Star Wars Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen expressed his interest in making the Star Wars Jedi saga a trilogy in a recent interview. Despite Jedi: Survivor being a month or so away from its April 28 launch date, Asmussen claims that he and his team already considered the idea early on.

Asmussen expressed his hopes to release a trilogy in an interview with IGN. Here’s what he said:

We were already talking about the second game. I mean, frankly, we were talking beyond. And these are conversations that, when we’re breaking this story with Lucasfilm, it’s like: ‘Well, where are we going with the second game?’ I always wanted to see this as a trilogy. How can we take Cal and the crew to new places beyond what we were doing in the first game?

With Asmussen’s statements on hoping to make a trilogy, it’s possible that Jedi: Survivor will feature loose ends that could tie it to a potential third game. He also claimed that if a third Star Wars Jedi game were to be made, it would run in the newer Unreal Engine 5 versus Jedi: Survivor’s Unreal Engine 4 framework.

I’m not going to say it’s going to be easy. I mean, we have a lot of proprietary things that we’ve warped the engine into doing what it does for Jedi right now, and we would have to retool some of that to get it to work on any new engine.

We already know quite a bit about Jedi: Survivor, including its gameplay improvements and the reason why it isn’t on previous-gen consoles. Depending on the success of the game, we may see Cal in yet another adventure across a galaxy far, far away.
