Yesterday, several leaked details emerged for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order regarding its story and gameplay. While you should take them with grain of salt, one interesting bit revealed that Respawn Entertainment’s action-adventure title will run on Unreal Engine 4 and not EA’s Frostbite Engine. In a recent comment on Reddit, Star Wars community manager EA_Charlemagne confirmed that this was indeed the case.
Kotaku’s Jason Schreier also had an interesting tweet on the game following the leak of the official poster. He said, “Very optimistic for this one. It’s the first single-player Star Wars game in forever, there’s a ton of talent on the team, and they’ve had a fair amount of time to work on it. And hey, if it’s a big success maybe it’ll even convince EA that not everything needs to be on Frostbite.”
Time will tell if that actually happens, but the official reveal of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be taking place tomorrow at the Star Wars Celebration. We’re expecting a cinematic trailer, if not some gameplay footage and more details regarding the story. The title is set after the events of Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith and apparently focuses on a lone Padawan fighting for survival.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is out in Holiday 2019 and will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
