“I always wanted to see this as a trilogy,” he toldIGN. “How can we take Cal and the crew to new places beyond what we were doing in the first game?
“We had a pretty decent idea of timeframe where we wanted Survivor to take place, what the stakes were going to be, what the tone of the game was going to be, what Cal was going to be up against, and how the crew was going to factor into that. And there’s ideas of what we could do beyond that as well.”
Asmussen also said it was likely that a third game in the series would seeRespawnswitch from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal 5 for development. “I think it’s a pretty safe assumption.”
In December, publisherEAannounced that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor would be released forPS5,Xbox Series X/SandPCon May 31, 2025. But the following month,it delayed the releaseof the third person, narrative-driven action-adventure title by a month and a half.
“For the last three years, the Jedi team here at Respawn has poured its collective heart and soul into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and we are proud to say the next chapter in the tale of Cal Kestis is content complete,” Respawn said in a statement announcing the delay.
