Well, it seems that in addition to some new key art for it, we’re also going to get Star Wars Jedi: Survivor itself fairly soon. At least, if you believe this leak about the long-awaited sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. And to be fair, it does seem legit. I mean, how much more legit can you get from Steam?
A Loose-Lipped Steam?
As it turns out: the source of this leak is actually Steam. Or rather, the official Steam page for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Apparently, said Steam page accidentally leaked the game‘s release date when the page went live. While Steam has since then corrected this error, the magic of screenshots/screencaps have resulted in this error being preserved for all to peruse. As Twitter user Wario64 is showing us:
As you can see above: Steam had accidentally revealed the release date for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to be March 15, 2023. Steam has since then changed the release date to “Coming soon”. However, they can’t make us unsee this. As Steam notes, it’s only about 3 months away. Thus, we won’t have long to wait to find out if this leak is true or not. Or heck, maybe Respawn or Electronic Arts can even clarify the release date themselves before then? Well, we’ll just have to see at a later date. In the meantime, you can wishlist the game on Steam if you want to keep up with the details as they come out. Or you can tune back in to THS later to find out when we do.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ~ Other Details
If you thought the leaked release date was bad enough for Steam, then you haven’t seen anything yet. It seems that in addition to accidentally showing us the release date, Steam also accidentally revealed an official synopsis and gameplay details for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. While it doesn’t just hand us the entire story, it does reveals some interesting details about it. Same goes for the gameplay details, with the details being vague enough to pique your interest without giving anything specific away. If you can’t read it above for some reason, then you can check it out below:
