Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a critical success as well as
being the highest rated Star Wars game of this console generation.
Business Insider exclaims that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is “the
best Star Wars game ever made,” while GameSpot calls it “one of the
most compelling game additions to the Star Wars franchise in
years.” GQ notes that the game “lives up to the hype,” while IGN
says it is, “an all-around amazing game” in their 9.0 out of 10
review.
“On behalf of Respawn and EA, we thank everyone for their
support of the studio and the team throughout the development and
launch of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Telling a story in the Star
Wars galaxy is a dream come true and the reception from the fans
has been incredible,” said Vince Zampella, Head of Respawn. “With
the launch of the game, the debut of The Mandalorian and the
upcoming release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it’s a great
time to be a Star Wars fan!”
"Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order demonstrates the amazing potential
for original storytelling in Star Wars games,” said Sean Shoptaw,
SVP, Games and Interactive Experiences, Disney Parks, Experiences
and Products. "The close collaboration between Respawn and
Lucasfilm is a perfect example of how we can deliver an experience
for fans that is authentic to the stories and worlds they love,
while also being an incredibly fun and innovative game. With the
fantastic reception and launch so far, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
has proven to be the must-play game this Holiday.”
In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, players take on the role of Cal
Kestis, a former Padawan hiding in plain sight after the Jedi were
all but wiped out after Order 66 was executed by The Emperor. When
he’s forced on the run, Cal is quickly met by his companions Cere
Junda, a former Jedi Knight played by Debra Wilson and Greez, the
larger-than-life Latero pilot voiced by Daniel Roebuck, who flies
the crew’s ship known as the Stinger Mantis. BD-1, Cal’s faithful
droid that’s as charming as he is useful, will help players
navigate and explore diverse planets including the Wookiee
homeworld, Kashyyyk, and the never-before-seen planet Zeffo. Cal
and his companions are trying to stay one step ahead of the Empire
and his new enemy, the Inquisition’s Second Sister, while they
unravel a mystery tied to an ancient alien civilization that could
help rebuild the Jedi Order.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is now available both digitally and
in stores on the Xbox One, PlayStation®4 and PC via Origin™, Steam
and the Epic Games Store. Origin Access Premier subscribers will
get full access to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition on
PC for as long as they are subscribed. For more information on Star
