There are lots of video games based on Star Wars in development but we only had one marked on our calendars: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The good news in this regard is that Respawn has confirmed that the game is playable from start to finish. The not so good is that it will take longer than desired to get hold of it. Being more specific, the new official release date becomes next April 28. What happened?
With an initial release scheduled for March 17, both LucasFilm Games and the team behind sagas like Titanfall o Apex Legends They anticipate that the next chapter in the Cal Kestis story is now complete, but that they need to improve performance, stability, polishing and, above all, the player experience.
as specified in the official statement from Respawn, the period of a month and a half has been extended to offer an action game up to the task. And we are not going to deny it, there is a huge difference between a game being finished and that it is really ready to be released.
In order for the team to meet Respawn’s standard of quality, be given the time it needs, and achieve the level of polish our fans deserve, we’ve added a crucial six weeks to our release schedule.
However, it is worth remembering that with the new date several of the most anticipated titles of the year will come together: Dead Island 2 will also go on sale on April 28 and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will arrive not long after. In any case, March is also a month in which there will be joy, starting with the new arrival of Resident Evil 4.

Although the launch of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor leaves it at the gates of a very special May 4 for Star Wars fans (because of May the 4th), the truth is that LucasFilm Games has a wide variety of events ahead of it. projects to further expand the Star Wars universe.
In fact, the next appointment, without a date, will come to mobile phones and Nintendo Switch thanks to Star Wars: Hunters and new titles will arrive on the horizon, among which the remake of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Eclipse and an unnamed open world game on behalf of Ubisoft.
However, the machinery does not stop: today was announced on the official website of Licasfilm that the novel Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, which serves as a prequel to the video game, will be available from March 7. Although, of course, we understand that all articles directly related to its contents, such as official art books, will rethink their availability.
Miyamoto once said that a game released late can be a good game, while an early game will always be bad. The truth is that when he said it, pre-release patches and those that are released afterward were not very common on consoles, but if in the process we are going to come up with an even better sequel, Welcome are those extra days.
