First trailer released for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

The game will follow Cal Kestis, a padawan who escaped Order 66, the Jedi massacre we witness in Revenge of the Sith.

Star Wars fans are getting one of their greatest wishes this year: a new single-player, story-based game, courtesy of EA and Respawn Entertainment.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will follow Cal Kestis, a padawan who escaped Order 66, the Jedi massacre we witness in Revenge of the Sith. Gotham and Shameless star Cameron Morgan portrays Cal, who attempts to keep his identity hidden from the world, working as a salvager on a planet named Bracca.

One of the many villains you’ll cross paths with – and inevitably battle – is the Second Sister, a member of the Galactic Empire’s Inquisitorius, tasked with hunting down Jedi. Fans of Rebels will be familiar with another of the Inquisitors, the Seventh Sister.

Players will also face the newly designed Purge Troopers, who have been specifically trained to aid Inquisitors in hunting down the Jedi. However, Cal will have allies too, in the form of his droid companion, BD-1, and a former Jedi Knight who serves as a friend and mentor, played by Debra Wilson.

At the Star Wars Celebration panel for the game, creators were quick to stress that the focus here is on the linear story – there is no multiplayer and no microtransactions. It will also feature a combat system that will emphasise “thoughtful combat” over button mashing, with players required to tailor their approach for each enemy, finding ways to exploit their weaknesses.

Star Wars Jedi: The Fallen Order will be released on 15 November.
