Following a few short teases and minor reveals, Respawn Entertainment has officially lifted the curtains on its single-player action adventure title, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order . Prior to the official unveiling, we’ve learned that it is not using the often EA mandated Frostbite Engine and will not feature multiplayer or microtransactions, and today Respawn has released the game’s first trailer.
Thanks to the official reveal stream, we have a story-based trailer that has been rendered in-engine. It’s worth noting that some of theseStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order details have leaked beforehand such as the identities of Cal who has three rules for survival: don’t stand out, accept the past, and trust no one. This trailer focuses heavily on the Padawan in hiding and gives us glimpses into his hiding in the Mid-rim, and bears the title “Trust Only the Force.”
This trailer showcases how dangerous using the Force for Cal is and how hunted the Jedi are during this time, as saving someone seemingly puts him in danger. Whether it be the dark side users portrayed or the Stormtroopers, Cal will be learning to use the force and defend himself in a time where his abilities are considered illegal and dangerous. That said, this trailer does not showcase any gameplay because, as Respawn mentioned, it wanted to focus on the story elements of the story-focused Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Although there is no gameplay shown, Respawn briefly mentions it during their panel. They discuss their approach of “thoughtful” combat that should hopefully effectively combine lightsaber combat and Force powers. Much else is unknown, but if rumors are to be believed, the combat of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be similar to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Without a doubt, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the biggest, most anticipated titles dropping this holiday season. For those interested in all things Star Wars, this means this game is launching around the time of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker , so expect it to be a Star Wars heavy season.
Following the game’s official reveal, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is now available to pre-order, and there’s a little bit of extra information on those pre-order pages too.
First off, pre-ordering the Standard or Deluxe version of the game will get players access to unique cosmetic “equipment” for your lightsaber and droid companion. While the Standard version just contains the full single-player experience, the Deluxe version will also include behind-the-scenes featurettes and even more cosmetic trinkets.

Pre-order the Deluxe Edition to also receive all of the unique pre-order bonus content.
A galaxy-spanning adventure awaits in STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order, a 3rd person action-adventure title from Respawn Entertainment. An abandoned Padawan must complete his training, develop new powerful Force abilities, and master the art of the lightsaber - all while staying one step ahead of the Empire.
As reported earlier this evening, the game will be launching this November and will feature an entirely single-player campaign mode. At the moment both versions of the game appear to be slightly discounted on the official Xbox Store, so this might be a good opportunity to leap on board.
Unfortunately there’s still not a lot of information about specifics, but according to the Microsoft Store listings as above, the game will feature HDR10 compatibility, 4K Ultra HD resolution and will be Xbox One X Enhanced. Fallen Order finally emerges on November 15th.
