The franchise centers on Cal Kestis' story as he tries to outrun the Empire. The game focuses on a significant single-story adventure of Kestis, with many falling in love with his character and asking for a continuation of his quest to rebuild the Jedi Order.
This was fulfilled when EA and Respawn initially announced that it was working on a sequel in 2022 and promised that the game will arrive come 2023 for the world to enjoy.
