Fans of Titanfall have been hoping for a new game for years but unfortunately, following the launch of Apex Legends, it seems all plans for a Titanfall 3 were dropped. We aren't likely to ever get the Titanfall 3 that Respawn originally planned, but according to sources this week, the studio is cooking up something new. 

Last week amidst a round of lay-offs and project cancellations, EA's CEO made it clear that the publisher would be pivoting away from ‘licensed' games once again to refocus on its own IP. It would seem that Titanfall is one such IP getting some newfound attention. According to industry insider, Jeff Grubb, who has accurately reported details on Respawn projects in the past, the studio is now working on a new game set in the Titanfall universe, with prototyping for gameplay currently taking place.

Currently, this project is a Titanfall project, as in, it is set in the same universe. Exactly how ‘in-universe' it ends up being still remains to be seen. While set in the Titanfall universe, Apex Legends has notable key differences from the original games, so there are different locations and time periods at play for a new game to slot into.

One would hope that perhaps some of the work put towards Respawn's cancelled Mandalorian game could be reused here. Those who had seen demos of the game in action described the first-person shooter gameplay as ‘fast paced', in large part thanks to the mobility provided by the jetpack, allowing players to zip up or to the side to avoid incoming fire. Some of the other gadgets described include a wrist rocket, grapple hook and multiple types of grenades, all of which would fit well within a Titanfall setting.

KitGuru Says: It might not end up being called Titanfall 3, but a new Titanfall game would certainly attract plenty of attention.

EA announced a wave of layoffs and game cancellations last week. Respawn Entertainment was one of the studios impacted, with its first-person Star Wars shooter scrapped. With EA seemingly wanting to ditch licensed games once again, questions have arose about several other projects within EA, including an upcoming Star Wars strategy game. 

Fortunately, it seems that the Star Wars strategy project is still intact for now, with Respawn Entertainment working alongside Bit Reactor on the game.

Respawn partnered with Bit Reactor back in 2022 for this untitled Star Wars strategy game. Bit Reactor has confirmed that it has been unaffected by the recent moves at EA:

Unfortunately, there is still no timeline on when we might see this game formally announced, or see any gameplay. However, the Star Wars license is one that lends itself very well to the idea of a big strategy game, so we'll have our fingers crossed and eyes peeled for more information in the months ahead.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: The game is still in the works and will hopefully be seen all the way through to release.

This week as part of a round of layoffs, closures and cancellations, EA has decided to no longer move forward with Respawn's Star Wars shooter. While not officially announced, recent leaks suggested that the game would focus on a Mandalorian bounty hunter, potentially bringing the Star Wars 1313 dream back to life. 

Recent leaks claimed that Respawn's first-person shooter, set in the Star Wars universe, would star a Mandalorian bounty hunter, giving players access to all the gadgets you would expect, including a grapple hook, jet pack for dodging, a wrist rocket and more. The game was said to be very fast-paced, but it would also have been a linear game, structured with a set of levels, rather than attempting an open world.

Now, Respawn's Mandalorian game won't see the light of day, although as with many other cancelled projects, new details and test footage may well leak out now that the game is no longer going ahead.

The cancellation is part of EA's effort to drop ‘licensed' games entirely from its portfolio, something EA CEO, Andrew Wilson, has expressed interest in before, in large part due to the costs and revenue shares associated with licensed games. This new shift comes at a pretty bad time, as Respawn had multiple Star Wars projects in the works, and other studios were beginning work on new Marvel games, including a Black Panther game, and an Iron Man game. The future of these projects is uncertain at this time.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: This cancellation is probably the one that disappoints me the most. Single-player first-person shooter games are still popular. Yes, DOOM might not sell as many copies as Call of Duty, but there is still plenty of room for a solid FPS campaign in today's industry. Better yet, Respawn's new shooter would have had the weight of the Star Wars license behind it and likely would have benefitted from a solid round of hype ahead of release, as Respawn is basically the only studio that has proven itself capable of making good Star Wars games in the modern era.

Despite recording record profits, in large part thanks to EAFC's microtransaction sales, EA is now letting go of hundreds of employees across its studios, cancelling projects and shutting down at least one studio.

We'll start off with the major cancellations. Respawn's in-development Star Wars shooter, claimed to be based on The Mandalorian, is no longer coming out, so the Star Wars 1313 dream is dead for a second time. Additionally, Ridgeline Games, the studio that just lost its director and was tasked with working on future single-player Battlefield campaigns, is shutting down entirely.

There are other unannounced projects that have now been cancelled, but chances are, some details on those projects will leak out sometime in the future.

EA is also planning to let go of 5% of its workforce, a move that will see around 700 employees losing their jobs. EA is framing this as a ‘restructuring' effort, as it intends to abandon licensed IP (like Star Wars) and refocus its efforts on franchises it wholly owns.

Exactly what this means for EA Motive's upcoming Iron Man game, or EA's Black Panther project, remains to be seen. It is also expected that while no more Star Wars games will be made by EA, Respawn will still wrap up its Star Wars Jedi series with a third game.

