Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order fixed up the damage caused by Star Wars: Battlefront 2 faster than a jawa sells a droid, going on to sell more than 8 million copies at launch. Publisher Electronic Arts expects Fallen Order to blow past 10 million units by the end of March 2020. Who was it who said single-player games were dead?
Taking all that into account, it comes as little surprise to hear Respawn Entertainment is already at work on a sequel, or at least that’s the word of the ever reliable Jason Shreier, of Kotaku.
“Today, EA has two new Star Wars games in development—a sequel to Jedi Fallen Order at Respawn and a smaller, more unusual project at EA Motive in Montreal, Canada,” said Schreier.
EA loves only one thing more than a hit, and that’s sequels to a hit. As sure as weirdos will complain about every new Star Wars movie like it’s killed their mum, a sequel to Star Wars Jedi is in development.
The writing was on the wall back in December though, with Respawn hiring for a Senior Software Engineer to become a part of the “Star Wars Team”. At the time Respawn said “We’re looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer who will embrace our philosophy and share his/her hard earned expertise to create an incredible Star Wars experience for our players. We’re picturing someone who is passionate about the Star Wars™Universe and is invigorated by the idea of coding third person action/adventure games.” That should be about as much confirmation as you could possibly need.
With Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order 2 now a dead cert, what direction would you like to see Respawn take a sequel? Any particular changes or improvements you’d expect? Let us know!

Can lighting strike twice? I sure hope so because this game was surprisingly good.

But single player games are dead. I was looking forward to a live service game with a meaningless open world, filled with repetitive side quests, with grind and micro transactions and a choice for me to fast track my progress.

Despite all the hype and initial impression, actually playing Fallen Order made me see it's not my type of game. I didn't like the gameplay with respawning, losing earned stuff until you damage your killer etc and overall it felt a bit childish, like someone below said. Not a bad game, it's pretty similar to Force Unleashed, but it's distinctive enough for me to not appreciate it. Will try the second one just as eagerly, though

I wish they would add more side quests and more post game missions. By the time i finished the last story mission i literally had nothing left to do. I had already collected all upgrades, cosmetics, seeds, codex entries & explored 100% of all holo maps
PC Specs
me too! too short!
PC Specs
Considering how well they did with Titanfall 2 and Jedi,i cant wait for the next one!
PC Specs
respawn, may the force be with you!!

more hours to finish the game not 15-20 only
and more immersive an story driven, not so childish
PC Specs
I have been playing the game for 30hours and still haven't finished it.
PC Specs
and what are u doing? just walking! the story is very short even if u keep lookin for secrets
PC Specs
I just wish they take their time and develop a quality game, instead of being forced to rush it to capitalize on the success of the first one.
PC Specs
It is EA we are talking about...

We can only wish that Psychoman is right..
