I almost can’t keep up with all of the news happening right now, but the very bestStar Warsgame ever made,Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, is coming to Nintendo Switch with gyro controls in tow. Players will be able to re-experience Kyle Katarn’s journey to stop the evil Dessan and save the galaxy from peril. I may have fudged some of those details, but the game is really excellent.
If that wasn’t good enough, Aspyr has confirmed that the full multiplayer suite will be coming withJedi Knight 2. The online component to the PC original was pretty incredible, with regular deathmatch modes mixed with awesome lightsaber duels. There’s even a whole mode dedicated to simple lightsaber fights, letting you skip all the other crap to get right to the goods.
Jedi Knight 2will be releasing for Switch on Jul 18, 2025.