KitGuru Says: EA makes billions from its sports games alone, so it is hard to comprehend how the company found itself in a position where it needs to cut costs. Unfortunately, the folks impacted at EA are going out into an industry where most of the major companies have been undergoing layoffs, which could make finding new work quite tricky.

While we may be past the peak of the battle royale zeitgeist, Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends continues to go strong, with the free-to-play title set to see its 19th Season go live on the 31st of October. Alongside the many expected additions set to arrive with Apex Legends: Ignite, the team revealed that the game will finally get cross-progression upon the launch of the new season.

Making the announcement on their blog, Respawn Entertainment said “With the launch of Season 19, we’re excited to roll out Cross Progression in a phased deployment across existing platforms in Apex Legends. Keep an eye out for an in-game prompt to initiate the Cross Progression migration which will bring together your content and progression.”

Having been a long time coming, it is exciting to see that Apex Legends will finally be getting cross-progression. That said, it is worth noting that there are some limitations to the migration – especially with regards to cosmetics and in-game currencies, namely:

  • PS+ cosmetics are limited to PlayStation
  • Xbox Gold and Founder Edition cosmetics are limited to Xbox
  • The P.A.T.H. Legendary Skin is limited to Nintendo
  • Apex coins purchased on Nintendo’s platform remain exclusive to the console (PC, Xbox and PlayStation meanwhile will share a single wallet)

The full list of limitations can be found HERE, but even with these stipulations in place, it is exciting nonetheless to see that Apex Legends players will finally be able to share their overall progression across any and all platforms – even if it did take nearly 5 years to happen.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor director, Stig Asmussen, left Respawn earlier this month, calling into question the status of a third game. Fortunately, it would appear that those rumours can now be put to rest, with the actor behind the character Cal Kestis confirming that a third game is on the way.

Respawn's Star Wars Jedi titles were envisioned as a trilogy, with the director of the first two games confirming that he would like to make a third game in this series. However, Asmussen has now left, so it will fall on another Respawn veteran to take on the director mantle for the next game.

Respawn had previously hinted at a third Jedi game through job listings. Now, actor Cameron Monaghan, the performer behind main character Cal Kestis, has confirmed that a third game is on the way. As reported by VGC, Monaghan recently spoke at the Ocala Comic Con, saying that the team is “working on a third game” at the moment.

“We’re working on a third and we’re in the process of doing that right now. That’s a big undertaking and there have been some conversations so far, but hopefully when all things and said and done we’ll be able to go in and make something really cool.”

The next Star Wars Jedi game is still in pre-production, so it will be a few years before we see it in action.

KitGuru Says: It will be interesting to see where things go with a third Star Wars Jedi game. With Survivor, Respawn delved into the High Republic era, which was a huge surprise for me and helped shake things up from the usual Jedi VS Empire formula from this part of the Star Wars timeline.

EA had a very poor reputation among Star Wars fans prior to the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Respawn's take on the Star Wars universe reinvigorated our faith in Star Wars games but now, the director behind Fallen Order and its sequel is leaving the studio. 

Stig Asmussen, who led work on Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor, has “decided to leave Respawn to pursue other adventures”, an EA spokesperson confirmed to Bloomberg this week. In the meantime, “Veteran Respawn leaders will be stepping up” to guide future work on  Jedi: Survivor and any potential future projects.

Asmussen had said in an interview earlier this year that he would like to make a third game in the Star Wars Jedi series. Perhaps EA is choosing to move on from the adventures of Cal Kestis, leading to Asmussen's departure to work on other projects. This is purely speculation though – for all we know, there could very well be a third Star Wars Jedi game on the way from Respawn, in fact, there is some evidence pointing to exactly that.

We know Respawn has ideas for a third game and that Asmussen originally envisioned it as a trilogy, in keeping with the tradition set by the Star Wars films.

KitGuru Says: The Star Wars team at Respawn has done an incredible job. We can only hope that a potential third game will retain the same level of quality even with a change in director.

One of the biggest games of the year so far has been Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Developed exclusively for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, publisher EA has now revealed that they are planning to bring the title to last-gen systems. 

As reported by industry analyst Benji-Sales, during EA’s most recent earnings call the publisher revealed that Respawn Entertainment is currently working on bringing the current-gen exclusive Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

This announcement comes as a surprise, especially due to the fact that Jedi Survivor on the PS5 and Series X|S struggled with a number of performance woes at launch. It is hard to imagine what compromises will be required to get the game to run on these now almost decade-old consoles.

All that said, it is encouraging at least to see that Respawn were given the time needed to focus on the current-gen systems, only opting to work on backporting the game to the PS4 and Xbox One long after its initial release.

It will be interesting to see how long the game takes to find its way to these older systems – and just how well it will look/perform.

While Star Wars Jedi: Survivor didn't end on a big cliffhanger, there is plenty of room for a sequel. It would seem that Respawn is already working on that, with job listings hinting at a third Star Wars Jedi game. 

