Although Star Wars movie and TV news was prominent at Star Wars Celebration 2019, one of the most exciting reveals of the event was video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Developed by Titanfall studio Respawn Entertainment, Jedi: Fallen Order will be released on November 15, 2019.

Jedi: Fallen Order had Star Wars fans wondering about it since it was initially revealed in 2018. The topic of much discussion, particularly given the struggles of publisher EA to release Star Wars games worthy of the license and last year's loot box debacle surrounding Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Jedi: Fallen Order needs to be a hit to help alleviate doubts over EA's use of the property. Following Star Wars Celebration, at the very least the community knows a little more of what to expect.

Respawn Entertainment shared plenty of details about Jedi: Fallen Order as part of its panel. With that in mind, here's everything that was revealed as part of Star Wars Celebration.

The Story of Jedi: Fallen Order

The most exciting part of the reveal was Jedi: Fallen Order's inaugural story trailer, which confirmed an awful lot about where the game is set within the context of the wider Star Wars lore. Taking place after the events of Revenge of the Sith, but before A New Hope, Jedi: Fallen Order revolves around the fallout of Order 66. This action was the one that led to the near-destruction of the Jedi, as they were hunted down by the forces of the Emperor.

Enter Cal Kitsis. Cal is the playable character of Jedi: Fallen Order, and is a Jedi Padawan who escaped Order 66. Played by Cameron Monaghan of Gotham, Cal has been hiding his Force sensitivity for some time, but after being forced to reveal himself he must go on the run under pursuit from forces including Purge Troopers and the Second Sister of the Inquisitors – the group made infamous by the events of Star Wars Rebels.

Along the way, it looks like Cal is going to visit plenty of new places for Star Wars fans. Cal's journey will start on Bracca, which is one of many new locales that Respawn Entertainment is going to include within Jedi: Fallen Order. But if that footage of the Star Destroyers at the scrapyard in that trailer is anything to go by, there's going to be plenty that's familiar to Star Wars fans as well.

Cal does appear to have some help in his escape from the Inquisition. The Jedi Padawan will have a droid companion called BD-1, but also will have Cere for support, a former Jedi Knight played by Debra Wilson who will reportedly act as Cal's mentor. However, given how much the trailer warned players to "trust no-one," it might be worth keeping a close eye on those who come to Cal offering help.

Jedi: Fallen Order Gameplay Details

Respawn Entertainment did not show any gameplay of Jedi: Fallen Order at Star Wars Celebration, which was a disappointment for those wanting to see the game in action. The developer was able to share a fair few details about how the game will play, however. Thankfully, this provides a decent base line for what fans should expect from Jedi: Fallen Order.

For starters, Respawn has been adamant that Jedi: Fallen Order is a single player, microtransaction-free experience. This was first announced before the more in-depth session, but Respawn reiterated as much throughout, as if to separate it out from the troubles of Visceral or the well-deserved ire of Battlefront 2 - not that the gaming community will forget quickly. With that in mind, players should expect something of a more straightforward, less predatory experience than EA's previous Star Wars games – although Jedi: Fallen Order will still offer up some cosmetic DLC as part of its inevitable deluxe edition release along with a few extra bits and pieces.

Jedi: Fallen Order will be a third-person, action-heavy experience with an emphasis on melee combat. This will reportedly include both lightsaber combat and the use of Force powers, in line with previous games that put players in the shoes of a Jedi. Since Cal doesn't appear to have been fully trained before Order 66, it will be interesting to see how he fares using some of these powers.

Respawn explained that Jedi: Fallen Order revolves around "thoughtful combat." This means players will need to exploit enemy weaknesses in an easy to pick up, difficult to master system that tests the user's ability to understand mechanics and use all their tricks and tools to succeed. That certainly sounds like a good basis for a combat system, with Cal's skill growing alongside the player.

It's not just Cal that will improve over the course of Jedi: Fallen Order, either. His lightsaber will be upgradable too, although at the moment the details on how this upgrade system will work are few and far between. Perhaps it will allow the player to customize the lightsaber in some way, or add some variation in combat styles as seen in games like Jedi Academy.

Everything Else You Need To Know

Unlike other Respawn games, Jedi: Fallen Order is purely single player. Although Respawn did put together a great campaign for Titanfall 2, the studio is known predominantly for its multiplayer efforts. Jedi: Fallen Order is being put together by a new team at Respawn, and headed up by director Stig Asmussen, of God of War fame.

That's not the only big name who is attached to Jedi: Fallen Order. Chris Avellone has worked as a writer on the game, and his previous writing credits include the fantastic Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and Prey, among a stunning career of well-crafted games. Often cited as one of the strongest storytellers within gaming, it's a good sign that Jedi: Fallen Order will deliver when it comes to its Star Wars story.

From a technical standpoint, Jedi: Fallen Order will not be using EA's in-house Frostbite engine. This engine has been used effectively by DICE for the Star Wars: Battlefront games, but has caused trouble elsewhere in ambitious titles such as Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. Instead, Jedi: Fallen Order is built in Unreal Engine 4, which may allay fears of the kinds of technical glitches seen in other recent EA games.

Finally, Jedi: Fallen Order is now available for pre-order, complete with the aforementioned deluxe edition that comes with cosmetic options for both the lightsaber and BD-1, as well as some behind-the-scenes footage of the game being made. That said, some may wait until more details are available; even if it's looking good so far, the complete lack of gameplay footage means this is still something of a gamble to immediately put on pre-order. May 4 may be a fitting date for another reveal for the game, but a much better bet will be that more details, including gameplay, will be shared as part of the EA Play event during E3 2019. Then, fans will be able to see exactly how Jedi: Fallen Order is shaping up.
