STAR WARS JEDI: SURVIVOR Release Date Delayed As Developers Look To "Achieve Level Of Polish Fans Deserve"

If you're a gamer, then we're sure you don't need us to tell you that it's the norm for huge AAA titles to be delayed. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, the news is more often than not met with disappointment from fans instead of surprise.

That makes this Star Wars Jedi: Survivor update no less frustrating, though, as developer Respawn Entertainment has confirmed the Fallen Order sequel has been hit by a significant six-week delay.

Instead of arriving in stores on March 17, the game will now launch on April 28. In the lengthy statement below, it's confirmed that they're now in the final stage of "bug fixes to enhance performance, stability, polish, and most importantly, the player experience."

However, "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."

In all honesty, it's impossible to fault the team working on the game for wanting to release it in the best shape possible, avoiding a disastrous debut for the title and players alike (look what happened with Cyberpunk 2077). Based on what we've seen, Survivor will surely be worth the wait too.

Picking up five years after the events of Jedi: Fallen Order, Jedi: Survivor is a third-person, narrative-driven action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. If this trailer is any indication, the stakes have increased dramatically in this follow-up, with new supporting characters, locations, and gameplay mechanics.

No longer a Padawan, Cal has come into his own and grown into a powerful Jedi Knight.

Carrying the memories and expectations of the Jedi Order with him, his crusade against the Empire has only become more perilous. The Dark Times are closing in - with enemies new and familiar surrounding him, Cal will need to decide how far he’s willing to go to save those closest to him.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.

Great. This gives me more time to finish Fallen Order

DeadClunge - 2/2/2023, 3:29 AM

@Vigor - gives me time to start it 😭

MotherFuckerJon - 2/1/2023, 11:10 PM

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda glad. My car needs brakes badly..like badly badly. Was going to do the responsible thing, and buy a PS5 and put off fixing my car a few weeks. Now I can afford to wait.

BackwardGalaxy - 2/1/2023, 11:13 PM

Do any games get released on their original release date anymore? I'm at the point where I just assume the first release date is off.

TheSuperMex - 2/1/2023, 11:18 PM

@BackwardGalaxy - GOW Ragnarok did.

TUD - 2/1/2023, 11:23 PM

@BackwardGalaxy - IKR?? I don't even play video games, but I can't help but notice that AAA video games get their dates pushed back more than Marvel movies do at this point. I know that crunch and production issues are a big problem, but at this point, these studios should really expect this sort of thing to happen (at least until these industry issues are resolved) and just announce the latest release date possible lol.

Timerider84 - 2/1/2023, 11:44 PM

@TUD - they shouldn't have a crunch, they have been working on this game for a long, long time. It should have been polished by the end of January.

"the news is more often than not met with disappointment from fans instead of surprise."

Actual gamers wouldn't be disappointed. They know it's a good thing because it gives the devs more time to make a better game.

It's different when you have a Cyberpunk situation and the game keeps delayed over and over again, because that means the game is likely in a terrible state. But getting delayed once or twice is not a big deal and is usually a good thing.

Timerider84 - 2/1/2023, 11:41 PM

Good, I can watch Shazam 2 instead. They had the same release date, but not anymore.

TJJones96 - 2/2/2023, 12:16 AM

A delay is good. We wouldn't want this game to have an awful frame rate like the first on PS4

DocSpock - 2/2/2023, 12:33 AM

While they delay it, I'm about to jump into The Last of Us, the tequila edition.

Floke - 2/2/2023, 1:04 AM

@DocSpock - Im knee deep in Dead Space, the shit my pants edition.

DocSpock - 2/2/2023, 1:16 AM

@Floke -

LOL! Well I have the tequila, but not the game. It is about to release for PC.

TheRealMe - 2/2/2023, 1:36 AM

As a Polish fan I'm pleased!

NightBoyWonder - 2/2/2023, 4:02 AM

That’s not a bad delay. Pretty reasonable honestly especially if they truly are working on getting the finer touches done, I can imagine that can be a pain to get done for a deadline. Gives me more time to finish up on GOW Ragnarok and finish might idk… 6th playthrough of TLOU

Twenty23Three - 2/2/2023, 4:56 AM

Imagine a game just… working on release. Those where the good old days

OrgasmicPotatoe - 2/2/2023, 6:57 AM

Great, I didn't want to have to drop Hogwarts Legacy to get on this one. Now I'll have more time for HL.
