A sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be announced just prior to E3 2022, gaming sleuth Jeff Grubb reckons. The GamesBeat journalist made the comment on the latest episode of his GiantBomb show GrubbSnax, which is behind a paywall. We will apparently be hearing about the sequel "in a significant way" before the big Los Angeles convention and a release this year is on the cards, but don't be surprised if the title slips into 2023.
With E3 2022 taking place in June, the annual Star Wars Celebration currently slated for the end of May appears to be the likely destination for the announcement. That's happening on 26th May 2022 through until the 29th, and is usually the place to be to catch glimpses of the next Star Wars flicks. We actually received a tipoff last month that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 (unlikely to actually be called this, but, you know) would be announced during The Game Awards, but that quite clearly didn't come to fruition.
If the rumour proves to be true — and it almost certainly is given the success of the original game — then Star Wars fans will have this to look forward to alongside Star Wars Eclipse and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake. That last one's a PS5 console exclusive, don't forget.
We loved Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order when it hit PS4 back in 2019, so a sequel is most welcome. In our 8/10 review, we said: "Six years after securing the license, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the publisher's first single-player, story-focused foray into the galaxy far, far away, but boy was it worth the wait. Respawn Entertainment's take on the series is one of the best Star Wars titles ever made." And while the PS5 version isn't exactly the most impressive, it's what we would recommend playing if you're looking to catch up ahead of this expected sequel.

The first one was really good. I’ll take an EA Star Wars game over a Quantic Dream one.
Excellent news if true! I really enjoyed Fallen Order. Definitely one of the better Star Wars titles out recently.
I was a huge fan of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series back in the day and Fallen Order, I feel, captures those vibes perfectly.
Brilliant first game, a few flaws that all new IP have, can't wait to see what they can do with a sequel.
I really hope so 🤞
I’m replaying the first one right now on the PS5 and it’s still awesome. So many things they could do with the story and the characters.
Excellent game.still got the ps4 physical copie of star wars jedi fallen order.looks amazing on my ps4 pro.cant wait for part 2.word up son
Love the first one. First title ive bought from EA day one in probably 10 years.
Loved the first one. Can’t wait to see what they do with the second!
Extremely overrated. It was an alright action-adventure game with a Star Wars skin.
The character models look horrendous.
The movement is floaty af.
The lightsabers are, again, baseball bats with lights.
The gameplay gets quite repetitive.
It got that much rave reviews because we were hungry for a good Star Wars game.
IMO, in case anyone was wondering.
@nessisonett this *** lol my same opinion about quantic dream
The first game was fantastic, i have the ps4/ps5 double platinum. I really hope we can plan with Merrin in some way in this one.
@Olmaz everyone has their own opinion but if you think about it some of the best star wars games Super Empire Strikes Back, Republic Commando, Galaxies, Empire at War, Episode III, Force Unleashed, Racer, etc. are "games" with a Star Wars skin, not eveything was KOTOR that's why we had a lot of them in the past and there wasn't anything wrong with that so having an alright action-adventure game with a Star Wars skin was the best move EA could made and the result was a game that for many of us was fantastic.
Lame. First one was really bad.
@dudeAmarillo Agree with your assessment, and my main issue with the game wasn't that it was "just a skin". It lacked polish, and a lot of things were flawed, or subpar (see my previous post).
But still very enjoyable, especially if, like me, you like 3rd person action-adventure games. It is still IMO very overrated, as if it is an incredibly good game, when I think it's our thirst for decent Star Wars games that made the industry think that about it.
The first one is being given away free on PC via Amazon Prime gaming, so that adds some credibility.
Just played Fallen Order Ps5 version over the Christmas holidays and it's up there with Resi Village as my favourite game of the year. Really looking forward to a sequel.
It was a solid game.
It had a lot of jank in it, though. I’m a fan of UE4, but that game exemplified all of UE4’s issues and it felt like Respawn and EA didn’t try to correct them with extra polish.
But I’m confident Respawn can work it’s flaws out with the sequel. They are a great development team.
Hope so. Love the first one. Please don't be cross gen
I really enjoyed the first one and can see myself buying this day one if it is of the same quality.
As long as the getting back to your ship without you getting lost gets sorted this is what I felt let the game down and put time on the game . Very frustrating
@willi3su did it not play properly on your switch?
Can we play as Trilla Suduri in this one please?
@LiamCroft Wait 26th May 2022 through until the 29th?
What about the annual May the 4th event, was that delayed or canceled?
@KidBoruto I'm not sure if there's an actual physical event tied to May the 4th, but Star Wars Celebration this year is during those dates you mentioned: https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-celebration-anaheim-2022-dates-changing
@LiamCroft Oh my bad, I didn't even know such an event existed.
I guess that means we will be getting no major updates on May 4th.
