BD seems older
We recently got a9-minute lookatStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’slightsaber swinging combat and it confirmed that yes, Cal still really likes stabbing animals in a fashion that’s unbecoming of a Jedi. It also looked beautiful. But what’s actually happening this time around? Well, EA have released a new story trailer for the sequel, catching us up with an older version of the Mantis crew.
For a story trailer, we do see quite a lot of Survivor’s action, with the new dual takedowns looking especially tasty. One quick cut has Cal slice up an enemy stormtrooper before returning companion Merin finishes them off. Other set pieces are also teased, such as one with a crumbling boulder on a sandy planet, and another that has Cal zipping through the air with a grappling hook - a welcome mainstay in most AAA games these days.
All in all, it looks good. The new dual-wielding stance, companions, and blasters will hopefully give the combat more variety. I wasn’t invested in the original’s story much, but I’m sure I’ll be happy to see Glipnis Dutz - and the other loveable aliens I don’t know the names of - when they inevitably show up.
After asix-week delay, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will launch on April 28th. You can pre-purchase the game onSteamorThe Epic Games Store.The first adventure is only£3.50as part of Steam’s Spring Sale.
