Star Wars Fallen Order: dark times ahead for the Jedi in new video game – but makers staying tight-lipped on details
- Fallen Order was the talk of Star Wars Celebration in America, although makers of the video game are keeping details under wraps
- Single-player action game follows a Padawan – a trainee Jedi – on the run
A new Star Wars video game is about to test how strong in the Force you really are in some of the darkest times the galaxy far, far away has ever seen.
After a couple of multiplayer Battlefront outings, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (to be released on November 15 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC) shifts to a story-driven, single-player focus.
Announced at this month’s Star Wars Celebration convention in America, Fallen Order introduces a new lightsabre-swinging hero into galactic lore during pretty much the worst period to be using the Force in public.
Set after the cinematic events of Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and following the Emperor’s sinister Order 66 to wipe out all the Jedi, a young Padawan named Cal Kestis (played by Gotham star Cameron Monaghan) hides in plain sight from the Empire while working on the planet Bracca.
When he uses his Force powers, Cal ends up on the radar of the sinister Inquisitors, including the formidable Second Sister and the deadly Purge Troopers, who are specially trained to take on Jedi.