As shared on Reddit and Insider Gaming, Respawn has an open position for a Principle Game Writer to help create a new Star Wars Jedi game. The job listing was shared on LinkedIn, specifically noting the Star Wars Jedi team based in Los Angeles.

While Star Wars Jedi: Survivor had its performance issues on both PC and console, the game has received a number of patches since then. I ended up finishing the game on PS5 within a couple of weeks of release, which is extremely rare for me. The story had its hooks in me the whole way through.

Without going into detailed spoilers, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor doesn't really end on a major cliffhanger, but it does end with room for a potential sequel, perhaps with another multi-year time jump as we saw with the transition from Jedi: Fallen Order to Jedi Survivor.

Respawn has been hard at work on patches for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor since launch. Today, the fourth patch for the game has arrived on PC, promising a number of PC-specific performance and bug fixes.

The patch, which became available on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 earlier in the week, targets a number of lingering issues, from graphical glitches to gameplay and audio bugs and crashes. Unfortunately, the patch is unlikely to fix all issues at once, but it is another step in the right direction.

Here are the patch notes:

  • (PC only) Updated occlusion behaviour for raytracing, reducing idle time stalls.
  • (PC only) Updated streaming budgets that will help alleviate traversal hitching.
  • (PC only) Performance improvements for some VFX.
  • (PC only) Updated data handling when toggling raytracing, improving non-raytraced performance.
  • (PS5 only) Fixed an HDR value mismatch that would cause HDR setups to display incorrectly for PS5 users.
  • Fixed various save state errors.
  • Fixed a streaming issue that causes some streaming scenarios to end on a black screen.
  • Fixed an issue where one of the vents did not properly activate in Stone Spires.
  • Audio fix for a narrative moment where music was behaving incorrectly.
  • Fixed lightsaber marks not displaying correctly in some scenarios.
  • Fixed a scenario where the player could enter a progression-blocked state in the Lucrehulk.
  • Fixed an elevator to prevent the player from falling through it and entering a progression-blocked state.
  • Fixed a bug where Rayvis would become unbeatable.
  • Fixed a severe animation issue that would break a late-game narrative sequence.
  • Fixed a collision bug where players can get stuck inside a Meditation Chamber.
  • Added a note explaining that some of BD-1’s abilities are not available while in combat.
  • Improved text scrolling.
  • Minor text translation fixes.
  • Various crash fixes.

Respawn is also looking at more PC-specific fixes for future patches, including improved CPU core utilisation on newer Core i9 and Core i7 processors with efficiency cores, improved CPU and GPU utilisation with and without raytracing and a fix for gameplay hitching.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor was one of the most anticipated games of the year. Unfortunately, its launch was hampered by a great deal of issues across the board on both consoles and PCs. Bugs aside, the game seems to be a great improvement on all fronts, and so it is not surprising to see the sequel’s digital sales doubling that of Fallen Order.

As reported by gamesindustry.biz’s Christopher Dring “Although physical sales were down, with the digital data, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor actually beat Star War Jedi: Fallen Order's launch sales by over 30%. This is because Survivor's digital accounted [for] almost double what Fallen Order managed.”

It is worth noting that these sales figures pertain to its performance in the UK and nowhere else – though such trends are typically somewhat similar across markets.

Jedi Survivor’s sales are doubly impressive when considering the fact that the game was released exclusively on PC and current-gen platforms (PS5 and Series X|S) – meaning it managed to blow past its predecessor with far fewer systems available.

It is a shame for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to have launched in the state that it did, especially with how successful the game is proving to be. Hopefully EA and Respawn Entertainment are able to fix as many of the issues present as soon as possible.

Last week, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched in pretty rough shape across all platforms but so far, most coverage has focused on the PC version. Even Respawn's public apology only addresses PC performance, completely ignoring the fact that the console version is broken too. 

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has a number of issues right now. On PC, the game's DRM is extremely restrictive, to the point where you can only install the game on two PCs before getting locked out – which will slow down performance testing and benchmarking for places like Digital Foundry. It also likely means you won't see Jedi Survivor amongst benchmarked games for new graphics card reviews on sites like ours.

Beyond the heavy-handed DRM, CPU performance has been a big issue, especially if you have a ‘weaker' CPU paired with a more modern and powerful GPU.

Respawn's newly posted apology only addresses the PC issues, completely ignoring the fact that the game is also busted on consoles. I've played roughly 20 hours of the game on PS5 so far and the situation has only gotten worse as I have made my way through the story.

I pointed out some of these issues in some early impressions last week. On PS5, the game struggles, especially in performance mode. If you don't have a Variable Refresh Rate display you are going to see constant screen tearing. The game's performance mode also regularly slows down to a crawl, rarely ever sticking to the 60FPS target and often fluctuating. As we can see in some early benchmarks from Digital Foundry, the PS5 can drop to as low as 17FPS on the game's second planet, Koboh. This is in line with my experience but I must say there are equally troublesome performance fluctuations throughout the game, no matter which level you are on.

