April 12, 2019 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is single-player solely.
“No multiplayer, no microtransactions, it’s a story game.” That’s what Respawn chief Vince Zampella needed to see in entrance of a crowd very enthusiastic about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, confirming what we’ve been listening to – and hoping – concerning the game ever because it was announced at E3 final 12 months.
The game shall be formally unveiled at a Star Wars Celebration panel tomorrow afternoon, however Zampella’s feedback come as a part of a broader livestream right now (by way of ResetEra). We additionally acquired comparable sentiment from Fallen Order producer Blair Brown, who tweeted “So happy to be working on a single player story focused game again, no multiplayer and no MTX.”
We first heard rumours about Fallen Order’s story focus in a podcast just a few months after the game’s reveal, and extra lately famous insider Jason Schreier has particularly called it out as a “single-player action-adventure game.” As we await a full reveal and the Fallen Order release date, a brand new interview with Chris Avellone earlier right now tell us that the game’s narrative aspirations are so massive it’s acquired a half-dozen narrative designers.
“Story was very important to Respawn,” Avellone tells VG247. “I think they do a good job of introducing various narrative layers into their games already, but they think story is an important part of what they perceive to be a Star Wars game. That’s one of the reasons I like Respawn, because when they tackle something like that, they understand what the important points are.”
Chris Avellone was confirmed as one of the Fallen Order’s writers final month, however the lead narrative designer is Aaron Contreras, who additionally led story on Mafia 3. The third Mafia was flawed game, to make certain, but it surely was no slouch when it got here to story – particularly within the extra tightly scripted opening and ending segments.
We’ll see rather more on the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order reveal panel tomorrow. Rich is satisfied it’s mainly going to be a new Jedi Knight game, and I actually hope he’s proper.
