As promised, EA Play delivered 15 minutes of stunning gameplay for
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The highly anticipated story-driven, single-player adventure game is due out later this year and this is the first we've seen of actual gameplay.
For those unfamiliar,
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an original story set shortly after the events of
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. In the game, you play as Cal Kestis (
Gotham star Cameron Monaghan), a young Padawan who managed to survive Order 66. Now he must complete his training, master the art of the lightsaber, and restore order - all while trying to avoid the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors.
Setting the stage for the reveal, EA revealed this is three hours into the game, so Cal Kestis isn't exactly learning his powers, but he's also not a full-blown Jedi yet. The gameplay takes us to the Wookie planet of Kashyyyk where Cal is on a mission to restart the Jedi Order.
Check out the 15-minute, unedited gameplay video below live as it happens (the full 30-minute panel with developer Respawn Entertainment is below).
Players will meet Cal on Bracca, a brand-new Star Wars planet and one of several new locations introduced in the game. Cal is hiding from the Empire in plain sight but is forced to go on the run when he exposes his Force powers. Along the way, Cal will make new friends, like his mysterious companion Cere, as well as run into some familiar faces, all while being accompanied by his faithful droid BD-1. Cal’s flight from the Empire is made even more dangerous as he is being pursued by the Second Sister, one of the Empire’s elite Inquisitors, who seeks to hunt Cal down and extinguish this surviving Jedi. Assisting the Second Sister are the terrifying Purge Troopers, special Imperial forces trained to seek out Jedi and aid the Inquisitors in their dastardly work.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is due out on November 15, 2019 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
