Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set to make its gameplay debut at The Game Awards 2022, building up excitement following a leak that hinted at a release date of March 15, 2023, as indicated by a Steam page listing. The page, complete with its description, was taken down shortly after, but EA swiftly confirmed a showcase during Geoff Keighley’s awards show, featuring a new artwork showcasing the return of Cal Kestis (Cameron Monaghan) and his trusty droid BD-1. The Game Awards 2022 is scheduled for Friday, December 9, at 6am IST.
“I don’t want to give away too much before the show, but I can confirm that this will be the first time that [developer] Respawn will present the game in action to the world, so fans have a lot to look forward to,” revealed Geoff Keighley, host and creator of The Game Awards, in an interview with Variety.
“We have been collaborating with Respawn and EA on this for nearly six months.” Star Wars Jedi: Survivor picks up five years after the events of Fallen Order, with our protagonist Kestis still evading the Empire as one of the few remaining Jedi within the galaxy. Based on the brief description and tags on Steam, players can anticipate similar gameplay mechanics, such as deflecting incoming projectiles, navigating obstacles by wall running, and engaging in lightsaber combat, with a level of difficulty akin to the challenging titles found in the “souls-like” genre.
Wario64, a prominent Twitter user, spotted some new details briefly appearing on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Steam page, including a launch date. This leak gains credibility from a report last month, which suggested that EA was aiming to release a major IP in March 2023.
In its Q2 financial results presentation, the publisher listed the upcoming titles set for release before the end of its 2023 fiscal year. Within the Q4 segment, a “Major IP” was mentioned, scheduled to launch before March 31, with the intention of keeping its reveal relatively close to the release date. EA had previously confirmed that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was slated for a 2023 release, aligning with this leaked launch date of March 15.
The leak for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor unveiled some significant details, promising the return of the cinematic combat system and the opportunity to “explore new planets and familiar frontiers” within the vast galaxy. The purported screenshot stated, “Master new skills, equipmen t, and abilities that will enhance your exploration, combat, and free-roaming experiences.” The now-removed DLC offerings included pre-order bonuses such as a Hermit outfit, a Hermit lightsaber set, and a combustion blaster set for the Standard Edition. Those who pre-ordered the higher-priced Deluxe Edition were entitled to two cosmetic packs named “The Galactic Hero” and “The New Hero,” both containing BD-1 droid-themed cosmetics. The leak also revealed the PC system requirements.
If the leak is accurate, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available on March 15, 2023, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X. As previously mentioned, the gameplay reveal will take place during The Game Awards 2022, commencing on December 9 at 6am IST/ December 8 at 4:30pm PT.
