Star Wars Jedi: Survivor expands on 2019's surprisingly good Jedi: Fallen Order with an open world setting and more nuanced combat. Read our preview.
Cal Kestis is a problem-solver. The itinerant young Jedi at the center of Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi series bucks the trend of most Jedi in the Imperial Era by not just retreating to some hole in the Outer Rim and wallowing in his own misery. Maybe that’s the difference between youth and old age: Kestis is somewhere in his early 20s in the upcoming sequel, while the most famous Jedi of that time period, Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi, are both nearing the end of their days.
The main bit of story in this demo involved Cal tracking down Greez, the four-armed alien pilot who has retired to run a cantina in a remote corner of the galaxy. That brings Cal to Khobo, where he unexpectedly encounters a bit of remote Jedi history that presumably sets the game’s main plot into motion. This chunk we played comes early in the game, about an hour into it, apparently after a section set on Coruscant, and unfortunately I’m not able to discuss most of its story.
The biggest upgrade on that combat is the addition of three new stances, bringing Cal’s total up to five. The demo didn’t include two of those stances, but the third one we played, wherein Cal wields a lightsaber in each hand, offers a tangible difference from the two original stances.
