Electronic Arts has made the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order official. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available next year. We will find the hero Cal Kestis, a priori stronger than ever.
As teased for several months now, there will be a sequel to the excellent Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, undoubtedly one of the best solo adventures adapted from the famous saga. In a statement sent to the press on May 27, Electronic Arts and Lucasfilm Games formalized Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This video game will be available in 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PC.
Still developed by Respawn Entertainment, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will take place five years after the events of the first opus. We will always follow Cal Kestis, accompanied by his cute little droid – BD-1 (who already has his Lego). The Jedi must always escape the Empire, which hunts him relentlessly. In terms of gameplay, we are promised “ advanced technology to create more dynamic Jedi fights and cinematics “.
We want a more technical Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Openly inspired by the Dark Souls trilogy, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order laid interesting gameplay foundations to offer very exhilarating lightsaber fights. Unfortunately, not everything was perfect. ” It’s even a bad Dark Souls, as soon as you push the difficulty a little too far “, we wrote in our test. The fault with a balancing to be refined: too easy in normal (because character too powerful) and too hard in extreme.
In an interview with the official Star Wars website, Stig Asmussen, director of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, gave a track of improvement for the clashes: introduce more postures, so that Cal Kestis can defeat the enemies in different ways. On this Wiki page dedicated to the practice of the lightsaber, we discover several ways to fight with the preferred weapon of the Jedi. There are seven styles that Respawn Entertainment developers can inspire.
Some postures are more defensive, others more aggressive. One can easily imagine a Cal Kestis mastering his sword enough to switch from one art to another depending on the opponents. This could also mean the possibility of progressing through different skill trees, to eventually specialize. Moreover, in addition to the damage generated, the forms could consume stamina differently, or even push the hero towards the dark side (with a dedicated gauge). There is real room for improvement to make Star Wars Jedi: Survivor a major sequel.
the blockbuster will finally take advantage of the power of the latest consoles marketed – PS5, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X – to go further, especially in terms of lighting (ray tracing) and visual fidelity. ” The PlayStation 5 has some cool things to offer with its controller’s haptic feedback “, also believes Stig Asmussen.
