Looking for the Star Wars Jedi Survivor release date? You’re in the right place. Set five years after the events of Fallen Order, Cal Kestis continues his fight against the Empire during one of the galaxy’s darkest periods.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order saw Cal Kestis transition from a Padawan to a Jedi Knight, but his dire situation has only gotten worse in the action-adventure game. The Empire’s power continues to grow, pushing Cal to the edge of the galaxy where he faces a new set of problems. Here’s everything you need to know about the Star Wars Jedi Survivor release date, including speculation on the story, and what pre-order DLC you can pick up at launch.
Star Wars Jedi Survivor release date
Star Wars Jedi Survivor is out now. The release date was April 28, 2023. This comes after an announcement that Respawn would be taking an extra six weeks to “enhance performance, stability, polish, and most importantly, the player experience.”

Star Wars Jedi Survivor TGA gameplay
Geoff Keighley, host, and creator of The Game Awards revealed gameplay for Respawn’s upcoming Star Wars game during the event, showing off the new enemies you’ll face.
Cal Kestis is done hiding. It looks as though he’ll be taking the fight to the Empire in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. You can check out the new trailer in the video above.
During the IGN First event, we were treated to nine minutes of gameplay, in which we see Cal leap through mineshafts, take on the local fauna with his dual wield lightsabers, and admire what is admittedly, an impressive vista on Koboh.
The final gameplay trailer was released, showcasing Cal’s increased mobility, his grizzled prowess with a lightsaber, and the struggles he’s likely to face in Jedi: Survivor. We see old friends and new foes, and a bunch of Jedi: Survivor enemies that come from a long time ago.
Star Wars Jedi Survivor story speculation
As we know that Survivor takes place five years after Fallen Order, this means the game takes place roughly ten years after Revenge of the Sith. The Empire during this time is at the peak of its power, with almost no opposition to stand in its way.
In the teaser trailer released back in May, things looked bad for Cal as he seems to have lost his lightsaber. According to an interview with the official Star Wars website, the person who now holds Cal’s lightsaber is an imperial senator. The senator made a deal with a lightsaber wielder to track down Cal, but he managed to escape albeit without his trusty laser sword. The official trailer highlights Cal’s new lightsaber fighting styles, however, so we know he manages to get hold of the famous sci-fi swords once again at some point during the story.
The last third of the trailer reveals a one-armed man inside a bacta tank, a cylindrical pod filled with liquid that can rapidly heal injuries. It’s unclear who this man is, but fans have speculated that this could be the left-handed Sith fighter who features in the trailer.
In the official story trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, we see that Cal and the new crew have potentially found a safe haven, one that even the Empire can’t reach. There are new characters, some familiar faces, and a quick trip to Coruscant.
