Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the second entry in the series developed by Respawn Entertainment launching next month on PC and console, is likely to get a sequel if it performs well on the market, according to the game's director.
Speaking with IGN, Stig Asmussen commented on the series as a whole, saying that he always wanted it to be a trilogy. As such, the team already had a pretty good idea of the timeframe, tone, and events of the second entry in the series and even beyond before Jedi: Fallen Order was released in 2019. He added that if the upcoming second game performs well, a third entry in the series is likely coming.
Alongside roughly knowing how Cal's journey will continue, the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor developer also seems to have a good idea on the engine they will use for the hypothetical third entry in the series, as Stig Asmussen suggested that it would be built using Unreal Engine 5, which isn't a too surprising statement, considering such a game would release in a few years.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be a big step up compared to its predecessor in pretty much every aspect. Instead of featuring several smaller locations, the new entry in the series is set on the big planet of Koboh, which allowed the developer to expand exploration, enemy variety, and combat, as highlighted in a recent video preview featuring some brand new footage.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor releases on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on April 28th worldwide. The game was initially scheduled for a March 17th release but was eventually delayed for additional polishing.
