Though Cal loses his lightsaber in the midst of the trailer, the reveal actually opens with a shot of Stormtroopers carrying a suitcase to a secure location, and we later see that suitcase open, in the mitts of this figure. That could lead to a theoretical trip to Jedha or another location known for its kyber crystal supplies, as he visited Ilum in the first game to forge his lightsaber with a new kyber crystal.Īs for that lightsaber? Well, it ends up in the hands of someone of power working for the Empire.
FALLEN ORDER SURVIVOR SERIES
At one point, Cal comes to blows with a masked figure wielding a red lightsaber, and seemingly loses his lightsaber in the process.Īnyway, the Survivor reveal gives us a strong sense that Cal is on the backfoot, but for a series that has already delivered such great lightsaber combat and EA’s promise of expanding on those mechanics, presumably he won’t be without such a signature weapon for long. Tying into the lack of the crew’s presence in the trailer, we mostly see Cal going it alone in the reveal. Spoiler warning! Spoilers for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's ending follow - if you haven't beaten that adventure yet, this isn't the article you're looking for. Let’s start with the latter first, and how it sets up the other lingering threads. Several threads run throughout the trailer - slow pans of a character in a bacta tank, a voiceover questioning Cal, and a battle between Cal and another figure. Wherever this planet is, it’s only one brief glimpse of the dire state of things for Cal. Not only is the moon spiritually and historically significant spot for the Jedi, and as we see later in the trailer Cal at some point needs a lightsaber, but we also know the planet eventually becomes the base of operations for someone Cal has already had ties to: Saw Gerrera, who Cal met during Fallen Order. But it could also potentially be the desert moon Jedha. It could even be the sequel trilogy’s prominent desert planet Jakku. Plus, Survivor would essentially take place around the same time as the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and we know the Inquisitors will have a presence in both. If it’s an existing one, it’s natural to assume Tatooine given its prevalence. But the rest of the team’s fate remains a mystery.Īs for the first desert planet we see, well, Star Wars is home to no shortage of sandy shores, and it’s equally likely that this could be a new planet as it is potentially a familiar one, given Fallen Order brought us to several lesser-seen worlds. Looking out the cockpit window, you can see a singular set of footprints trailing off into the distance, suggesting either Cal or another member of the crew escaped this crash alone. The trailer shows the Mantis downed on a desert planet, with a slow pan through its main hull spelling nothing but trouble. We don’t really see the crew - Cere, Greez, and Merrin - in the Survivor reveal, but we can surmise things haven’t gone all that well for them.

It's one of three star Wars projects currently in development at Respawn, the others being a Star Wars strategy game in collaboration with Bit Reactor (a studio made up of ex-Firaxis veterans), and a mysterious new Star Wars FPS.Įxpect more on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as its 2023 release on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC approaches.Now, one big component of Cal’s life, as far as players know, is his found family and crew of the Stinger Mantis, Cal’s starbound home throughout the events of Fallen Order. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was announced to be in the works - albeit without an official name at the time - in January this year. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Official Teaser. The teaser trailer released alongside today's announcement doesn't reveal a whole lot more, but we do see Cal, lightsaber in hand and accompanied by trusty robot sidekick BD-1, flexing his action muscles as he remains on the run from the Empire.
