Star Wars Jedi: Survivor release delayed to April

The highly anticipated video game "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor" has been hit with another delay, pushing its release date to April 28th, approximately six weeks after its original date. Fans of the Star Wars franchise and the previous game "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" were eagerly waiting for the release, but will have to wait a little longer for the latest installment in the series.

Respawn Entertainment, the developer of the game, has released a statement regarding the delay, stating that they want to ensure the highest quality experience for players and that the extra time will be used to further refine the game and make any necessary improvements.

However, Respawn Entertainment has promised that the extra development time will result in a better, more polished experience for players when the game is finally released.

The following is Respawn director Stig Asmussen’ full statement released on social media.

“For the last three years, the Jedi team here at Respawn has poured its collective heart and soul into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and we are proud to say the next chapter in the tale of Cal Kestis is content complete. We are now focused entirely on the final stage: bug fixes to enhance performance, stability, polish, and most importantly, the player experience.”

“Jedi: Survivor is a direct response to the feedback from our community, delivering expansive destinations to explore, evolved combat and traversal, and of course, the continuation of Cal and BD’s story. Making this game has truly made us a better team, and we have pushed ourselves at every level to make this the Star Wars sequel our fans expect from Respawn and Lucasfilm Games.”

“In order for the team to hit the Respawn quality bar, provide the team the time they need, and achieve the level of polish our fans deserve, we have added six crucial weeks to our release schedule - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will now launch globally on April 28th”.
