Both Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy will be sold in a box by Limited Run Games, both on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
One of the classics of the galactic saga returned to current-generation consoles recently. The late Lucas Arts developed Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy in the early 2000s, two video games that have gone down in history as two of the best titles in the series. Now, Limited Run Games has announced several editions in physical format for PS4 and Nintendo Switch, which can be reserved from April 24 and for the following four weeks.
According to the information, they can be purchased in a standard edition, which includes the games in their box. You can also buy a pack with both titles together. On the other hand, two limited editions have been revealed that incorporate different extras: pins, art book, a Lucasfilm USB, metal box, board game style box, a commemorative coin, a poster, certificate of authenticity, etc.

Kyle Katarn, a Jedi erased from the canon
The story of Kyle Katarn is not part of the official canon, as it has been overlapped, in part, by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which narrates the obtaining of the plans of the Death Star by the rebels. The events after the Return of the Jedi are told in the new films, so they contradict the events of the Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. In Jedi Knight, we take control of this ancient Jedi, who reconnects with the force and confronts the imperial forces.
The Jedi Knight saga offers a first-person shooter combat system, but opens up to the third person, especially in lightsaber battles. It also includes platform elements and the use of the powers of force, which are improved as the adventure progresses.
