VIDEO GAMES: STAR WARS JEDI: FALLEN ORDER Officially Revealed With GOTHAM Star Cameron Monaghan As Lead

Besides Star Wars: Episode IX, perhaps the most exciting thing heading into Star Wars Celebration this weekend was the reveal of EA and Respawn Entertainment's new third-person action adventure game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. During today's panel, the curtain was finally lifted, giving us our first look at the new story-driven, single-player game (with no microtransactions).

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order features an original story set shortly after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. It features an all-new character, Cal Kestis, a young Padawan who somehow managed to survive Order 66. If you're wondering why he may look familiar, that's because Cal is brought to life by Gotham star Cameron Monaghan.

Set during the Dark Times, it's up to players to "pick up the pieces of Cal’s shattered past to complete his training and master the art of the iconic lightsaber - all while staying one step ahead of the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors."

Here's what teased about the story and some of the characters players will meet:

Players will meet Cal on Bracca, a brand-new Star Wars planet and one of several new locations introduced in the game. Cal is hiding from the Empire in plain sight but is forced to go on the run when he exposes his Force powers. Along the way, Cal will make new friends, like his mysterious companion Cere, as well as run into some familiar faces, all while being accompanied by his faithful droid BD-1. Cal’s flight from the Empire is made even more dangerous as he is being pursued by the Second Sister, one of the Empire’s elite Inquisitors, who seeks to hunt Cal down and extinguish this surviving Jedi. Assisting the Second Sister are the terrifying Purge Troopers, special Imperial forces trained to seek out Jedi and aid the Inquisitors in their dastardly work.

 


Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an action-adventure game set after Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith™. Develop your Force abilities, hone your lightsaber techniques, and explore the ancient mysteries of a long-lost civilization—all while staying one step ahead of the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors.


While we didn't see any actual gameplay footage during the panel, it was a major focus. It was described as "thoughtful combat," where players will have to size up enemies, identify and exploit their weaknesses. This seems to fall in line with what the previous rumors described as "[Dark] Souls-like" combat.

It's also worth noting that the trailer above features game assets rendered within the Unreal Engine that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was developed in.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be released this year on November 15, 2019, for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Cant wait. Single player Star Wars games are super fun. Hoping this is a hybrid between KOTOR and Force Unleashed.

@RancidBane - I dony know what KOTOR is but I definately know Force Unleashed 1 and 2.

@MrCamw1 - Knights of the Old Republic. It's held in high regard.

@RancidBane - Ohh I like your thinking, only Force Unleased got a tad repetitive.

I'm hoping this is open world too, Star Wars works so well with an open world environment.

And let's hope we can customize Cal.

@MrCamw1 - Ok...don't google it...just buy KOTOR and enjoy.

I don't have high hopes for this.

MCUKnight11 - 4/13/2019, 12:38 PM
@Soos - I just worry that EA will find someway to mess up something promising.

@MCUKnight11 - It's singleplayer only, don't see how they could. Trust Respawn, they've voiced their disappointment with EA as well.
"No microtransactions. No loot boxes. And no, we won't be adding them. A single-player Star Wars story for those of you who are ready to become a Jedi."

@MCUKnight11 - I have because of Respawn.
RegularPoochie

@Soos - Don't, just don't give them any ideas.
MCUKnight11
MCUKnight11 - 4/13/2019, 12:51 PM
@ThorPoochie - So it seems you, @Soos, and @Nebula have high hopes. I am willing to give Respawn the benefit of the doubt.
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 4/13/2019, 1:04 PM
@MCUKnight11 - This, I don't trust EA, but I trust Respawn.

@ThorPoochie - @Soos and @Nebula playing Apex?

@MCUKnight11 -
Titanfall 2 was great. And they're basically the portion of Infinity Ward responsible for the first Modern Warfare. Not to mention what is apparently the best battle-royale on the market, Apex Legends, though I haven't played that yet. Apex was their first game under EA's banner - though they apparently, thankfully had no involvement with it.

@ThorPoochie - Haven't tried it out yet but only heard good things.
TinyTinyMan
TinyTinyMan - 4/13/2019, 1:23 PM
@Nebula - both Titanfall games were published by EA
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 4/13/2019, 1:27 PM
@Nebula - @Nebula - I've only played it with PS, don't have the courage to play with PC because I have issues, LOL. AAAAAND

Respawn:
How many bullshit Battle passes are we gonna make?

My mistake.

@Nebula - Nice gif usage. My favorite actor of all time. Also, I guess I should add Titanfall 2 to my games-to-play list.

@MCUKnight11 - TF and TF2 are one of the best games out there. Oh boy you have big pile of sand in your arse.

Getting some Force Unleashed vibes from this, which is great because that's the only thing Star Wars (aside from the Clone Wars animated series) that I really loved.

MCUKnight11 - 4/13/2019, 12:39 PM
@DnA - What about Empire Strikes Back?
Nebula
Nebula - 4/13/2019, 12:38 PM
I like what I see. Very Solo. Very 1313.
Said it in the last thread; bet that Inquisitor at the end is the new canon's version of Starkiller - certainly looks like it.
Nebula
Nebula - 4/13/2019, 12:40 PM
Or at least I hope that's the case. That'd be cool.
Kumkani
Kumkani - 4/13/2019, 12:46 PM
@Nebula - Starkiller was badass.

Maybe a bit too badass but badass nonetheless

@Nebula - He's such a walking power fantasy but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see some of his feats in the movies.

Cameron's Joker is the best in years. So glad he's hitting the bigtime. And hopefully he plays the Joker again either in live-action or animation.
