With 2023 comes more video game delays. Despite 2023 already looking to be a stacked year full of amazing videogames, some delays hurt more than others. Last year, EA gave Star Wars fans a sneak peek at Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. During The Game Awards, EA & Respawn Entertainment showcased an extended gameplay trailer of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor; after the trailer, it was revealed that the game would be released on March 17th, 2023. Now with less than two months until the game’s release, Respawn Entertainment has announced that the game will be delayed. Don’t worry Star Wars fans, it won’t be for six months or a year.
In a post on Twitter, The EA Star Wars account released a statement saying,
Delay Tweet
“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.
Thanks to EA and Respawn for giving us the time to deliver the best experience for our players, and to all of you for understanding.
May the Force be with you
Stig and the Star Wars Jedi Team.”

With the game delayed till April, many fans can expect the best possible experience. Hopefully, all force users can enjoy the upcoming game.
Sadly, Jedi Survivor launches the same day as Dead Island 2. Which game will you pick up?
