Star Wars Jedi Survivor Hype Train
As the world once again becomes enamored with Star Wars thanks to season 3 of The Mandalorian coming out, while some may be excited to see Grogu and the rest. Gamers eyes are also focused on the upcoming Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.
Taking place a good five years after the events chronicled in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor once again reunites players with wayward Jedi Cal Kestis and his trusty droid companion, BD-1. No longer a fresh-faced Padawan, Cal Kestis is now an older and hardened Jedi Knight whose campaign against the increasingly powerful Empire has only grown more desperate. Whisked away to far-off worlds at the edge of the galaxy, Cal Kestis will meet up with allies and enemies both old and new as he attempts to gain a measure of justice for the murder of his Jedi brethren. Envisioned as the second of a three game trilogy that focuses on Cal Kestis, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor arguably cannot be enjoyed nearly as much unless you’ve played through its predecessor, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. For some additional light reading, you might want to seek out Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, a tie-in novel written by Sam Maggs, was released on March 7, 2023 and fills in the five year gap that exists between Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
The game will no doubt play just like the last one with obviously some new abilities and tweaks. It handles like an action adventure game with some metroidvania type back tracking and revisiting. Some of the things that made this game feel so good was utilizing the force abilities as well as the best light saber combat we’ve gotten to experience yet with plenty of options and customization as well. The Star Wars Jedi: Survivor release date has been confirmed as April 28, 2023. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will enjoy a full release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is not currently scheduled to release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch platforms, Stay tuned to GamesReviews.com for more coverage once we are able to get our sweaty little hands on the game.
