While the original Mass Effect trilogy hasn‘t been ported to the 8th generation of consoles, the PlayStation 4 can enjoy the latest iteration in the series Mass Effect: Andromeda. In fact, BioWare‘s Mass Effect franchise arguably has to be one of the most, if not the most definitive space opera video games series as of yet. While this next space opera video game doesn‘t share the same developer, it is once again brought through EA and it‘s a collaboration with RPG masters BioWare. Since the original Titanfall is an online-only experience as well as Apex Legends, those who are looking to experience a space opera single-player campaign on the PS4 should start with Titanfall 2.īoth previously mentioned space opera games have been developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. The main weapons deployed in this conflict are mech suits called Titans that can be summed by their pilots into battle. The familiarities to Star Wars can‘t be missed, but this makes the setting even more engaging. The story Titanfall centers around two space-faring human factions engaged in interstellar conflict: the rebellious Frontier Militia and the oppressive Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (or IMC for short). Not all space opera settings must feature aliens. On top of that, Respawn Entertainment also created an extremely successful FPS battle royale game Apex Legends which is also technically a space opera, at least as far as the setting goes, since it takes place in the same fictional universe as Titanfall games.

Before the mentioned action-adventure Star Wars title the studio already established its reputation with fast-paced first-person shooter game series Titanfall. It may surprise some but Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is not the only space opera game created by Respawn Entertainment. Different planets are of semi-open world deign, featuring secrets, puzzles, platforming sections and satisfying lightsaber combat mechanics inspired by the infamous Dark Souls series by FromSofrware. The game offers amazing freedom of exploration around the galaxy with a private starship called Mantis. The story follows a young protagonist Cal Kestis, a Jedi padawan who‘s one of the few members of the Jedi Order that survived Order 66. III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Ep. The newest Star Wars game on the PS4 – Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – successfully captures the same feeling once again.ĭeveloped by Respawn Entertainment and published by EA, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is set between the films’ Star Wars Ep. However, nothing shook the imagination of audiences like the revolutionary special effects and an epic story about hero hood like the original Star Wars trilogy conceived by George Lucas.
