We know more about the gameplay improvements of Star Wars Jedi: SurvivorFollowing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The hero will be able to fight with five different postures.
If we know the release date of Star Wars Jedi: Survivorexpected for March 17, 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PC, Electronic Arts has not given too many details on the improvements to expect from this game. As a reminder, this is the sequel to the excellent Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderdiscovered in 2019. In an attempt to find out more, GameInformer spoke with game director Stig Asmussen.
In the comments relayed on December 20, the person concerned confirms that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will offer no less than five full stances in combat. This is a real evolution for the gameplay, linked to a story that takes place many years later. In short, the hero Cal Kestis, a Jedi on the run who has become the number one enemy of the Empire, has learned a lot in the meantime, which allows him to better master the Force and his sword.
Five combat stances in the sequel to Fallen Order
These five combat postures, already mentioned in the past, will not only be there to look pretty. ” Everything will depend on the enemy you are facing. There is an advantage to using one type of stance against one type of enemy, and it’s up to the player to figure that out. You have to understand the enemy and find what is the best option to defeat him says Stig Asmussen.
Three of the five postures are detailed. The first is designed for combat with two swords. It is notably based on speed, with Cal Kestis capable of linking movements with agility.
The second, on the other hand, risks offending some fans. In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor can defend themselves by combining a lightsaber with a blaster. Stig Asmussen justifies this option with ease: “ Cal is an atypical Jedi, so he has to do atypical things. It is true that Cal Kestis has not really received the full teaching of the Jedi. Hence this obligation to improvise, sometimes.
The Respawn Entertainment studio was also inspired by the latest films, with a posture inspired by Kylo Ren – whose saber looks more like a sword (we can see a similar weapon in the latest trailer released by Electronic Arts). ” It’s a more confident approach. It’s heavy and sturdy. But you have to be careful when using it, because the timing windows are longer with the sword reveals Stig Asmussen. We just hope that switching from one posture to another will be fluid and pleasant in the heat of the moment.
