Creative director Stig Amussen has teased a jump to Unreal Engine 5 should the story of Cal Kestis be made into a trilogy.
Set to launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S next month – on April 28, 2023, following a six-week delay – creative director Stig Amussen has been doing the publicity rounds for Respawn’s upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order follow-up, teasing what a future Star Wars Jedi: Survivor sequel could look like. A third entry into this Soulslike spin on the famous sci-fi series hasn’t yet been confirmed by EA, but that hasn’t dashed developer Respawn’s hopes for a trilogy.
“How can we take Cal and the crew to new places beyond what we were doing in the first game?,” he told IGN in a podcast interview. Even more tantalising, though, is the prospect of the franchise moving over to Unreal Engine 5 for the hypothetical game set after Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. “I think it’s a pretty safe assumption,” he said on the topic when asked.
