New launch day - April 28 (6 weeks more)

Game Director Stig Asmussen said:

"For the last three years, the Jedi team here at Respawn has poured its collective heart and soul into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and we are proud to say the next chapter in the tale of Cal Kestis is content complete. We are now focused entirely on the final stage: bug fixes to enhance performance, stability, polish, and most importantly, the player experience.

Jedi: Survivor is a direct response to the feedback from our community, delivering expansive destinations to explore, evolved combat and traversal, and of course, the continuation of Cal and BD’s story. Making this game has truly made us a better team, and we have pushed ourselves at every level to make this the Star Wars sequel our fans expect from Respawn and Lucasfilm Games.

In order for the team to hit the Respawn quality bar, provide the team the time they need, and achieve the level of polish our fans deserve, we have added six crucial weeks to our release schedule - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will now launch globally on April 28th.

Thanks to EA and Respawn for giving us the time to deliver the best experience for our players, and to all of you for your understanding."

    Great to hear that they want the best release possible!

    It's only 6 weeks... makes me wonder if this is even about bugs? I mean delays of up to a year are common now and 6 weeks is pretty short.

    @DYSPROssium 6 weeks is a lot in the gaming industry, often the last stage of development is what makes or breaks a game. One of the major complaints about fallen order was the bugs that plagued combat causing hits/blocks to not be registered, which is why Stig Asmussen was talking about considering player feedback. During EA's investor call, they reveal the request for an extension came directly from the respawn team as they did not feel the game would be ready for release on time. Overall I'm more disappointed in the poor release date estimate rather than the delay itself, the better the game is on launch the happier gamers will be.
