Star Wars Jedi’s FromSoftware Inspirations Can Still Go One Step Further

Respawn Entertainment is now two-for-two with its games set in the Star Wars universe, with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor being both a massive improvement over its predecessor and one of the best action games of 2023. A third game in the Jedi universe starring Cal Kestis is all but guaranteed at this point, especially following voice and motion capture actor Cameron Monaghan’s admission in an interview that a third Jedi game is currently in the works. Both Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor borrow heavily from Soulslikes in their gameplay, but the third game could truly shake things up by leaning fully into the “space samurai” aesthetic of the Jedi and taking inspiration from another FromSoftware title – Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
