The fans of the Star Wars games are already enjoying Star Wars Jedi Survivor and have begun asking when Jedi Survivor takes place in the vast timeline of the Star Wars franchise. In the latest title, Cal Kestis returns as the lone protagonist of this beloved franchise. It is a continuation of the 2019 release, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. The Padawan is no longer a trainee but a full-fledged Jedi ready to take on the Empire and restore the Jedi order. This automatically means the Jedi Survivor takes place in the future, but when exactly?
When is Star Wars Jedi Survivor Set?
Jedi Survivor is the sequel to the Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order from 2019. For those who want to know, it is set five years after the events of its eponymous predecessor. Once the game starts, we see a matured Cal, stronger than ever before, with a ton of abilities he had at the end of the previous title, but he still has many more to learn and master in Jedi Survivor.
To be more precise in terms of years, Star Wars Jedi Survivor takes place in the year of 9BBY. BBY stands for Before the Battle of Yavin as hardcore Star Wars fans will know. However, for those who aren’t familiar, Battle of Yavin relates to the Death Star assault in the classic film, A New Hope. Furthermore, the game takes place around the time of the Obi-Wan TV series. Despite it, this master Jedi doesn’t appear in the story.
The year in which the Star Wars Jedi Survivor takes place is the halfway point between the prequels and the original trilogy of this colossal sci-fi saga. Cal has a lot of work to do before crushing the Empire and restoring the Jedi Order once more. All this time, the Galactic Empire is rising, increasing its strength, ruling every corner of every galaxy. Most importantly, it is on the prowl for any living Jedi, including our hero Cal.
