figure out where it is. Hopefully, we get another trailer in the future to learn more about this. I hope that we travel to previously unexplored places!
Next, we see a Pau’an sitting in a dark office. Most of us thought that he is the Grand Inquisitor, but Star Wars official site has confirmed that he’s an Imperial Senator.
Stormtroopers enter the room and give him a case that contains Cal’s lightsaber. I wonder if he’s going to be the main villain. In this type of game, the main antagonist is usually a force user.
“Tell me, Cal Kestis, why lead when they won’t follow? Why fight when you can’t win? What is your next move Jedi?”
These are the words that come out of the senator as he stares at the Jedi’s lightsaber. What does he mean by lead? Is he referring to Cal’s companions o someone else? Could it be that at this point in time more Jedi have been found?
A small fight scene is shown. Cal Kestis is fighting a lightsaber wielder. Following the logic of Fallen Order, one would assume that he’s dueling an inquisitor.
However, this unknown enemy isn’t carrying a double-bladed spinning lightsaber. So, it’s either a different type of inquisitor or a new enemy that isn’t necessarily aligned with the Grand Inquisitor.
Last but not least. We see someone on a bacta tank, it is very unclear who it is. Is it an enemy or an ally? We’ve seen bacta tanks being used for healing (Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Boba Fett) and for containing clone experiments.
It is very unclear who is inside, my only guess would be Taron Malicos, a fallen Jedi that we met on Fallen Order. But in my mind, it doesn’t make any sense to bring him back.
In a more open shot, we can distinguish the condition of this place. Lots of humidity, overgrown plants, and rust. It is clear that he has been inside for a good amount of time. Secret facilities where dark experiments are conducted are pretty common in Star Wars stories.
This environment looks similar to something you would find on Kashyyyk, Belsavis, Yavin IV, or Felucia. I’m super curious about this location, it’s probably going to be a key place in the story.
Who do you think is inside the tank? Hopefully, we get an extended trailer later in the year.
