Erster Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Trailer
Nach einem ersten Tease (hier klicken) und einem weitere Leak (hier klicken) gab es nun den ersten Trailer und die ersten Screenshots zu Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, außerdem gab es sogar ein Release Datum. Respawn Entertainment und EA haben im Rahmen der Star Wars Celebration in Chicago Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order angekündigt, das am 15.11.2019 für Xbox One, PlayStation 4 und via Origin für PC erscheinen wird.
Das neue Third-Person-Action-Adventure soll eine authentische Story, die kurz nach den Ereignissen von Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith und dem Fall der Jedi angesiedelt ist. Fans spielen einen jungen Padawan namens Cal Kestis, der von Cameron Monaghan (Shameless, Gotham) verkörpert wird. Er hat Order 66 überlebt, den Geheimbefehl des Imperators zur Eliminierung aller Jedi. "Players must pick up the pieces of Cal’s shattered past to complete his training and master the art of the iconic lightsaber—all while staying one step ahead of the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors."
Die Spieler treffen hierbei Cal auf Bracca an, einem neuen Star Wars-Planeten und einem von mehreren neuen Schauplätzen, die mit dem Spiel eingeführt werden. "Cal is hiding from the Empire in plain sight but is forced to go on the run when he exposes his Force powers. Along the way, Cal will make new friends, like his mysterious companion Cere, as well as run into some familiar faces, all while being accompanied by his faithful droid BD-1. Cal’s flight from the Empire is made even more dangerous as he is being pursued by the Second Sister, one of the Empire’s elite Inquisitors, who seeks to hunt Cal down and extinguish this surviving Jedi. Assisting the Second Sister are the terrifying Purge Troopers, special Imperial forces trained to seek out Jedi and aid the Inquisitors in their dastardly work."
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order soll intensive Star Wars-Lichtschwertgefechte liefern, wie man sie aus den Filmen kennt. "[... Players will use their Jedi training to create different melee combinations with an innovative lightsaber combat system and Force abilities. Players will also use traversal and other platforming abilities to strategically overcome opponents and solve puzzles in their path across this galaxy-spanning adventure. Star Wars fans will recognize iconic locations, weapons, gear, and enemies, while also meeting a roster of fresh characters, locations, creatures, droids and adversaries new to Star Wars."
Stig Asmussen (Game Director Respawn Entertainment) äußerte sich wie folgt: "Many Star Wars fans, ourselves included, are really interested in the dark times, so we wanted to explore that mysterious, dangerous period. The team at Lucasfilm have been amazing collaborators, helping us explore and further develop this part of the timeline where the Empire is at the height of its power and any remaining Jedi are in hiding. Within this narrative, we’ve crafted a game with intense, yet thoughtful and fun melee combat using the lightsaber and Force powers, allowing anyone to fulfill their Jedi fantasy."
Steve Blank (Director Franchise Content & Strategy bei Lucasfilm) äußerte sich natürlich freudig über das Projekt: "When Respawn approached us with the idea for this game, we were immediately supportive. A single player, story-driven title in the Star Wars universe was exactly what we were looking for, and we know the fans have been eager for one, as well. Focusing on Cal stepping back into the shoes of a Jedi post Order 66 opens up a lot of gameplay opportunities and rich story threads to develop for this new character and his backstory."
Viel Spaß mit den ersten Screenshots und dem ersten Trailer:
