Respawn Entertainment's long-awaited Star Wars game is Dear Utol (2025): Week 7 Highlights 40about a Jedi on the run. More importantly: it's leaving all the recent Star Wars game baggage behind.
That's a big deal, and the news Respawn's Star Wars Celebration actually led with. Before they even got to detailing anything about the game's story and setting, they confirmed that Fallen Orderis a story-driven single-player game with no loot boxes, no multiplayer, and no microtransactions.
SEE ALSO: J.J. Abrams wrote 'Star Wars Episode IX' scenes around Carrie Fisher's existing footage from 'The Force Awakens'The game is described as a third-person "melee game," with you playing as a Force-wielding, lightsaber-swinging Jedi named Cal Kestis. Respawn's first trailer skips gameplay in favor of story-focused cutscenes, featuring the young, on-the-run Jedi running through his three rules for survival in a post-Order 66 galaxy.
When the story opens, Cal works for a scrapper's guild, salvaging wrecks from the galaxy-spanning Clone Wars in exchange for cold, hard credits. He's just trying eke out an existence and lay low now that all of his fellow Jedi have been wiped out.
The panel confirmed that Cameron Monaghan is the voice and face behind Cal Kestis. Monaghan is perhaps best known for his roles on Shamelessand Gotham.
Respawn is known best as the studio behind the Titanfall series, with the second entry in that series being an item of interest here. Titanfall 2was notably the first game in that series to include a single-player story mode, and that side of the game was hailed by critics and fans alike for its inventive gameplay and jaw-dropping level design.
As a series, Titanfall is all about fast movement and high-flying action. You don't need to think too hard to imagine how that particular flavor of action could be applied to more of a Jedi-centric Star Wars setting.
Fallen Orderis publisher Electronic Arts second attempt at a story-driven Star Wars game, after 2017's Star Wars: Battlefront II. Though in that earlier example, the story mode was added to a game that is fundamentally built around competitive online play. So while the writing was very strong and the set pieces impressed, the story mode as a whole didn't sell the fantasy of a Star Wars adventure as effectively as it could have.
Hopefully, Respawn's up-front focus on telling a story in a galaxy far, far away means better things await in Fallen Order. We'll find out when it arrives on Nov. 15, 2019.
