Developer Respawn has launched a 9 minute clip of the upcoming Stars Wars Jedi: Survivor and, yep, this certain appears to be like like a Star Wars sport with a Jedi, surviving. What it does present is returning protagonist Cal Kestis (and his droid BD-1) making their means round a brand new planet, Koboh, which they’ve apparently crash-landed on.
Koboh is a lush surroundings that’s host to a Separatist hideout, with varied battle droids patrolling round alongside loads of native fauna, and naturally some greater nasties that reveal the sport’s lightsaber fight. Respawn had already talked concerning the fight focus of the sequel, with Cal having 5 “full realised” stances (opens in new tab) to change between whereas preventing
Cal has clearly been in coaching with new combo strikes for his double-bladed lightsaber (that is unlocked close to the top of the primary sport), with the gameplay at varied factors exhibiting him detaching his weapon into two separate blades, Darth Mauling round teams of enemies and, in a single notably cool second clipped under, spinning spherical an enemy and concurrently stabbing them within the again.
Significantly notable components are that the surroundings appears extra interactive this time, with bushes reacting to lightsaber swings and Cal force-tossing issues like rocks round. The primary sport noticed the participant accumulating cosmetics within the type of ponchos, however throughout this sequence we see Cal gather nothing lower than a bomber jacket from a chest: So maybe the jackets are the principle beauty collectable this time round.
Followers have after all pored over the footage for any little element, although amusingly sufficient (as GamesRadar+ notes (opens in new tab)) rather a lot have chosen to grumble about Cal’s new operating animation, which appears superb? I am probably not certain there is a canon for the way Jedi ought to run, however give Disney time I suppose.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was just lately delayed, however solely by just a little: it was due March 17, however will now arrive April 28 (opens in new tab). Director Stig Asmussen says the six-week delay is solely about hitting “the Respawn high quality bar” and offering the extent of polish followers count on. Personally talking, the nicest factor about this footage is it exhibits Cal as he was on the finish of Jedi: Fallen Order, with out his powers having been reset, which means that by the top of this one you actually would be the sort of badass that even an Empire would concern.
