EA has officially announced that the highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi Survivor won’t be available until April!
In an unexpected announcement by the official social media accounts of EA, Respawn, and Star Wars Jedi Survivor, the developers stated why it won’t be released until April 28th.
The main argument is that they need to work on the final stage of the product, this includes bug fixing, enhancing performance, stability, and overall a good player experience.
As usual with these types of announcements, the words were chosen very carefully and even though it’s a bummer, I think most of the community will be responding in a very positive way.
Sure, it isn’t very pleasant having to wait an extra six weeks but I think we all want this to be a good game. Releasing games that aren’t ready can cause irreparable damage to a franchise; Halo Infinite or No Man’s Sky are very good examples of this.
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order is one of the most memorable Star Wars games in recent years. I think it’s safe to assume that many of us have very high expectations about it and we all want it to succeed. Delaying Jedi Survivor looks like a very smart decision.
What surprises me most is the fact that the release date was announced at the Game Awards 2022 Show, less than two months ago. EA’s fiscal year ends on March 31; it makes sense that it’s the main reason why they wanted Jedi Survivor to release in March but if things aren’t on schedule why put that pressure on the developers’ team that I’m sure is already working very hard to deliver the final product?
I understand that events and big announcements are planned with many months of anticipation but it’s still confusing to me. Maybe I’m asking too much from a big corporation like EA.
I’m more than happy to wait six more weeks if that means that the game is going to be a finished product. I hope this is the first and last statement of this kind regarding Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
The good news is that everyone is going to have more time to read Star Wars Jedi Battle Scars. This book explores what happens before Jedi Survivor.
Questions like “Where’s the rest of the crew?, What happened after Fallen Order?” are going to be answered in this book that releases on March 7th, 2023.
If you’re not sure about what I’m talking about be sure to check the trailer breakdown.
Another positive point is that there’s more time to pre-order the game. Having to pay $70 USD (or more) is something that not everyone can do without hurting their wallets so this gives us more time to save for any of the different Jedi Survivor game editions.
There’s plenty of Star Wars before Jedi Survivor‘s release. You can read the tie-in novel Star Wars Jedi Battle Scars, follow the adventures of Omega, Wrecker, Hunter, Tech, and Echo in Season 2 of The Bad Batch, or wait for the Third Season of The Mandalorian that begins on March 1st.
At least Disney and Lucasfilm are going to have us more than entertained before Jedi Survivor releases on April 28th, 2023.