These drops happen while exploring and in combat, which leads to plenty of frustration points during gameplay. On a number of occasions, I have died during platforming sections due to a button press not registering, or Cal not dashing through the laser gate, or not grabbing onto a climbable wall, instead choosing to just slam into the obstacle and fall into the abyss.

I've encountered freezes when trying to move between areas, particularly in the Saloon on Koboh, where trying to walk through the back entrance and then through to the main bar can take ages as the game tries to load the area behind the automatic door.

The game has crashed on my PS5 three times so far, albeit during lengthy play sessions. The issues go far beyond the PC platform and it would only be right for EA and Respawn to acknowledge the glaring and major issues with the console versions too. In its current state, it is extremely difficult to recommend Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, especially in ‘performance' mode. You get more consistent results from Quality mode, but the issue then is that you are capped to 30FPS, which can feel sluggish – something you don't want in an action game that requires quick parries and well-timed combat moves.

I haven't mentioned bugs yet either. I haven't encountered anything that directly hinders my progress, but often I have noticed graphical pop-in and flickering. Some audio bugs lead to bad lip-syncing, or enemies continuing to make sounds long after being killed off. At first, you'll be wowed by these big new areas and the graphical improvement over the first game, but then the game actively struggles and breaks right in front of your eyes on a consistent basis, which really takes the sheen off the whole visual presentation.

The worst part about this is that through all of its problems, I actually really love this game. The story took me by surprise by going in a direction that I never would have predicted and ultimately, this could end up being my favourite ‘Star Wars' story in years. I love the new lightsaber stances and combat moves. Being able to explore and having quicker access to moves that help you get from A to B is also a big plus over the previous game.

However, in its current state, I don't think the game is going to get the full due it deserves. This needed more than an extra six weeks of development – for all platforms, not just one.

Titanfall 2 had a bad launch financially speaking, an issue mostly brought on by EA's insistence to release the game in Q4, right in the middle of Call of Duty and a major Battlefield game. Still, everyone who did play the game had glowing praise, especially for its campaign. There have been fans asking for Titanfall 3 for years and now, Vince Zampella is joining them. 

Vince Zampella is a founder and CEO of Respawn and has since gone on to take on additional duties after joining EA. In a recent interview with Barron's (via VGC), Zampella was asked if he'd like to see Titanfall 3 happen, to which he replied: “I hate to say yes, then people latch onto that, and then skewer you when it doesn’t come. But I would love to see it happen is the real answer.”

Whether or not Titanfall 3 can get off the ground anytime soon is another story. Apex Legends continues to be Respawn's main focus, and the studio's other teams are working on projects like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

In the interview, Zampella pointed out that Apex Legends sharing the Titanfall universe could complicate matters too: “Apex is the Titanfall universe, right? There’s how do you do something that doesn’t confuse people that are Apex fans, but not necessarily Titanfall fans yet. It’s a hard question to answer, but ultimately I would love to see something.”

KitGuru Says: While Titanfall 2 underperformed, the game was released at a poor time and a huge number of people who have since tried it have come away with positive things to say. With that in mind, I do hope that Respawn gets a chance to return to Titanfall some day.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor was one of the most anticipated games of the year, and while its release on the console side has mostly been met with praise (though still suffers from some performance woes), the PC port appears to be on a whole other level when it comes to issues. Responding to the backlash, EA has apologised and promises that fixes are on the way.

Taking to Twitter, the official EA Star Wars account released a lengthy statement, saying “We are aware that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor isn't performing to our standards for a percentage of our PC players, in particular those with high-end machines or certain specific configurations.”

The team continued, “For example, players using cutting-edge, multi-threaded chipsets designed for Windows 11 were encountering problems on Windows 10, or high-end GPUs coupled with lower-performing CPUs also saw unexpected frame loss. Rest assured, we are working to address these cases quickly.”

They then concluded by stating that “while there is no single, comprehensive solution for PC performance, the team has been working on fixes we believe will improve performance across a spectrum of configurations. We are committed to fixing these issues as soon as possible, but each patch requires significant testing to ensure we don't introduce new problems. Thanks for understanding and apologies to any of our players experiencing these issues. We will continue to monitor performance across all platforms and share update timing as soon as it is available.”

Over the past 12 months in particular we have seen a concerning number of PC games launch in problematic states. Whether it be a general lack of optimisation; shader compilation stutter; or memory leaks, far too many PC ports have in recent months released in unacceptable states. While it is good to see EA and Respawn committed to fixing Jedi Survivor, it is a shame to have the game’s launch tainted by such issues.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was delayed from its planned March release date to late April in an effort to polish up the game ahead of release. Unfortunately, the game has arrived today in pretty rough shape for all platforms. 

It would seem that Survivor could have done with a bit more time in development. The game officially became available to all players today following a round of positive reviews from the press earlier this week. A few of these reviews did mention technical issues but pointed out that they did not have access to the day-one patch. The day-one patch likely has helped fix up some of the problems, but glaring issues still remain.

