Cameron Monaghan, the actor behind Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor, has shared the upcoming sequel will have a “deeper and darker story” that'll be available to non-Star Wars fans.
Speaking to Game Informer in the below video, Monaghan revealed that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor‘s story will examine “what goes on whenever you put strain on a family and your relationships,” and can introduce “a bunch of new characters” to the series.
“There exists a interesting story with Cal where he’s confronted with challenges that are difficult and [there’s] certainly not any right answers,” shared Monaghan. “It’s something which I usually wanted to understand more about using the character. What are the [challenges] that are really likely to push him enough where he may break? How do we get him to that time, and just what will we do after that? What's the story that'll be most exciting?”
Monaghan also asserted Survivor‘s story is going to be “deeper and darker” than Fallen Order‘s plot, and shared that it will be also “more intricate and complex” compared to original game. The actor also said that hopes anyone without any prior experience with the Star Wars franchise will be able to enjoy Survivor as a standalone tale.
“I want anyone who’s never watched a Star Wars movie, read a Star Wars story, anything like that, to jump into this and play it, but still be able to understand it,” said the actor, who added that fans of Stars Wars will still enjoy a “deeper appreciation [for] what’s happening.”
Last month, a March release date for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was confirmed along with a dramatic reveal trailer for the game.
