“Jedi: Fallen Order 2 will be released in 2023 and only on Windows and new consoles” – Gaming – News

According to Venturebeat journalist Jeff Grubb, the sequel to Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order will definitely not be released this year, but next year. That was still uncertain. The decision comes with the decision not to release the game for Xbox One and PS4.

That reports the usually knowledgable VentureBeat game journalist Jeff Grubb, on his own Grubbsnax podcast. He does not state a reason for the decision. Well reported Bloomberg game journalist Jason Schreier at the time of Fallen Order 2’s original announcement that that announcement was “important in recruiting staff” for the studios, something that “is especially important now, with the Great Resignation going on’. Perhaps that was the determining factor in this decision, but that is not certain.

Grubb expects that waiting with the release until 2023 will ensure that enough gamers have the new generation of consoles that it is more acceptable not to provide the previous generation of consoles with this game. Due to persistent chip shortages, the PS5 and Xbox Series are poorly available and can therefore also be extra expensive.

Finally, the journalist reports that the game makers will drop the ‘Fallen Order’ part of the title. In addition, he expects footage of the game to be shown during the Star Wars Celebration event that will take place at the end of May takes place.

The studio behind Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is Respawn Entertainment, also known for Titanfall and Apex Legends. In addition to a new Fallen Order, the studio is simultaneously working on a first-person shooter and strategy game, both of which also take place in the Star Wars universe. According to Schreier, the two are less advanced in their development. Electronic Arts is the owner of Respawn Entertainment and the publisher of Respawn’s games.