The game has already launched to a ‘Mostly Negative' rating on Steam, an aggregate score from over 1,000 reviews so far both positive and negative. Many players have been quick to point out performance problems, with even high-end RTX 30 and RTX 40 series graphics cards struggling.

This isn't a simple case of a bad PC port, as there are issues on the console side too. I've played roughly three hours of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PS5 and the issues were noticeable very early on, which I'll note here without going into spoilers.

During the very first mission, there were sections with AI companions that caused choppy frame rates. On the second planet, when you get to the first open and explorable area, frame rates begin to swiftly tank as well, often into the 30FPS range, which can make combat sections in open areas much more of a chore compared to the combat sections in linear levels or closed-off areas like caves. In these isolated areas, the frame rate generally remains steady.

I've also noticed graphical issues when transitioning from gameplay to cutscenes, and those transitions can be quite jarring as you watch the frame rate swiftly throttle down from 60FPS to 30FPS.

Due to the erratic nature of the game's performance mode on PS5, it makes it tough to recommend. The game's Quality mode generally gives out more consistent results. It is capped at 30FPS, but at least you'll have consistency, which is something the performance mode sorely lacks right now.

We're a couple of days away from the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor but leaks have begun to hit the web. At this point, major plot spoilers are doing the rounds and EA is asking fans to avoid sharing them. 

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor doesn't release until Friday, but some have managed to get their hands on the game early and as a result, story spoilers and leaks are beginning to spread. These leaks include in-game screenshots and detailed story spoilers.

EA is already aware of the leaks and has tweeted out to warn fans that spoilers are doing the rounds. Not everyone cares about spoilers, but if you are the sort of person that likes to go into new games blind, then be careful reading anything Star Wars related for the next few days.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a direct sequel to 2019's Jedi: Fallen Order. The game is releasing on the 28th of April.

Respawn Entertainment hit it big with Apex Legends when the Titanfall spin-off Battle Royale launched in early 2019 – amassing an audience of well over 100 million players. The success of the free-to-play game has allowed for Respawn Entertainment to grow, with them announcing the opening of their 3rd studio; created to keep Apex Legends alive for “10, 15 years or more.”

As part of a lengthy interview conducted by Gamesindustry.biz, it was announced that Respawn Entertainment has opened their third studio, this one located in Madison, Wisconsin. The studio is being headed by Ryan Burnett, who spent 14 years working at Raven Software (one of the biggest support studios for Call of Duty).

Apex Legends has maintained a consistent output of content, with a new Season releasing every 3 months or so. The opening of this 3rd studio will assist in ensuring that this pace continues into the future.

Speaking of the future, it seems EA and Respawn have big plans for Apex Legends, with the team looking and planning far ahead – not just years but decades, with the game’s director Steven Ferreira saying:

“Team health is absolutely a top priority for us because we're in this for the long haul. We believe in Apex as a franchise that's going to be around for 10, 15 years or more and we're excited to make that happen. In order to do that, we can't just put everything all upfront, burn ourselves out and not be ready to do that in the long haul.”

Four years on from launch and Apex Legends seems to be stronger than ever. Whether the game will be able to remain so for the next decade and a half is unknown, but it is good to see that the team are being given the support they need to not only maintain their current success, but to hopefully grow it further.

While we've known about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for a long time now, EA and Respawn have kept a tight lid on any story details. In previous reveals, we learned that the game takes place years after the events of the first game, with Cal Kestis still on the run from the Empire. Today, the official story trailer for the game dropped, giving us plenty of information on what's to come.

The trailer is just under two minutes long and quickly reaffirms the timeline here, with Survivor taking place five years after Fallen Order. It would seem that Kestis and his crew believe they've found a safe haven from the empire and they are looking to hunker down there and protect it.

Aside from story teasers, the trailer also shows off a lot of new gameplay, including new planets, combat and puzzle sections and more. The official description for the game can be found below:

“The dark times are closing in as Cal Kestis seeks out a safe haven far from the reach of the Empire. Five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, a more mature Cal Kestis must look beyond his lightsaber to find his destiny in the shadow of the Empire. Familiar friends and new allies – Cere Junda (Debra Wilson), Greez Dritus (Daniel Roebuck), Merrin (Tina Ivlev), and the newly introduced mercenary Bode Akuna (Noshir Dalal) – stand by Cal’s side against the Empire and galaxy’s most ruthless foes. Cal’s quest will take him to new planets and familiar frontiers in the Star Wars galaxy, including Koboh, which is the home of the Bedlam Raiders.”

Star Wars Jedi Survivor will release on the 28th of April for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

KitGuru Says: Fallen Order was a fantastic game and so far, Jedi Survivor is shaping up to be a worthy sequel. There's just over a month left to go until release, so we'll be able to play it for ourselves soon enough.

Respawn surprised us all with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the studio is heading back for round two with a sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, later this year. This won't necessarily spell the end for this series though, as the director behind both projects has plans to potentially turn this into a trilogy. 

