‘Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’ March Release Date Leaked Ahead of Full Gameplay Reveal This Week
Steam has slipped up and revealed the release date of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ahead of the expected full reveal later this week.
With a major appearance all but confirmed at this week’s Game Awards ceremony, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the long-anticipated sequel to 2019’s Jedi: Fallen Order, has given away one of its biggest secrets: a definitive launch date that points to March 16, 2023 (mere days after the release of the bridge novel Battle Scars).
The leak comes from the digital distribution platform Steam, which mistakenly had an updated page for the game up for a few minutes, more than enough time for fans to grab a screenshot which proves that previous reports were aiming in the right direction. Check it out below:
As you can see, the updated page even had a new banner image for the sequel. Moreover, the new artwork matches the new image that the official EA Star Wars Twitter account has been using for a couple of days now:
Beyond what the mysterious first trailer showed us, little more is known about Jedi: Survivor, other than it’s set roughly five years after the events of Fallen Order and will feature the return of the Stinger Mantis crew as seen at the end of that game. The official press releases make no mention of PS4 and Xbox One versions, so it appears that Respawn’s new action-adventure game has been fully built for current-gen hardware (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and high-end PCs).
UPDATE #1: The pre-order bonuses for both the Standard and Deluxe editions of the game have surfaced online too. They are similar to those that Fallen Order had, with three outfits for Cal inspired by the heroes of A New Hope, two lightsaber sets, two blaster sets, and two cosmetics for BD-1.
UPDATE #2: The EA Star Wars social channels have now confirmed “action-packed gameplay” at this Thursday’s Game Awards ceremony alongside an official image of Cal Kestis and BD-1.
The journey continues…
