New rumors suggest that the unannounced sequel to investment in the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order franchise, though no official plans for a sequel have yet been revealed.
Delivering an intimate single-player experience within the beloved sci-fi setting, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was praised for its epic action setpieces and in-depth combat system. Cal Kestis' lightsaber and Force powers are useful for both battling enemies and solving puzzles, and players can unlock new parts of the game's world using specific Force abilities. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order also borrows many elements of the "soulslike" genre, established by games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, with unforgiving combat allowing enemies to easily overpower an unfocused player. Recent rumors suggest that EA will reveal Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order soon, with Star Wars Day on May 4 being a likely choice for a potential announcement.
According to notable Star Wars insider Bespin Bulletin, a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be announced at Star Wars Celebration 2022. Anaheim, California's annual fan event was cancelled back in 2020, with the sci-fi celebration now scheduled to run from May 26 to May 29. Bespin Bullpen has received word that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's sequel will be announced at this event, and the franchise's next entry will apparently receive a new subtitle rather than simply being called Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2. The insider also claims that the sequel will feature iconic Star Wars characters who were not included in the first game.
With a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order confirmed to be in development, many franchise fans have already begun theorizing about the next game's plot. The first adventure involved major Star Wars figures like Darth Vader, and fans hope that Darth Revan will return in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 after a long absence from the franchise. The masked warrior was first introduced in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, a 2003 role-playing game that is no longer part of the series' official canon. However, Darth Revan still remains a beloved figure in the franchise's history, so the icon's appearance in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's sequel would be a truly momentous event.
By delivering a solid single-player experience and an original Jedi story, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was able to impress gamers and die-hard fans alike. Electronic Arts has confirmed a sequel is in the works, but Bespin Bullpen's claims may shed even more light on the project. With many Star Wars games coming in 2022, Star Wars Celebration 2022 may also reveal Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's anticipated sequel and its original new subtitle.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Google Stadia.