Speaking with IGN this week, Star Wars Jedi director, Stig Asmussen, revealed that he has “always wanted to see this as a trilogy”. While no third game has been confirmed yet, Asmussen already has some ideas in mind for where to take protagonist Cal Kestis next.

“I always wanted to see this as a trilogy”, Asmussen said. “We had a pretty decent idea of the timeframe where we wanted Survivor to take place, what the stakes were going to be, what the tone of the game was going to be, what Cal was going to be up against, and how the crew was going to factor into that. And there are ideas of what we could do beyond that as well.”

While Fallen Order and Survivor were both developed with Unreal Engine 4, Asmussen says that this hypothetical third game would likely make the jump to Unreal Engine 5.

If the reception to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor holds up, then EA will likely begin exploring a third game, but don't expect any official public announcements in the immediate future. Speaking of Survivor, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was recently delayed, pushing its release back from March 17th to the 28th of April.

Apex Legends is celebrating its 4th anniversary this month and to mark the occasion, EA and Respawn have just unveiled the game's biggest update ever. Apex Legends: Revelry is now rolling out to all platforms, making changes and updates to virtually every aspect of the game. 

The Revelry update includes an expanded new player experience, a complete rebalancing of the Legends roster, a new class system and of course, Team Deathmatch is also finally arriving in-game.

“Respawn’s philosophy on Apex Legends has always been about delivering that exciting moment-to-moment competitive FPS action that simply feels great for players,” said Steven Ferreira, Game Director, Apex Legends. “The 4th anniversary and launch of Revelry is an exciting next chapter in Apex Legends, setting up a new era with sweeping meta changes for the community that has been playing for years while providing new players the best entry point to drop into the Apex Games yet.”

As part of Revelry, Apex Legends will remaster its Legend Class system, dividing the roster of 23 Legends into new roles including Assault, Skirmisher, Recon, Controller and Support, each with their own special perks to make each class feel more impactful in a match. A new player experience through the Orientation Match system will provide those new to the Apex Games the ability to learn core mechanics through matches featuring bots and other new players.

Apex Legends is available for free across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC. The Revelry update is now live and rolling out to all players.

This week, EA reportedly cancelled a new single-player Titanfall game, which Respawn has been rumoured to be working on for quite some time. As it turns out, this particular title wasn't going to be the Titanfall 3 we were hoping for, instead leaning more into the Apex Legends side of things while mixing in some of the elements that players loved about the Titanfall games. 

According to Jeff Grubb on Giant Bomb, the cancelled game was going to turn Apex Legends into a ‘platform', where the multiplayer game coexists next to single-player experiences, similarly to how Call of Duty handles its yearly campaigns and Warzone.

The game, which was reportedly known internally as Titanfall Legends, was always planned to tie heavily into Apex Legends. Apparently, the game would have featured players taking on the role of Rampart, an Apex character. As Rampart, you would come across BT from Titanfall 2, and you would spend the campaign upgrading BT to take on bigger challenges as the story progressed.

Mechanics like wall running, and the Titans themselves would have returned here, with Apex Legends characters popping up throughout the story.

It is an idea that would have capitalised on the popularity of Apex Legends, but ultimately it wasn't meant to be. Perhaps Respawn will attempt this idea again some day, but for now, it looks like there won't be new Titanfall content anytime soon.

KitGuru Says: Given that Titanfall and Apex Legends share a universe theoretically, the two games are very different from each other, so meshing them might be a tough task. Our fingers remain crossed for a new Titanfall game in the future.

Over the last couple of years, there have been rumours that Respawn is working on a new single-player game set in the Titanfall/Apex Legends universe. The good news is, it seems the project was indeed real, the bad news is that EA reportedly cancelled this game recently. 

According to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, the game, which wasn't publicly announced yet, was being worked on by roughly 50 people at Respawn Entertainment. However, the game has now been cancelled, alongside the likes of Battlefield Mobile and Apex Legends Mobile. According to the report, some members of the team will be reassigned to other projects, while others may be laid off.

Titanfall2_02-e1471358284826.jpg

The game was being developed under the codename ‘TFL', which stands for Titanfall Legends, indicating that this game would help tie together Titanfall and Apex Legends in some way. Respawn showed that it is capable of delivering outstanding FPS campaigns with Titanfall 2, but unfortunately, Titanfall has been put on the back burner since then, with the majority of Respawn now focusing on Apex instead.

Whether or not Respawn will start over with a new Titanfall project remains to be seen. It is also worth noting that Respawn has grown significantly since becoming part of EA, with multiple teams working on projects both big and small. Aside from Titanfall and Apex Legends, Respawn also works on the Star Wars Jedi games, including 2019's Fallen Order and its upcoming sequel, which is launching in April.

KitGuru Says: Titanfall 2 had such a good campaign and it continues to be hugely disappointing that we've not seen a Titanfall 3. Hopefully one day Respawn gets to bring Titanfall back to the forefront, but it won't be happening in the immediate future.

