Respawn's 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order' arrives November 15th - Engadget

Respawn has pulled back the curtains on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order after months of teases. The single-player game is now due to launch on November 15th and follows Cal Kestis, a Padawan trying to survive Emperor Palpatine's command to execute the Jedi -- including the Inquisitors hunting the last remnants of the once-great order. He starts as a scrapper trying to keep his head down, but he's invariably roped into a larger story and learns to embrace his Force powers instead of keeping them suppressed.

The company hasn't shown off gameplay just yet. However, it's teasing an "innovative" combat system with melee combos and, of course, lightsabers and Force powers. You'll also need to rely on some acrobatics to counter enemies and solve the puzzles in your way. There will be a mix of new and "iconic" places, equipment and foes, including Purge Troopers that help the Inquisitors investigate the Jedi.

It should be available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Respawn is eager to avoid the pitfalls that have clouded EA's earlier Star Wars titles. This is strictly a single-player game, and there are no microtransactions. You won't be goaded into buying new skins for Cal or your droid (BD-1, if you're curious). It's a bit of a departure for Respawn given its reputation for multiplayer-first games like the microtransaction-laden Apex Legends, but then Titanfall 2 is widely considered a cult hit for its storyline. That strong pedigree bodes well.

Selena Gomez returns to the stage and joins Cardi B at Coachella in surprise performance - Fox News

Selena Gomez made a surprise appearance Friday during DJ Snake’s set at Coachella, joining Cardi B and Ozuna for their hit “Taki Taki.”

The performance marks Gomez’s first appearance on stage since she sought mental health treatment last year following a few hospital stays. The singer, who has lupus, revealed last year that she’d undergone a kidney transplant as a result of her diagnosis. The appearance is also her first as a performer at the desert festival.

Cardi B posted a photo of the pair along with DJ Snake on her Instagram story, captioning it, “Coachella and I love them.”

Gomez will appear later this year in Jim Jarmusch’s “The Dead Don’t Die,” which will open Cannes in May, and is slated to voice a role in Universal’s “The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle” alongside Robert Downey Jr.

The singer announced her kidney transplant last year in an Instagram post.

“I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of,” Gomez wrote alongside a photo of herself holding hands with actress Francia Raisa, her friend who donated the kidney. “So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health.”

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order launches November 15, debut trailer - Gematsu

Story-based third-person action adventure game.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, a new third-person action adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment, will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15, publisher Electronic Arts announced.

Pre-orders are available now in $59.99 standard and $69.99 Deluxe editions. The Deluxe edition includes a “Director’s Cut” suite of behind-the-scenes features and content, as well as unique cosmetic equipment. Pre-orders for either edition include additional unique cosmetic equipment for the player’s lightsaber and droid companion.

Here is an overview of game, via Electronic Arts:

■ About
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will feature an authentic story set shortly after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, when the Jedi have fallen. Fans will play as a young Padawan named Cal Kestis, brought to life by Cameron Monaghan (Shameless, Gotham), who has survived Order 66, the Emperor’s secret decree to eliminate all Jedi. Players must pick up the pieces of Cal’s shattered past to complete his training and master the art of the iconic lightsaber—all while staying one step ahead of the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors.
Players will meet Cal on Bracca, a brand-new Star Wars planet and one of several new locations introduced in the game. Cal is hiding from the Empire in plain sight but is forced to go on the run when he exposes his Force powers. Along the way, Cal will make new friends, like his mysterious companion Cere, as well as run into some familiar faces, all while being accompanied by his faithful droid BD-1. Cal’s flight from the Empire is made even more dangerous as he is being pursued by the Second Sister, one of the Empire’s elite Inquisitors, who seeks to hunt Cal down and extinguish this surviving Jedi. Assisting the Second Sister are the terrifying Purge Troopers, special Imperial forces trained to seek out Jedi and aid the Inquisitors in their dastardly work.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is designed with gameplay as a top priority in order to deliver the kind of intense Star Wars lightsaber battles that are seen in the films. Brought to life by Respawn, a studio known for high-quality games that are both visually beautiful and technically masterful, players will use their Jedi training to create different melee combinations with an innovative lightsaber combat system and Force abilities. Players will also use traversal and other platforming abilities to strategically overcome opponents and solve puzzles in their path across this galaxy-spanning adventure. Star Wars fans will recognize iconic locations, weapons, gear, and enemies, while also meeting a roster of fresh characters, locations, creatures, droids and adversaries new to Star Wars.
■ Staff Comments
Stig Asmussen – Game Director, Respawn Entertainment
“Many Star Wars fans, ourselves included, are really interested in the dark times, so we wanted to explore that mysterious, dangerous period. The team at Lucasfilm have been amazing collaborators, helping us explore and further develop this part of the timeline where the Empire is at the height of its power and any remaining Jedi are in hiding. Within this narrative, we’ve crafted a game with intense, yet thoughtful and fun melee combat using the lightsaber and Force powers, allowing anyone to fulfill their Jedi fantasy.”
Steve Blank – Director of Franchise Content and Strategy, Lucasfilm
“When Respawn approached us with the idea for this game, we were immediately supportive. A single player, story-driven title in the Star Wars universe was exactly what we were looking for, and we know the fans have been eager for one, as well. Focusing on Cal stepping back into the shoes of a Jedi post Order 66 opens up a lot of gameplay opportunities and rich story threads to develop for this new character and his backstory.”

Taylor Swift Has Been Hinting At Her Next Music Drop With A Series Of Complicated Clues - BuzzFeed News

Just after midnight on Saturday Taylor Swift posted a countdown clock on her website and Instagram stories suggesting ... something is coming on April 26.

Swift changed her profile photos on her social media to an image of pastel pink clouds — a color palette similar to the outfit she wore to her most recent public appearance at the IHeartRadio Music Awards last month as well as other images she's recently posted to Instagram.

True to her style, Swift posted the countdown clock on April 13, exactly 13 days before the final day — it's common knowledge that 13 is Swift's lucky number.

Now, some eagle-eyed Swifties noticed that back in October 2018 Swift posted a photo of herself playing Scrabble with her mother alongside the caption "Let the games BEGIN."

National Scrabble Day is April 13 — today.

The cryptic social media messages are also in line with how she's announced new music in the past. Before announcing her 2017 album Reputation, the singer wiped her social media accounts clean and began posting images and videos of snakes.

Additionally, in a recent article in Elle magazine in which Swift wrote about the 30 things she learned before turning 30 years old, she said that she makes countdowns for things she's excited about.

"When I've gone through dark, low times, I've always found a tiny bit of relief and hope in getting a countdown app (they're free) and adding things I'm looking forward to," she said.

Note that since Taylor Swift is possibly the most detail-oriented person in the world, the comment about countdowns was the 26th thing on the Elle list. Again, whatever's happening later this month, it's on the TWENTY SIXTH of April.

The countdown clock was also broadcast in New York City's Times Square — as well as other places around the world including London and in Melbourne — above the url aprilTwentySix.com — which reroutes back to her official website. (If you look closely, the letters T and S are capitalized in the countdown URL. "T" + "S" ... "TS" ... "Taylor Swift" ... get it?)

Whatever may be happening on 4/26, Swifties are pumped:
