With the rapidly increasing success of their surprise hit, Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment surely has its hands full. Still, that doesn't seem to be stopping the studio from diverting some focus to its other project still in the works, the mysterious Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Aside from a brief appearance at E3 2018 revealing its Holidays 2019 release window, not much has come out of Respawn's Star Wars project to draw from, but that will change soon.

Revealed today on StarWars.com, eager fans will finally get their first look at the elusive Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order during an event scheduled for April of this year. Star Wars Celebration Chicago will feature a panel on Saturday, April 13, where EA and Respawn will reveal new information about the forthcoming Star Wars game. This is likely to be the project's most detailed reveal since it was announced on "May the fourth," nearly three years ago.

Other than revealing the panel and date, the announcement did little to tease the event, so fans will simply need to be patient as they continue waiting for more information on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which will apparently take place after the fall of the Jedi Order and introduce players to a Padawan survivor of Order 66. As mentioned previously, very little is currently known about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which means the topic is ripe for theories, rumors, and speculation.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently mentioned Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order during the company's Q3 2019 Earnings Conference Call, where he said it plays "spectacularly well" and promised "a lot more to share soon." If the reveal planned for the Star Wars Celebration Chicago event is what the CEO was referring to, that's even more reason for Star Wars fans to be excited for the April 13 panel. With any luck, the title will get a trailer or some gameplay footage that gives fans a better idea of what to expect from the upcoming game.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order does not yet have a specific release date.
