Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is getting an upgrade for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, announced Disney as part of the celebrations for Star Wars Day on May 4th.
As a blend of Souls-like combat and colourful and dynamic open worlds that would be right at home in Uncharted, the story follows Cal Kestis, a former Jedi Padawan who survived the Great Jedi Purge. After he uses the Force to save his friend's life, his identity as a Jedi is exposed to the Galactic Empire, and he discovers that he must prevent the Sith from obtaining a Holocron containing the names of Force-sensitive children. Developing his skills against those who would see the galaxy fall further into darkness and picking up an adorable droid named BD-1, Cal earned his stripes as a capable Star Wars protagonist and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order did very well for Respawn Entertainment and EA. "Featuring a few questionable design decisions, it's impossible to consider Fallen Order a Star Wars classic, up there with Knights of the Old Republic or Rogue Squadron," said Mike in his review of Respawn Entertainment's take on a galaxy far, far away. Clearly, he didn't feel to strongly about it, but the game received a good reception among fans.
Speaking of good receptions, there is a rumour that a third game in the Knights of the Old Republic series is in the works. Here's what we've heard in a glorious audio-visual format for your eyeballs.
