Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Will Be Darker Than Fallen Order, Says Director
The director behind Star Wars Jedi: Survivor promises that the upcoming sequel will indeed be darker and more mysterious than Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. After months of speculation, a brief but chilling pre-rendered Star Wars Jedi: Survivor teaser trailer for the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s hit action title was unveiled during yesterday’s Star Wars Celebration 2022 festivities, showing protagonist Cal Kestis on the run from the Empire following the events of Fallen Order. A vague release window was also confirmed, with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor set to launch sometime in 2023.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order already had a rather bleak premise, with former Jedi apprentice Cal Kestis being hunted down by the sinister Imperial Inquisitors during the reign of the oppressive Galactic Empire. Even as he searched for the lost remnants of the old Jedi Order, Cal was frequently haunted by the death of his Jedi Master Jaro Tapal during Order 66, a trauma that Cal Kestis’s voice actor Cameron Monaghan expressed a desire in exploring further in the now-confirmed Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Sure enough, yesterday’s ominous Star Wars Jedi: Survivor teaser hinted at darker times for Cal and the crew of the Stinger Mantis, with an elderly, Sith-aligned Pau'an figure stalking Cal from the shadows and the former Jedi standing in front of a mysterious, long-haired figure floating in a bacta tank.
