Overnight, eagle-eyed observers noticed Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Steam page had been updated to include a March 15th 2023 release date, a week after the tie-in novel is due out and a little earlier than I speculated in my previous article over later March/ April. EA scrubbed that page but has since confirmed we’ll see the game at The Game Awards this Friday.
Also included in the Steam were pre-purchase and deluxe pack benefits, which show alternate costumes indicating that Cal is abandoning the ponchos for the Jackets, and BD1 gets a few paint jobs. The store listing also hints that the game will have more force abilities, lightsaber fighting styles, new planets skills and equipment. The Steam page also included the PC system requirements of the game, as seen in the trusty Wario 64s Tweet below.

Of course, EA and Star Wars were quick to scrub the above Steam Page but did confirm that the game will be at the Game Awards this year, with gameplay promised to be shown.
The journey continues…
