Cal’s journey kicks off quickly

Over the weekend, Digital Arts premiered what it says is the ultimate gameplay trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor forward of its launch later this month. It sees Cal performing some nice lightsaber swinging and Drive slinging, but additionally the hero returning to Coruscant in spite of everything these years.

Coruscant, as soon as residence to the Jedi temple, has since been transformed into an Imperial stronghold. Cal’s return to this place, the place he noticed the Jedi get worn out first-hand, looks as if it may very well be an emotional second.

We don’t simply see it, both. It seems like we’ll have some work to do on Coruscant, although it’s not fairly as open-ended as some have speculated. EA clarified over the weekend that Coruscant is not a “freely explorable open world,” solely that it’s one of many locations in-game.

With that mentioned, this new footage seems fairly rad. There’s a second on this trailer I like, the place Cal is tussling with a Stormtrooper on hoverbikes. He shoves him off, after which Drive-lifts him up into the air, proper into an oncoming TIE Fighter’s windshield. Implausible. All of this, from the intelligent Drive use to the tiny element of Cal clicking off his lightsaber blade within the wrestle, makes Star Wars Jedi: Survivor look fairly fascinating to me.

I’m a survivor

It seems like we haven’t seen an excessive amount of of Respawn’s follow-up to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, however that’s additionally a fairly good factor. I’m curious to see how outdated mates work again into the story alongside these new faces, in addition to Cal’s new objectives to find a protected residence for the Jedi. Additionally, contemplating what number of Jedi are operating round these days, you’d assume he’d run into a number of others on his travels.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launches on Xbox Collection X|S, PS5, and PC on April 28.
