Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel details
In terms of new details, there were no trailer or title announcements in today's news from EA. Instead, EA made sure that the fan base was well aware of the projects currently in development and would expand on their portfolio.
However, some critical details within the announcement make the Jedi: Fallen Order sequel even more enticing. For starters, Respawn will be developing the title once again. Respawn took on Fallen Order and started the new series, which would be called Star Wars Jedi, back in 2019.
On top of that, Stig Asmussen will be the Game Director on the project once again. He led the charge on the first Jedi: Fallen Order game and had experience with God of War. Fans should sleep well knowing he's involved again.
Fans speculated in December that a new trailer for the sequel would be revealed, but it never was. It was safe to assume that the sequel is in development, but there has never been any confirmation directly from EA until now. Now, fans can look ahead to more news.
Other Star Wars games that were announced by EA and Respawn
Aside from Jedi: Fallen Order getting a sequel, two other titles will join the Star Wars universe of games. One of them is a first-person shooter, and considering the experience, Respawn has with games like Apex Legends or Titanfall, the title seems to be in good hands.
The second new title will be a strategy game set in the Star Wars universe that will collaborate from Bit Reactor. Not much is known about this one, or the shooter for that matter, but more news is sure to break in the coming months after this massive announcement.
