Happy 5 Year Anniversary to Jedi: Fallen Order!

n 2019, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released and changed the future of Star Wars gaming forever!

Looking back:

• Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released on November 15th, 2019 and was considered a massive success by fans and critics alike
• The game boasted 10 million players within the first year and doubled that number to 20 million within 18 months
• Reviews lauded the game’s combination of athletic platforming and tactile lightsaber combat along with a healthy expansion of Star Wars lore
• After quite a few years without a notable single-player game, Jedi: Fallen Order proved that the Star Wars audience wanted this type of story which has led to the development of additional games like Star Wars Outlaws

Diving deeper:

• The game introduced the Mantis crew including Cal Kestis, Cere Junda, Merrin, Greez Dritus, and BD-1 who all made appearances in other media like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Dark Temple and Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars
• Fallen Order took players to brand new planets like Zeffo and Bracca as well as familiar locations like Dathomir, Kashyyyk, and Ilum
• Based on the success of the first game, a sequel, Jedi: Survivor was released just over 3 years later

Looking ahead: The third and final game in the Jedi series is currently in development and will reportedly end the story of Cal Kestis that began so brilliantly four years ago today.
