It looks like there’s almost certainly going to be a sequel toStar WarsJedi: Survivor,as developer Respawn Entertainment has posted several revealing job listings online.
TheStar Wars Jedi: Survivordeveloper is currently looking to bolster its staff with a senior VFX artist, a senior technical sound designer and was recently looking to hire a principal game writer, too. Respawn hasn’t included any juicy details about the third title in itsjob descriptions, but the roles are clearly defined for theStar Wars Jediseries.
One notable fact mentioned in the job descriptions, however, is that the team plans to upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 for the next Jedi entry. So when it does launch expect a notable bump in visual fidelity and - hopefully - performance. Though we doubt the issue of aludicrous file sizewill be solved for the third outing.
While the semi-confirmation of a Jedi threequel will be exciting to many fans, the writing was always on the wall.Respawn’s Stig Asmussen confirmed as muchin an interviewwith IGN.
“I always wanted to see this as a trilogy,” said Asmussen, adding: “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.”
Comparisons have been drawn between the Jedi series and Star Wars' original trilogy.Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderraises protagonist Cal in a hopeful call-to-action, before thrusting him into the darker story beats ofSurvivor,mirroringA New HopeandThe Empire Strikes Backrespectively.