Apex Legends Mobile has only been around for a short while and Battlefield Mobile only just recently began public testing. In a surprise move, it looks like EA has pulled the plug on both projects and it also appears to be shutting down one of its mobile development studios. 

Last night, EA announced that it is shutting down Apex Legends Mobile, in part due to struggles in delivering post-launch content. The publisher acknowledges that the game got off to a “strong start”, but the post-release content pipeline has “begun to fall short” in terms of “quality, quantity and cadence”.

It is worth noting that Respawn wasn't working on Apex Legends Mobile, instead, the bulk of the development work was contracted out to Lightspeed and Quantum Studios, which previously found success working on PUBG Mobile. Apex Legends Mobile will officially shut down on the 1st of May.

As for Battlefield Mobile, the publisher seemed to have high hopes for it, but following on from beta tests in late 2022, the publisher has decided to “pivot from the current direction” and as a result, the game is being scrapped. The studio behind it, Industrial Toys, is also shutting down.

KitGuru Says: It would seem that EA is scaling back on its plans for ‘AAA' mobile games. For whatever reason, Apex Legends Mobile couldn't keep up with tough competition from the likes of Fortnite Mobile, PUBG Mobile and other big name shooters. As for Battlefield Mobile, that game won't be seen through to launch. Did any of you try Battlefield Mobile in beta, or Apex Legends Mobile? What did you make of those games?

For many, 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order served as one of the best Star Wars games to be released, thanks to its focus on offering a single player story while also making the act of swinging a lightsaber feel fun. The team at Respawn Entertainment are not resting on their laurels however, as Fallen Order’s sequel looks set to be taking gameplay up a notch.

Ahead of the game’s release on the 17th of March 2023, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen took part in an interview with Game Informer where they discussed the many upgrades coming with Jedi Survivor – in particular the addition of fighting stances – saying:

“We have five fully realized stances in the game. A lot of it depends on the enemy that you're coming across. It's advantageous to use certain types of stances against certain types of enemies, and it's up to the player to figure that out. It requires the player to break down the enemies and figure out what the best weapon of choice is.”

Some of the stances shown off so far include a dedicated dual blade stance; a blaster and lightsaber combo; and a heavy stance utilising a crossguard lightsaber – to name a couple. These new additions not only serve a gameplay purpose, but also reflect the themes of the story itself, with Asmussen explaining:

“It really speaks to where we find Cal in this part of the story. It's five years since the first game, and the dark times are still in full swing. He's an unconventional Jedi, and he has to do unconventional things. So, something that would be frowned upon during the height of the Jedi Order? Cal's finding he's going to do whatever it takes.”

Star Wars Jefi: Fallen Order was already so well received, it will be interesting to see how well the follow-up performs, especially with so many new additions being put in place. The full interview can be found HERE.

Just yesterday we reported that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – the sequel to 2019’s much-loved action-adventure title from Respawn Entertainment – looks set to be arriving in March 2023 thanks to an update on the game’s Steam page. Following this, EA has now confirmed that we will get our first look at gameplay this Thursday during The Game Awards.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official EA Star Wars account said “The journey continues… Experience the action-packed gameplay of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor @thegameawards – streaming live Dec. 8”

Set 5 years after the conclusion of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, we currently know little about what Jedi: Survivor will be about – though it has been confirmed that Cal Kestis will be returning.

Alongside the announcement, EA released a promotional poster showing Cal and his droid companion BD-1 stood atop rocky terrain. Interestingly, Cal seems to be equipped with a blaster of some kind alongside his Lightsaber, suggesting perhaps that combat will be expanded in multiple ways.

Fortunately, we won’t have to wait long to see what Star Wars Jedi: Survivor looks like, as official gameplay will be showcased in just a few short days on Thursday the 8th of December.

While EA has not yet announced a release date for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, it has been heavily rumoured in the past that the game will launch in March 2023. Now, according to an update to the game's Steam Store page, those rumours were correct.

The release date for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been revealed, after EA accidentally published the date on its Steam page. While the Steam Store page was simply updated to show a March 2023 launch, it is likely that we'll be getting a new trailer and a proper release date very soon. Given the timing of this, the new trailer may end up dropping as part of The Game Awards later this week.

While EA has not yet announced a release date for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, it has been heavily rumoured in the past that the game will launch in March 2023. The game will be available on PC, Xbox and PlayStation. The release date was later removed from the store page, but we expect to see it updated again later this week following an official announcement.

While we don't know a ton about the sequel's story, we do know that it takes place five years after the events of the first game, with our main protagonist Cal returning once again.

KitGuru Says: This will undoubtedly be one of the biggest games of the year, especially if Respawn can capitalise on everything that made the first game so good, and bring some improvements here and there. Personally, I'd like to see a new map system, as the 3D maps from the first game were quite confusing.

We're a month into Q3 of the fiscal year and as a result, many companies are now releasing their earnings reports for the previous quarter and giving updates on upcoming products. EA is no different, teasing a ‘major IP' launch for early next year. 

