Description
Respawn Entertainment's upcoming game, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, is generating a lot of excitement among fans ahead of its late April release. However, eagle-eyed fans have spotted a major twist that Respawn needs to handle with care. According to the game's official trailer, the ninth sister, a brutal inquisitor and corrupt Jedi hunter in the service of Darth Vader, could return in the sequel. The character, who was last seen in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, only appears for a split second during a frame in which Cal fends off an Imperial patrol ship, but his hulking figure and glowing red lightsaber they are unmistakable. The return of the Ninth Sister raises several questions about how Respawn will reintroduce her into the story. Players last saw her when she was defeated by Cal Kestis on the planet Kashyyyk and severely injured. With the five-year gap between the two games, it's still unclear how the Inquisitorius will catch up with Kestis this time around, and what role the Ninth Sister will play.
Despite the potential dangers of reintroducing a major character from a previous game, Respawn's deep narrative story means fans are looking forward to how the developer will handle this twist. One possibility is that the Ninth Sister returns as a more fearsome and unrepentant antagonist who now has a personal vendetta against the Jedi. Kestis' previous encounter with the character was a pivotal moment that demonstrated her growth as a Jedi, so the return of the Ninth Sister could serve as a test of her skills and determination.
It is also possible that the Ninth Sister has undergone cybernetic enhancements to compensate for her injuries, or that she has adapted to become a more formidable adversary. Respawn will need to explain how the character has changed or adapted since his last appearance, and how he plans to take revenge on Kestis and the Mantis Crew.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor promises to deliver deeper gameplay systems and smoother combat, as well as an intriguing story shrouded in mystery before its release. With the possible return of the Ninth Sister, fans are eagerly awaiting how Respawn will handle this major twist and take the sequel to new heights. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will launch on April 28 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
