A huge new "Star Wars" game is on the verge of being fully revealed: "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" is expected to arrive later this year on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
Even better: The game is being made by Respawn Entertainment, the same studio behind the excellent "Titanfall" series and recent blockbuster "Apex Legends."
So what is it? Here's everything we know so far:

1. "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" is a third-person action game starring a Jedi as the playable character.
Given the naming convention, you probably already guessed it: "Fallen Order" stars a Jedi.
That means, unlike "Star Wars Battlefront 2," this game is no shooter. Instead, it's a third-person action game that focuses on lightsaber-based combat.
2. It takes place between the events of "Episode 3" and "Episode 4."
Spoilers for "Episode 3" ahead! In "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" ("Episode 3"), a very moody Anakin Skywalker — before turning into everyone's favorite cyborg, Darth Vader — sets out to destroy the Jedi Order.
It's part of a bigger jedi purge, known as "Order 66." Few Jedi survive the purge, but apparently the main character in "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" is one of those few.
The game follows "a young Padawan’s journey in the Dark Times following Order 66," according to Disney.
3. It's likely to involve stealth gameplay.
In a tweet this week, the official "Star Wars" gaming account from Electronic Arts published the image above with the text, "Don't stand out."
Given the time period of the game, it's very likely that the main character — a Jedi — is trying to stay out of sight. When the game was announced in June 2018, Respawn Entertainment head Vince Zampella referred to its setting as "dark times."
What that means for gameplay is that stealth is almost certainly involved. After all, even the most adept Jedi couldn't withstand the collective force of the Imperial Clone army.
