The future ofStar Warsgames is looking good, especially with titles like theKnights of the Old Republic Remakeand open-world UbisoftStar Warsgames in the works. As EA’s exclusivity contract comes to an end relatively soon, the floodgates are bound to open with EA still working on its ownStar Warsgames. Right now,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2might be EA’s biggest and worst-kept secret.
Last year, EA revealed that it wouldn’t discuss any newStar Warsgames until this year, but when and where this year remains a big question mark. It also referred toStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderas its own franchise, and since a single entry hardly denotes a franchise, many have been speculating and expressing their hopes for the new game.

Now, thanks to Jeff Grubb, fans may very well know when to expectJedi: Fallen Order 2. Plans change though, so fans should still take this with a grain of salt. But, according to Grubb,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2is likely to be announced sometime beforeE3 2022. In other words, in the first half or so of this year, fans will learn about it in a “significant way.” E3 would be a big stage presence for it, but at the same time, that doesn’t stop a proper announcement/reveal from coming before an E3 stage presence.
Notably, Grubb also suggests this could come around May—which as fans know could point to a specific date in particular. May 4 is Star Wars day, and so EA announcingJedi: Fallen Order 2onStar Wars Daywould be a major way to celebrate the overarching franchise. What fans should note is that an early 2022 announcement doesn’t guarantee a late 2022 release forStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2.
On the one hand, it absolutely could though. GettingStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2in the second half of the year would just pump 2022 up even more, especially considering all theanticipated video games releasing in 2022. On the other hand, of course, there is still the pandemic to consider. Grubb himself mentioned that a late 2022 release date is possible but that it could still slip into 2023. A lot is unknown, but knowing that a reveal could be happening sometime before E3 is still pretty big for fans.
Again, though, things could change. Fans should keep an eye out for moreStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2newsbut also keep in mind that the gaming industry has been impacted and continues to be impacted in many untold ways by the pandemic.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2is reportedly in development.
