Final 'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor' trailer drops ahead of April 28 release

Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts have dropped one final teaser for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The game is set to come out on April 28 for the Sony PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The almost two-minute trailer is a mix of story and gameplay highlights, focusing on protagonist Cal Kestis and how he joins forces with some non-playable companions. If you want to go into the game blind, the trailer does hit a few story beats, but Respawn suggests "not all images appear in-game."

Respawn plans to release 3 more 'Star Wars' games

You can expect three more Star Wars games to come out of Respawn Entertainment. EA announced that the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends is working on a follow-up to its 2019 hit Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but it isn't known if it'll be a direct sequel. A first-shooter game in the pipeline is overseen by a former Star Wars Battlefront producer. And then there's a strategy game produced by Respawn in the works with Bit Reactor leading its development. That new third-party studio is headed up by Greg Foertsch, who previously worked on the XCOM series.

EA's exclusive license to develop and publish Star Wars games will expire next year. And it looks like it wants to churn out as much as it can before that happens.
