Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a great contrast to Respawn Entertainment's past work and moved into third-person action with progression like "Souls." The game was well reviewed and even managed to exceed Electronic Arts ' expectations, but it also contained a few bugs that kept it from full size.
Speaking to US Gamer after the DICE Awards, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella said the studio was considering delaying the game to fix bugs, but ultimately it had to be released for the holiday.
"It's a game that really fits this time period," added Zampella, referring to the Star Wars initiative coming in late 2019 with The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker .
Bugs ranged from potentially game-breaking splashes to unexpected visual issues with the Respawn game, as the developer is known for bragging about Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends.
But despite the jagged details, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has done an excellent job of blending the genres. Its spirit-like progression is combined with Uncharted- like transitions and plenty of Star Wars fan service to give the game its own identity .
The game's indentation includes a story that feels more like it belongs in a Star Wars book, helping to bridge the gap between the prequel trilogy and the original movie.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
