When Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Takes Place on the Timeline

gamerant.com:

Star Wars Jedi: Survivoris one of the most anticipated games of the stacked 2023 release schedule. Any new Star Wars property is going to generate a good amount of hype, but the excitement has gone to a new level following the success of 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The exact release date has not been confirmed, but fans will be lining up to learn more about Cal’s journey when Jedi: Survivor hits the shelves.

In a surprise to fans, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s latest trailer revealed that there will be a time jump between the two games. Cal Kestis and his loyal droid BD-1 will return, but the fate of the rest of the Mantis crew is left in question during the intervening years. While fans will have to wait to find out the future for Cere, Greez, and Merrin, the time jump puts the game in the same period as two other popular Star Wars stories, which could give gamers a hint of what’s in store for Cal in Jedi: Survivor.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Could Extend Customization to Cal Kestis’ Blaster

Respawn has confirmed that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes place in the year 9 BBY, the exact same year that Obi-Wan Kenobi is set. This year is the midpoint between the prequels and the original Star Wars trilogy, making it an excellent place in the timeline for new stories. The Empire is at its peak, the Jedi have been killed or scattered, and the future for the galaxy looks bleak.

While it’s unlikely that Obi-Wan will make an appearance in the game, it provides important context to what is taking place in the rest of the universe. Darth Vader and his Inquisitors are on the hunt for the remaining Jedi but seem singularly focused on tracking down Anakin’s former master. This could present an opportunity for Cal and the Mantis crew
