Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends, will reveal its new Star Wars video game at the Star Wars Celebration event in Chicago on April 13. The game was teased at the EA press conference at E3 last year, but only the title was revealed. An announcement post on StarWars.com from Lucasfilm says we can expect more from a panel at the Star Wars convention on that date:

In a special panel on Saturday, April 13, EA and Respawn will pull back the curtain on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, in which gamers will meet a Padawan who survived Order 66 and explore the galaxy in the time after the fall of the Jedi Order. The discussion will feature never-before-released details ahead of the game's fall 2019 release.

Lucasfilm also promises new developments for the massively multiplayer online PC game Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Respawn Entertainment's key people were responsible for many of the most influential first-person shooters over the past several years, from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and even the critically acclaimed but not widely played Titanfall 2. The studio went through a public and ugly breakup with publisher Activision before stepping out on its own to develop Titanfall.
