It looks heroic Jedi and notable ginger Cal Kestis will have his story wrapped up in the next Star Wars Jedi game.
That the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be “the final chapter” in the series was revealed in underwhelming fashion by EA’s own Laura Miele, president of EA Entertainment and Technology.
Speaking at EA’s investor relations day, Miele touched upon the success of the Star Wars Jedi series.
“We have delivered some of the highest quality and best-selling Star Wars games of all-time, with over $5 billion in net bookings,” she boasted.
“This impressive track record includes of course the Star Wars Jedi games, where over 40 million Star Wars fans have connected with Cal Kestis and his arc of becoming a powerful Jedi.
“Respawn is working hard to bring the final chapter of this thrilling story to players.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve had hints that the third game would be the finale. Star Wars: Jedi Survivor director Stig Asmussen spoke to IGN prior to Survivor’s launch and told the outlet that he had envisioned it as a trilogy. Asmussen left EA in September of last year, but his goal of making a trilogy has seemingly remained intact.
Of course, there’s plenty of room for EA to continue the franchise. If a fourth game is made, they can say that the third game was the end of that particular story, and that the fourth game marks the start of a new trilogy! Or maybe they’ll actually stick to their guns and let Cal’s story end rather than keep trying to milk it.
