Star Wars Jedi: Survivor trailer shows off Cal’s new lightsaber tricks

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is launching on March 17, 2023, for Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC. The action-adventure game received an impressive trailer during The Game Awards that showed off several new features and teased some potential open-world aspects. Survivor takes place five years after 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, continuing the adventures of Cal Kestis and his droid pal BD-1.

Cal is no longer a young Padawan and is now a full-blown Jedi. The much larger scope of the game seems to reflect that change. Combat is notably evolved in the trailer, as Cal can now freely use a dual-lightsaber stance in battle.

Later, we see him enter “cross guard” stance as he takes down droids with heavy, two-handed slashes. EA tells Digital Trends that the goal of the sequel is to give players more agency when it comes to their playstyle. Traversal plays a large role in the clip too.

In addition to swinging around via grappling points, Cal is seen mounted on animals. He’s shown riding the back of a four-legged creature and using a winged one like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s glider. The clip seems to imply that the game’s planets might be more open-ended than Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s, as one shot shows Cal peering out over a gigantic vista.

EA notes that the sequel is still largely a Metroidvania-inspired title where Cal gets new abilities over time. Cal has a new human companion this time named Bode Akuna. In one clip, we see Bode flipping over Cal’s back to attack an enemy with a combo move.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was built with current-generation consoles in mind, with ray tracing being a major focus.

It appears to be a graphically impressive showcase that features more dynamic lighting and flashy lightsaber effects.

The adventure won’t launch on PS4 or Xbox One, but it’ll be available for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on March 17, 2023.
