Watch The Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order Reveal Here

Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment is developing a new Star Wars game, Jedi Fallen Order, and it’s finally set for its big reveal this week at Star Was Celebration.

The reveal is taking place this Saturday, April 13, during an event that begins at 1:30 PM local time in Chicago where Star Wars Celebration is taking place. That works out to 2:30 PM ET and 11:30 AM PT. Internationally, the stream starts at 7:30 PM GMT and 4:30 AM AEST in Australia on Sunday. Respawn boss Vince Zampella and game director Stig Asmussen will appear on a panel where they’ll talk more about Jedi Fallen Order. Presumably we’re getting a trailer, too.

Here is the official description for the Jedi Fallen Order panel:

“Join the head of Respawn Entertainment, Vince Zampella, and Game Director, Stig Asmussen, along with many special guests, to be the first to learn about this holiday’s highly anticipated action adventure game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Hear how Respawn and Lucasfilm collaborated on this original Star Wars story, following a young Padawan’s journey in the Dark Times following Order 66. And of course, we’ll have a few surprises in store.”

While Jedi Fallen Order is scheduled for release later this year, very little is known about it so far. That’s set to change during Star Wars Celebration, and we’ll have all the news here on GameSpot as it’s announced.

What we do know is that Knights of the Old Republic II writer Chris Avellone worked on the script, while Asmussen, the game director, previously worked on the God of War franchise at Sony before moving to Respawn. In terms of the story and timeline, Jedi Fallen Order tells an original story that takes place “shortly after” the events of Episode II: Revenge of the Sith.

A teaser image for Jedi Fallen Order shows a glowing hilt of a broken lightsaber. We don’t know what it means, but those answers should come in due time.
