Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderwas a huge success on multiple fronts. The game finally gave fans a story-basedStar Warsgame after going nearly a decade without one, and it gave EA something to be proud of after its many missteps with theStar Warslicense. Although EA still isn’t completely redeemed,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderhas received dozens of requests for a sequel. Thanks to the work of Respawn Entertainment, aStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2is one of the most highly-anticipatedStar Warsgames in a long time, and fans might just get some long-awaited news in a few short weeks.
Although EA did not appear at E3 this year, it’s holding its independent EA Play show later this month. There’s been a lot of hype around what will be featured during the event, and recently there’s been reason to believe thatStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2will be revealed in some way or another.Game Informer and the EAStar WarsTwitter have been teasing somethingover the past few days, with the latter saying that “Now is a great time to get back toJedi: Fallen Order.” If the sequel is being shown at EA Play, there’s a suite of things that could be shown. Here’s what we hope to see fromStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2at EA Play.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 Cinematic Trailer
The best-case scenario forStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2’s rumored appearance at EA Play would likely be some kind of cinematic trailer. Whether it’s a teaser or something that actually establishesstory direction for theFallen Ordersequel, some display on par with the first game’s cinematic reveal would be an excellent way of hooking players in and getting them excited. Even through its variousStar Warsflops, EA has maintained a decent track record with itsStar Warstrailers, so hopefully, the same care will be shown to the sequel ofJedi: Fallen Order,which has become a flagship for EA.
As far as what information might be gleaned from a cinematic trailer forStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2, there’s really no telling what EA would be ready to show at this point. The last game left off withCal and his crewmostly successful and looking forward to more adventure. It’s possible that a trailer could pick up right where the last game left off, with Cal fighting the Empire and traversing the stars once again. To drum up more hype, however, it might be more compelling to see the game’s main characters in some intense peril, that way fans have something to speculate on until EA is ready to share more information.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 Release Window
While a cinematic trailer would be a great spectacle, many fans may prefer to knowwhen exactly they can expect to get their hands onStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2. If the game does show up at EA Play, it may turn out that both a cinematic trailer and a release window get revealed at the same time. In any case, simply knowing whenStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2is coming out would be a huge relief for fans that have been begging for more. The only possible hangup then would be keepingStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order2’s without delays.
Speculation onStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2has been relatively fresh, so it would be optimistic to assume that the game’s release date would be any time soon. It might even be too hopeful to believe that EA already has a specific date lined up, which makes it likely that a more general window would be revealed, such as fall or winter of next year. Either way, any kind of release window lets players know that the game is happening. Andif EA is carefulwith its expectations, hopefully, the game won’t face any delays.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 Concept Art Or Other Details
IfStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2is revealed at EA Play, there is always a chance that details on the game will be very slim. The first game’s initial reveal left much to be desired, so hopefully, it won’t be as bare-bones as that, but there is a chance that neither EA norRespawnjust aren’t ready for a cinematic trailer or release window. With how highly-anticipated the game has become, it’s likely that EA would at least give fans something, but it would be wise for fans to temper expectations if it turns out to not be what they’re hoping to see.
Assuming that there isn’t a trailer of some sort forStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2, it would be nice if EA was able to show off some kind of concept art or story details so that players can have some basis for what to expect. Fans of the first game have already gotten familiar withCal Kestis' journey as a Jediso far, so some kind of art that shows his progression into the next game could give some hints at where the story is going. Even if there’s just a general blurb about how Cal and company are about to face “their greatest threat yet,” it could help guide the speculation of players that have been patiently waiting for this long.
EA had a lot of success withStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and it’s helped build up a lot of goodwill with fans of the franchise. There’s a lot riding onStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order2now thatother developers will soon be makingStar Warsgames, so the sequel’s reveal will have to make a statement to stand out and live up to expectations. It might be optimistic to think that EA will give fans a full cinematic trailer and a release window, but with the direct teasing that’s been done so far, it’s hard to think that there will be nothing at all.
EA Play Liveis scheduled for July 22, so fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out ifStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderwill be getting a highly-anticipated sequel.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
