Star Wars Jedi: Survivor cited as 'the best Star Wars game in 20 years' in reviews ahead of release

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is hours away from release, and it has already been cited as “the best Star Wars game in 20 years”. The open-world action-adventure video game set in a galaxy far, far away is coming to consoles and PC on Friday (April 28) and marks one of the most hotly anticipated games of the year.

Announced last year as the sequel to 2019 hit Jedi: Fallen Order, Jedi Survivor follows Cal Kestis, one of the last remaining Jedi after their near extinction following Order 66. Set five years after its predecessor, Cal is no longer a Padawan but a powerful Jedi Knight and continues his crusade against the Empire.

Its official synopsis reads: “Pushed to the edges of the galaxy by the Empire, Cal will find himself surrounded by threats new and familiar. As one of the last surviving Jedi Knights, Cal is driven to make a stand during the galaxy’s darkest times – but how far is he willing to go to protect himself, his crew, and the legacy of the Jedi Order?”
