Star Wars Jedi: Survivor received a positive response from gamers and reviewers when it was released earlier this year. Much of that praise was heaped on its compelling narrative, with Cal Kestis' story widely hailed as one of the best stories told during the current Disney-owned Lucasfilm era.
Played by Cameron Monaghan, we follow the character's attempts to find a permanent escape from the Empire in the sequel and is betrayed by one of his closest allies along the way. As a result, we see Cal tempted by the Dark Side, with players actually given the chance to tap into that in order to lay waste to enemies during the game's final act.
The hope is that a third instalment will continue following the Jedi's battle with his darker impulses, and we now have a very good indication that a threequel is indeed in the works from EA.
A post on LinkedIn (via GameFragger.com) reveals that the company is looking to hire a, "highly skilled Principal Game Writer who will embrace our philosophy and share their hard-earned expertise to help us create an incredible Star Wars experience for our players in a fun, third-person action-adventure setting."
That sounds an awful lot like a new instalment of this Star Wars Jedi series and lines up with what the franchise's director previously said about the plan being to tell this story across a trilogy of games.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was a hit, anyway, so we'll hopefully have more details to share with you soon.
