The Star Wars Jedi series is almost definitely going to be a trilogy, with developer Respawn Entertainment already hiring a writer for the next game. This seems to be the implication from a job ad on Linkedin, at least, which calls upon experienced writers to join a Star Wars project, presumably for either a future Jedi game or DLC - or both.
This lines up with what Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's director, Stig Asmussen, has said previously on the matter. Back in March, he stated that he wants Cal Kestis' story to span a trilogy in true Star Wars protagonist fashion. On top of this, applicants for this job opening are told that they will have to write "seamlessly within the Star Wars universe." So, unless this is in relation to the other Star Wars projects Respawn has in the works, it certainly seems that this is our first indication that another Star Wars Jedi game is happening.
The job opening, first spotted by Reddit user Hard2DaC0re in the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, refers to the Star Wars series several times, so Respawn is hardly hiding that it has something in the pipeline. Whether this is a DLC or full-blown sequel remains to be seen - neither has been announced yet - but news of another instalment would hardly be surprising.
Much like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Survivor was a huge hit as soon as it launched. It sits at 85/100 on Metacritic, and its launch sales easily beat its predecessor by 30 percent. It's seen by many as a serious Game of the Year contender, even if it is unlikely to win in a year crowded with the likes of Tears of the Kingdon and Final Fantasy 16.
As for this sequel that Respawn is (probably) already hiring writers for, we don't know a whole lot about it just yet. The job posting doesn't give away too many details either, other than the fact that the project exists. The potential writers will have a range of responsibilities, from writing characters and dialogue, to casting documents and marketing material. In other words, there's a lot to get done, so development on this unannounced sequel is very much in the early stages. Hardly surprising, given that Star Wars Jedi only launched this March.
It's worth keeping in mind that Respawn is also working on a Star Wars FPS and strategy game. However, the responsibilities listed here seem to point more towards it being a Jedi game, with the writer having a considerable amount of tasks to complete.
There was a gap of around three years and four months between Fallen Order and Survivor, and it remains to be seen if we'll have to wait a similar period of time for the next game. However, things could be sped along by the fact that, presumably, it will be another PS5/Xbox Series X game, saving the devs from having to get used to new hardware again. Pandemic-related lockdowns have also come to an end, something Survivor would have likely had to contend with. But of course, we'll have to wait and see when this sequel is even announced to the public - even if we know it almost definitely exists.
