The most prominentStar Warsstories are told as trilogies, and Respawn has hinted that theJediseries would have three installments many times in the past. Over the past few months,Respawn has been looking for new workersto help with a project that many think is this thirdJedigame, such as a Senior VFX Artist and Sr. Combat Designer. Cameron Monaghan, who plays Cal Kestis in bothStar Wars Jedi: Fallen OrderandJedi: Survivor, has stated that anotherJedititle is already being planned, though he has remained tight-lipped on any particular details about Cal’s next adventure.
Now Respawn has posted a new job listing for a Principal Gameplay Designer on its official website, as reported by GamesRadar. While this listing makes no mention ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivoror any potential follow-up, it does state that the candidate will “work with design leadership, level design, art, code, and animation departments to create a satisfying and fun gameplay experience,” and “design and iterate on hero navigation mechanics.” It also asks that applicants have seven or more years of experience in the game industry, experience using scripting tools to fine-tune player controls, and practical knowledge of the level design process.
A currently un-confirmedStar Wars Jedi: Survivorsequelseems like the most likely project for this new Principal Gameplay Designer to work on, but it bears mentioning that such a project isn’t the only thing in Respawn’s pipeline. Other job offerings on Respawn’s website mention the upcomingStar WarsFPSthe studio announced in January 2022, which is said to draw inspiration from the belovedStar Wars: Dark Forcesseries of old. Outside ofStar Wars, Respawn is looking for a Lead Level Designer and Game Designer to work onApex Legendsand a Technical Game Design Intern for an unspecified project.
Respawn’s recent listing for a new Principal Gameplay Designer could be for any of these in-development titles, as it doesn’t mention a specific game. Still, it could also be for theStar Wars Jedi: Survivorsequel thatCameron Monaghan says is already in the works. Only time will tell what the future holds for theStar Wars Jedi: Survivorseries, especially after director Stig Asmussen announced his departure from both Respawn and EA back in September.
