Rumor has it that Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment have planned a Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 reveal ahead of E3 2022, in spring of this year.
The claim was made by industry insider Jeff Grubb during his Giant Bomb show. “Expect to hear about the game in a significant way before E3,” Grubb said. Jedi: Fallen Order 2 is likely to be in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. However, a PS4 version isn’t outside the realm of possibility.
When will EA announce Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 release date?
Grubb has speculated a release window of either late 2022 or sometime early 2023. The original game was announced during E3 2018 and released in November 2019. If the sequel follows the same trajectory, we’re looking at a mid-late 2023 release.
If Grubb is right and Jedi: Fallen Order 2 release is set for 2022, EA might announce the release date at EA Play. However, if it’s set for a 2023 release, then we’ll get a release window at best.
A 2022 release seems unlikely especially considering the ongoing pandemic. However, the game may have been in development for quite some time. Job listings dating back to 2019 suggested as much.
Opinion: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 release signals a change within EA
Zarmena writes… It’s hard to forget the treatment EA meted out to Amy Hennig’s Star Wars project at the now-defunct EA Visceral. The company infamously held the stance that it needs to keep abreast with market trends and a single-player Star Wars game wouldn’t have the same scope as a multiplayer game. Funnily enough, Star Wars Battlefront II‘s launch was a disaster and Respawn’s single-player Star Wars sold like hot cakes. Looks like EA’s had a change of heart since then.
In other news, Horizon Forbidden West is almost upon us and we recently learned about a mysterious new villain. Speaking of villains, Pagan Min is headed to Far Cry 6 in DLC form next week.
