Steam leaks Star Wars Jedi: Survivor release date ahead of The Game Awards presentation

It looks like Valve's digital games distribution platform beat Electronic Arts to the punch by a couple of days.


Jedi Survivor

If we could only name one great game that came out of Electronic Arts’ 10-year exclusivity deal with Disney and the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is atop the list. It’s easily one of the best Star Wars games of all time. The 2019 action-adventure game is so good that people are actually looking forward to the sequel, which, according to the most recent leak, will be out by March 16.

In its most recent earnings call, EA all but confirmed that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will launch in March. Now, a new update to the game’s Steam page essentially confirmed this is the case.

Here’s an excerpt of the game’s updated description, as spotted by Wario64:

The Dark Times are closing in, and with enemies new and family surrounding him, Cal will need to decide how far he’s willing to to save those closest to him.

According to the same leak, the sequel’s minimum and recommended PC requirements are a GTX 1070 and an RTX 2070, respectively. Finally, it reveals the game’s release date, which is March 16.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will have the advantage of being a current-gen exclusive game.

Now that we know when Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will come out, we can look forward to seeing what else EA has in store for the sequel at The Game Awards.

Geoff Keighley had just confirmed it will be a part of the upcoming showcase, joining the likes of Tekken 8 and Final Fantasy 16, alongside a slew of others that remain unconfirmed like Death Stranding 2 and Diablo 4. More importantly, Survivor now joins a sort of late Christmas outing for gamers in March.

Continuing a trend that started a few years back, March will be a big month for gaming and will see Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and the Resident Evil 4 Remake as well as Skull and Bones all come out in the same month. We’re likely to see more games be added to that list in the coming weeks.

As for EA and Respawn Entertainment, now that they’re almost done with Survivor, we hope that other Star Wars games can be revealed as in the works over at the Titanfall studio.