As part of EA's recent earnings call, the company confirmed to investors that it plans to release a new game under a ‘major IP' before the end of March 2023. Unfortunately, the company isn't confirming exactly what game it is referring to, but we already have a pretty good candidate in mind.

It has long been rumoured that Respawn's upcoming sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, is planned for an early 2023 release. EA was not referring to Dead Space Remake with its comments, which is coming out in January, and it also likely wasn't referring to Wild Hearts, as that is a brand new IP set in a genre that EA has not really explored before.

Chances are, when EA said ‘major IP', it was referring to Star Wars. During the call, EA's CEO, Andrew Wilson, also explained a little bit about changes the company has made to marketing, preferring to ramp up the hype for new games closer to their release dates, rather than having long and drawn-out marketing cycles.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was announced earlier this summer with a 2023 release date, but we still know very little about gameplay changes, story and of course, we do not yet have a final release date. Perhaps that will change at The Game Awards in December.

KitGuru Says: The next Star Wars Jedi game was already rumoured for a Q1 2023 launch. Hopefully, the project is on track to meet that, as we've seen many unfortunate delays over the last couple of years.

Earlier this year at Star Wars Celebration, Respawn and EA officially announced Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the highly anticipated sequel to Fallen Order. Officially, the game's release date is currently ‘2023' but new evidence points to a March release date. 

This week, two new Star Wars Jedi books were announced, which will continue and expand on Respawn's slice of the Star Wars universe. One of these books will take place in between Fallen Order and Survivor, bridging some of the time gap between the two games. According to Jeff Grubb, who has been very active (and accurate) when it comes to reporting on Jedi Survivor, the new game will also be coming out in March.

This isn't an entirely new rumour, as the PlayStation Store previously listed the game as launching in ‘early March 2023', but the new report suggests that nothing has changed and the game is still on track for that release date.

If the game is coming in early 2023, then we should get another look at the game before the end of the year. So far, we've only had a brief teaser, and the promise of a darker story, so we still need to see gameplay and get confirmation on story details.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: 2022 has been filled with delays and we've had some very barren months. Hopefully in 2023, more major releases can meet their planned release dates, with a more even spread throughout the year.

EA CEO responds to buyout and merger rumours https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/ea-ceo-responds-to-buyout-and-merger-rumours/ https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/ea-ceo-responds-to-buyout-and-merger-rumours/#respond Wed, 03 Aug 2022 10:31:28 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=569893 EA has made a number of big acquisitions in recent years, adding Respawn Entertainment, Codemasters and most recently, Playdemic.

EA has made a number of big acquisitions in recent years, adding Respawn Entertainment, Codemasters and most recently, Playdemic. Still, that didn't stop EA's name from being mentioned in buyout rumours earlier this year. This week during EA's quarterly earnings call, CEO, Andrew Wilson, addressed the elephant in the room. 

Back in May, it was reported that EA has been actively pursuing a buyout, but not necessarily to merge with another gaming publisher. It was claimed that EA was looking to the likes of Comcast, Disney, Universal, Amazon and possibly even Apple. However, it was also claimed that EA wanted to retain its autonomy and keep Andrew Wilson on as CEO post-merger.

This week during EA's earnings call (via IGN), CEO, Andrew Wilson, touched on this subject, saying that while he doesn't want to respond to “rumours and speculation”, he does believe that EA is in the strongest position possible as a standalone company and added that they are on track to be the biggest independent publisher in the world. Wilson ended by saying:

“Our objective is always to take care of our people, our players, and our shareholders. Should there ever be a way for us to do that differently than the way we're doing it today, I of course have to be open to that, but I would tell you today we feel very very confident and excited for our future.”

As it stands, EA did have a good quarter, with revenue being up year-on-year and ‘live service' titles accounting for the majority of the company's earnings. Due to this, the company hasn't really been impacted by the lacklustre performance of Battlefield 2042. Looking ahead, EA will have more Sports titles to close out this year, and next year will see the launch of multiple major single-player projects, including Dead Space Remake and Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: EA is having a quiet year outside of sports, in part due to the lack of interest in the latest Battlefield. However, earnings haven't taken a hit and there are promising single-player projects coming in early 2023 and beyond. With that in mind, it seems unlikely that EA will sell anytime soon.

A few months ago, EA and Respawn officially announced Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a sequel to Fallen Order. We already know the game is due to launch in 2023, but we could be playing it as early as March. 

Recently, the PlayStation Store updated with a new page for Jedi Survivor, listing an ‘early March' 2023 release window, as pointed out by PSN tracker, PS Game Size.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a sequel to Fallen Order, set five years after the events of the first game. Stig Asmussen, creative director of Fallen Order and God of War 3, will return as game director.

Players will take on the role of Cal Kestis once again on a new journey across multiple planets, all while trying to stay under the Empire's radar. The sequel will be next-gen only, meaning it'll be heading to Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.
