The to the is set to be on the highly anticipated date of March 17th for the popular PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Developed by the highly talented team at the game has remained mostly shrouded in secrecy until recently, when a gameplay trailer was released, revealing some exciting new features for fans to look forward to.
One of the most additions to the game is the inclusion of several different fighting stances for protagonist Cal Kestis. According to game director Stig Asmussen, there will be a total of 5 fully realized stances in the game, each with its own particular benefits and disadvantages. One of these stances will allow Cal to wield a blaster and lightsaber at the same time, adding a new ranged dynamic to his combat style. Another new stance will see Cal flipping and spinning his dual blades at high speed, while a third will allow him to wield a crossguard-style lightsaber similar to Kylo Ren’s. Asmussen stated that the choice of stance will depend on the enemy being faced, and it will be up to the player to figure out which stance is suitable to the circumstance.
Moreover, to the returning, nostalgicically loved characters BD-1 and Cere Junda, gamers can also look forward to meeting a new character called Bode Akuna. Bode will serve as a helpful, artificial intelligence character, aiding Cal in both combat and traversal. Speaking of traversal, the game, Jedi Survivor will also introduce multiple, diverse new mechanics enabling for greater flexibility in exploration. This includes utilizing an ascension cable for climbing and crossing distances, as well as the ability to tame and ride mounts. According to Asmussen, the exploration aspect of the game will have a «Metroidvania feel», permitting Cal, the player character to chain together various skills in order to traverse the environment.
Gamers can also expect to visit a new planet in the epic, interstellar universe, as well as numerous other diverse worlds, and face off against a never-before-seen gang of enemies. The intense, heart-pounding action and visuals, which reportedly include various, impressive ray-tracing, are rumored to be top-notch. Overall, it looks like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set to be a deserving, highly praised successor to the first game and a thrilling addition to the iconic, sci-fi franchise.
