Respawn is Working on a New Star Wars Jedi Game

Respawn has been reportedly developing a new Star Wars Jedi game, according to Cameron Monaghan, who played Cal Kestis, the protagonist in the Star Wars Jedi game series. This news has been confirmed by EA during Tuesday’s Investor Day 2024 show. 

“Respawn is working hard to bring the final chapter of this thrilling story to players,” said Laura Miele, President of EA Entertainment and Technology. She also unveiled that the Star Wars Jedi franchise has attracted over 40 million players since the launch of the first game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, in 2019 and earned “over $5 billion in net bookings.” 

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the second title in the franchise and a sequel to the original game, was launched in April last year. However, it received mixed reviews, with negative feedback focusing on bad optimization and low performance despite the gameplay and story being liked by many. 

Earlier this year, we had the honor of an interview with Simon Isacsson Andersen, Level Designer at Respawn Entertainment, who shared a behind-the-scenes look at Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and spoke about the team's approach to level design in the game. Don't hesitate to check it out if you are interested. 

Laura Miele didn’t discuss further details or a release window of this last game in the trilogy, so we’ll probably hear more later when the studio is ready to share them. Notably, the director of the series’ first two games, Stig Asmussen, had left Respawn to set up his own studio called Giant Skull located in Los Angeles, which has around 30 people and is working on an AAA narrative-driven action-adventure game. 

During EA’s Investor Day 2024 conference, it was also revealed that the next Battlefield game has been internally tested almost daily for a year now and will conduct a community-driven test in early 2025. During the presentation, EA announced that they have fully embraced generative AI.
