Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been delayed by 6 weeks, and can now release on 28 April 2023. The news was confirmed by game director Stig Asmussen and also the Respawn development team in a social networking post confirming the sport must hit a greater quality bar, and achieve the amount of polish needed to meet fan expectations.

‘For the last 3 years, the Jedi team here at Respawn has poured its collective life blood into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and we are proud to state the next chapter in the tale of Cal Kestis is content complete,’ Asmussen said. ‘We are now focused entirely on the ultimate stage: bug fixes to enhance performance, stability, polish, and most importantly, the gamer experience.’
‘Jedi: Survivor is a direct reaction to the feedback from our community, delivering expansive destinations to explore, evolved combat and traversal, not to mention, the continuation of Cal and BD's story. Making this game has truly made us a better team, and we have pushed ourselves at every level to make this the Star Wars sequel our fans expect from Respawn and Lucasfilm Games.’
‘To ensure that they to hit the Respawn quality bar, supply the team the time they need, and achieve the level of polish our fans deserve, we've added six crucial weeks to the release schedule – Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will launch globally on April 28th.’
While some may be disappointed through the pushback, it’s become a common occurrence during the last couple of years – thanks to pandemic-era bottlenecks, as well as the growing size and complexity of ‘next gen’ games for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The shorter wait between your game’s announcement and release date seemed promising, however, it appears even Jedi can’t escape the requirement for a small delay.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now set to produce for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on 28 April 2023.
