One of the most anticipated games of the year, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been delayed by six weeks, slipping from a March release date to April.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will now launch on 28th April 2023 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
By way of the traditional Twitter image statement, Respawn said, “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. We are now focused entirely on the final stage: bug fixes to enhance performance, stability, polish, and most importantly, the player experience. […]
“In order for the team to hit the Respawn quality bar, provide the team the time they need, and achieve the level of polish our fans deserve, we have added six crucial weeks to our release schedule – Star Wars Jedi: will now launch globally on April 28th.”
A sequel to 2019 hit Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the game will build on the solid foundations that Respawn set for a new lightsaber-wielding adventure within the Star Wars universe. It continues the story of Cal Kestis, picking things up five years on from the first title. Cal is struggling to stay one step ahead of the Empire’s constant pursuit of the last remaining Jedi, but along with his trusty (and very cute) droid companion BD-1, he will find himself a new ally and meet up with new and interesting characters.
Officially revealed during The Game Awards in December, you would have thought that they would have been able to set a relatively close launch date just a few months away and hit it, but nothing is ever simple when creating games. What’s six more weeks?
