It seems to be like there’s nearly definitely going to be a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, as developer Respawn Leisure has posted a number of revealing job listings on-line.
The Star Wars Jedi: Survivor developer is at the moment trying to bolster its employees with a senior VFX artist, a senior technical sound designer and was just lately trying to rent a principal sport author, too. Respawn hasn’t included any juicy particulars in regards to the third title in its job descriptions, however the roles are clearly outlined for the Star Wars Jedi sequence.
One notable reality talked about within the job descriptions, nevertheless, is that the workforce plans to improve to Unreal Engine 5 for the following Jedi entry. So when it does launch count on a notable bump in visible constancy and – hopefully – efficiency. Although we doubt the problem of a ridiculous file dimension will likely be solved for the third outing.
Whereas the semi-confirmation of a Jedi threequel will likely be thrilling to many followers, the writing was at all times on the wall. Respawn’s Stig Asmussen confirmed as a lot in an interview with IGN.
“I at all times wished to see this as a trilogy,” mentioned Asmussen, including: “We had a fairly first rate concept of timeframe the place we wished Survivor to happen, what the stakes have been going to be, what the tone of the sport was going to be, what Cal was going to be up towards, and the way the crew was going to issue into that. And there is concepts of what we may do past that as nicely.”
Comparisons have been drawn between the Jedi sequence and Star Wars’ authentic trilogy. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order raises protagonist Cal in a hopeful call-to-action, earlier than thrusting him into the darker story beats of Survivor, mirroring A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Again respectively.
Respawn is not the one developer on the town with upcoming video games within the works for the Star Wars franchise. Star Wars Outlaws will likely be an open-world journey from Ubisoft’s Huge Leisure, builders of Tom Clancy’s The Division sequence, which takes place between Episodes 5 and 6 of the unique trilogy.
