Jedi Fallen Order Release Date Confirmed During Star Wars Celebration Panel

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order finally has platforms and a release date: it is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15, 2019, developer Respawn Entertainment has announced. The date was revealed during the game's panel at this year's Star Wars Celebration event, where it was also confirmed that the PC version would be exclusively available through publisher EA's Origin service. We also got a look at a trailer, although there was unfortunately no gameplay (and few details to be had in general).

We now know that players will take control of a young Padawan that escaped Order 66, the Emperor's decree to wipe out all Jedi--even the younglings in training. You can read more about Jedi Fallen Order's story here. A day before the panel, Respawn confirmed Jedi Fallen Order has no microtranactions and is single-player only.
