Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order officially has platforms and a release date: it’s coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15, 2019, developer Respawn Entertainment has announced. The date was revealed during the game’s panel at this year’s Star Wars Celebration event, where it was also confirmed that the PC version would be exclusively available on Origin. We also got a look at a trailer, although there was unfortunately no gameplay (and few details to be had in general).

We now know that players will take control of a young Padawan that escaped Order 66, the Emperor’s decree to wipe out all Jedi–even the younglings in training. You can read more about Jedi Fallen Order’s story here. A day before the panel, Respawn confirmed Jedi Fallen Order has no microtranactions and is single-player only.

Although Respawn is known primarily for developing first-person shooters such as the Titanfall series and, more recently, the battle royale hit Apex Legends, Jedi Fallen Order is a is more focused on melee combat. In 2014, God of War 3 director Stig Asmussen joined Respawn, bringing some third-person action expertise to the studio.

Jedi Fallen Order was officially confirmed during E3 2018, when Respawn’s Vince Zampella revealed the title and teased that it would be set between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope.

Prior to the reveal at Star Wars Celebration, artwork for Jedi Fallen Order was leaked by Amazon. The retailer listed a t-shirt which featured an image of the main character wielding a blue lightsaber and his droid companion. In the was a downed vessel that looks to be a Republic-era Star Destroyer.

Star Wars Celebration also yielded a new trailer for the next movie in the beloved franchise. During the show it was confirmed to be called Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, and you can watch the first trailer here. We’ve also got a comprehensive round-up on everything happening at Star Wars Celebration that’ll keep you up to date with the latest goings-on.

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order follows the story of a Padawan that escaped the Emperor’s ruthless extermination of the Jedi, and developer Respawn Entertainment has brought in actor Cameron Monaghan to portray its main character, Cal Kestis. Fans were introduced to Kestis and Monaghan during the Jedi Fallen Order panel held at this year’s Star Wars Celebration.

Monaghan is known for starring as Ian Gallagher in the TV series Shameless and, more recently, has made a name for himself playing Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska, a version of DC’s iconic villain Joker in the Batman prequel series Gotham.

His character, Cal Kestis, is on a journey to overcome the tragic events of his past while also attempting to complete his training to become a full-fledged Jedi. Of course, he’s also fighting for his life, as the Empire and its Inquisitors have been empowered by Order 66 to wipe out the Jedi, and they’re after him.

During the panel, developer Respawn Entertainment also confirmed that Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order’s release date as November 15. The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC through publisher EA’s Origin service.

Star Wars Celebration also gave us the first trailer for next entry in the movie franchise and confirmed that the film will be titled Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. You can watch the trailer here. If that wasn’t enough Star Wars for you, Disney revealed that The Mandalorian, a spin-off TV series from Iron Man, Jungle Book, and The Lion King director Jon Favreau will be available when the Disney+ streaming service launches later this year.

Respawn boss Vince Zampella has confirmed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a story-driven, single-player game. There will be no multiplayer to speak of, and no microtransactions either.

On the Star Wars Celebration Day 1 live stream, Zampella said, [Jedi: Fallen Order] is a single-player story game… No multiplayer, no microtransactions. It’s a story game.” Zampella’s words were met with applause and shouts of joy. This echoes Jedi: Fallen Order writer Chris Avellone’s earlier comments, when he said story is “very important to Respawn.”

“I hope [the six writers] are listed in the reveal because I accidentally said ‘I’ve wrapped this up,’ but there are other writers and I’m not even the lead guy,” Avellone said. “Story was very important to Respawn. I think they do a good job of introducing various narrative layers into their games already, but they think the story is an important part of what they perceive to be a Star Wars game. That’s one of the reasons I like Respawn, because when they tackle something like that, they understand what the important points are.”

The Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords writer has said he’s done with his portion of Jedi: Fallen Order’s story. “I think they brought me on because I have a pretty strong Star Wars pedigree so I’d probably be able to just jump right in,” Avellone continued. “And I was, which was good. It didn’t require a ton of new research.”

Jedi: Fallen Order was revealed during E3 2018, and Zampella said the Star Wars game is set after Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. You’ll play as a Jedi Padawan that escaped Order 66, and you’ll have access to a lightsaber. Respawn is expected to announce further details about Jedi: Fallen Order during a panel at Star Wars Celebration on April 13 at 11:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM BST.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is currently scheduled to release Fall 2019, presumably for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Some art for the game has already been leaked. Despite not knowing much about it, there are quite a few people and places we want to see in the game.
