This classic first and third-person shooter first arrived on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Xbox back in September 2003 but now, over 16 years later, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is back on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 for a brand new, battle hungry generation.

Our team wanted players new and old to experience the thrill of victory in online multiplayer, which is why we’ve brought it back with modern controls. In Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, you can play with up to 16 players in six online multiplayer modes. We’re bringing back the classics you loved: Siege, Power Duel, Capture the Flag, Duel, and Free For All (both solo and teams).

One of the biggest challenges we faced when bringing back online multiplayer was how to keep the original spirit of the game modes while updating the controls for modern systems. Luckily, the team here at Aspyr is full of Jedi Academy fans who dedicated themselves to recreating the feeling they got playing in 2003 with the updated controls of 2020.

You can also transform your PlayStation 4 with our two free PS4 Themes inspired by Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. You can sign up exclusively at aspyr.com/starwars to receive a free key that you can redeem on PS4 via email.
