In spite of being a decidedly contrary to the approach EA usually takes with its games – in that it’s single player only and has no microtransactions – Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has been a great success for its publisher, garnering universal acclaim and enjoying the second biggest launch for Star Wars game in the US, and the fastest selling digital launch in Star Wars history.
And now, a report by SuperData delves into the launch sales of Fallen Order even further. Apparently, the Respawn Entertainment-developed action adventure title sold a total of 2.14 million units in November alone, while also becoming the biggest console launch in Star Wars history. It also outsold the launch month sales of Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) by 2 to 1.
Fallen Order was also the sixth highest grossing PC game worldwide throughout November, and the third highest grossing console game (behind Pokemon Sword and Shield and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare).
It’s no surprise given the success that Fallen Order is enjoying that EA will be eyeing more of the same from Respawn. And certainly, recent developments indicate that a sequel to Fallen Order might be in the works at the studio.
Meanwhile, EA Motive are also currently working on what they describe as a “very unique” Star Wars game, which might be out before the end of financial year 2021.
