Sadly, you read that right. With little over a month to go until its promised March release date, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been hit with an abrupt delay.
The countdown to Cal Kestis’ next adventure was already in full swing - in fact, thanks to one of January’s free PlayStation Plus offerings, there’s probably more gamers than ever excited to dive into the sequel. However, last night (31 January), the development team posted a statement on Twitter, delivering the disappointing news that fans will have to wait even longer.
Check out the trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor below.
“For the last three years, the Jedi team here at Respawn has poured its collective heart and soul into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and we are proud to say the next chapter in the tale of Cal Kestis is content complete,” the statement reads. “We are now focused entirely on the final stage: bug fixes to enhance performance, stability, polish, and most importantly, the player experience.

“Jedi: Survivor is a direct response to the feedback from our community, delivering expansive destinations to explore, evolved combat and traversal, and of course, the continuation of Cal and BD’s story. Making this game has truly made us a better team, and we have pushed ourselves at every level to make this the Star Wars sequel our fans expect from Respawn and Lucasfilm Games,” it continues. “In order for the team to hit the Respawn quality bar, provide the team with the time they need, and achieve the level of polish our fans deserve, we have added six crucial weeks to our release schedule - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will now launch globally on 28 April.”
In the grand scale of things, six weeks really isn’t that much more to wait, and fans have been very supportive, telling the devs that they should take all the time they need. Hopefully, it’ll be worth the wait.
