Soeren Kamper Uncategorized

On April 28, 2023, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor officially launched, and two years later, it’s still holding its lightsaber high as one of the most beloved Star Wars games ever made.

Winning hearts, minds, and even a GRAMMY Award (yes, a Star Wars video game soundtrack now has Grammy-level bragging rights), Jedi: Survivor proved that single-player storytelling in a galaxy far, far away is alive, well, and filled with plenty of wall-running.

Today, we’re looking back at what made this game an instant classic, where the story is headed next, and how you can still pick it up if your saber skills are feeling a little rusty.

Why Jedi: Survivor Is Still One of the Best Star Wars Games Ever

Described by many critics and players alike as the best Star Wars video game of all time, Jedi: Survivor took everything great about its predecessor (Jedi: Fallen Order) and cranked it up to eleven.

Key highlights include:

  • A deeper, darker story following Cal Kestis as he struggles against a galaxy tightening under Imperial rule.
  • Expanded worlds that feel massive, alive, and packed with secrets to uncover (and stormtroopers to surprise-attack).
  • Combat refinements that made parrying a stormtrooper blaster bolt feel better than ever.
  • Customization galore, from BD-1’s paint job to Cal’s very stylish new beard options.

Add in some brilliant acting from Cameron Monaghan (Cal Kestis) and a narrative that actually makes you feel the heavy burden of being one of the galaxy’s last Jedi, and you’ve got a recipe for a game that didn’t just meet expectations — it Force-pushed them off a cliff.

Awards and Achievements: A Grammy in the Galaxy

Jedi: Survivor didn’t just win player acclaim — it walked away with multiple awards, including:

  • Best Action/Adventure Game nominations
  • Best Performance for Cameron Monaghan nominations
  • And notably, a GRAMMY Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, celebrated on February 4, 2024.

This made it one of the few Star Wars games ever to cross over into major mainstream music recognition, because yes, even stormtroopers deserve a killer soundtrack while missing their shots.

What’s Next for Cal Kestis? The Trilogy’s Final Chapter Is Coming

In case you missed it, the story of Cal Kestis isn’t over yet. The third and final game of the Jedi trilogy has been in development since 2023, with Respawn Entertainment once again taking the reins.

While plot details are as closely guarded as the plans for the Death Star once were, it’s confirmed that this next entry will close out Cal’s arc — which likely means even tougher choices, bigger battles, and maybe (finally) some peace for our favorite space scrapper.

No official release date has been announced yet, but given the studio’s development timeline and high standards, patience will definitely be rewarded.

Final Thoughts: A Legacy Worth Fighting For

Two years after its release on April 28, 2023, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor remains a shining example of what happens when passion, storytelling, and top-tier gameplay come together. It respects its Star Wars roots while forging new paths — much like Cal Kestis himself.

As we await the final chapter, it’s safe to say that Survivor didn’t just survive — it thrived. And it raised the bar for what Star Wars games could, and should, be.

May the Force be with Respawn… especially when it comes to topping themselves one last time.
