Jedi: Fallen Order fans, listen up. Star Wars just announced two new tie-in books for hit action-adventure video game and its upcoming successor, Jedi: Survivor.

The first book is Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, which will tell an original story set between Fallen Order and Survivor following Cal Kestis and the crew of the Mantis.

Jedi: Battle Scars is written by Sam Maggs and is set to arrive on March 7, 2023.

The next book is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Jedi: Survivor, which was officially announced at this year’s Star Wars Celebration.

The Art of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor showcases concept art from the game as well as commentary from creators and producers telling the story of the game’s development.

That book is expected to arrive on May 2, 2023.

While Jedi: Survivor does not yet have a release date, the artbook for Jedi: Fallen Order came out a week after the game was released. So, fans are hoping that trend continues with the release of the game possibly in late April 2023.

Jedi: Fallen Order is a single-player action-adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment and was released in November 2019. Set about five years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, the game follows Order 66 survivor Cal Kestis as he navigates a dangerous life in the galaxy as a former Jedi Padawan.

While fans have loved all the new original characters in the game, there are also appearances by legacy characters like Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, clone troopers, and Saw Gerrera.

The main Inquisitors hunting Cal and other Jedi in the game are Ninth Sister and Second Sister, a former Padawan named Trilla Suduri.
