Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Screens, First Plot Details Revealed, Due in 2023 for Next-Gen Only

Respawn and EA have announced Star Wars Jedi: Survivor! Check out the teaser alongside the first screens, and plot details for the game.

[ClayRules2012]

“Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is being developed by a veteran team at Respawn, and is being headed by Stig Asmussen (God of War 3). From the press release, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is being built for current-gen of gaming hardware (read: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC), and is due to be released sometime in 2023“

So glad to hear it’s NEXT GEN ONLY.

So excited for this game. And I like that Stig is heading it!

[CrimsonWing69]

Amen to that!

[excaliburps]

Hopefully they are making it next-gen only since they are doing crazy stuff visually and with the added horsepower. I mean, that makes sense, right? No way they'd alienate millions of last-gen players/buyers.

@excaliburps

Why else does any game only come out for a next-gen console?

The whole “alienating” millions of last-gen players/buyers never was a problem for 8 freaking generations. Why in the world in 9th gen is this all, “what about the millions of players from last-gen?”

The world is really weird that we now can’t move onto a whole other generation because of people in last-gen…

Here’s what all those millions of people can do, move onto next-gen.

Stig is a legend, GoW3 is still the only game I’ve Plat’d. I even beat it on Chaos, even though there isn’t a trophy

[ClayRules2012]

He is indeed. Wow, really? That’s interesting, yet, also amazing that you got the platinum on the game. I could NEVER beat the game on Chaos (I wouldn’t attempt it either, I’d probably break the controller and tv haha) but props to you for doing that!

What’s your opinion on God of War (2018?) I’d really like to know.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

Chaos isn’t that hard once you appreciate how OP the dodge stick is.

And 2018 was awesome. A huge departure, but I think they needed to. Even Mario has gone through serious shake ups in mechanics in order to avoid becoming stale. I haven’t beaten the hardest difficulty yet, but I’m working on it.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

*2018 is a much deeper and difficult game.

[ClayRules2012]

I’m glad to hear you thought 2018 was awesome and it was worth your time!

Yeah, good point about Mario and the changes done there in the mechanics.

I’ve told some of my friends God of War was needing a change in that department (because it had gotten stale/repetitive for me and others) and while I know they loved the old mechanics, change isn’t always a bad thing and it paid off in the end.

Best of luck on the hardest difficulty in 2018’s game. I tried, too much of a pain for me lol.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

I try to look at the hardest difficulty as not something to beat, but something to chip at forever.

I only attempt it for games that I truly can replay forever, because you are bound to hit a difficulty wall and end up repeating a check point for 3+ hours. But, almost always, you’ll realize that you neglected to adapt to a game mechanic of some sort. Like, maybe you don’t dodge or parry enough, and the enemy you’re stuck on is actually designed to push you to be a better dodger or parrier…..

Once you realize how you’re swimming against the current of the mechanics’ design, then you finally allow the game to teach you to be even better…. And it’ll feel very rewarding to realize that you somehow managed to become even better at the game.

[moriarty1889]

Loved the previous game and cant wait for this gem!

[Nitrowolf2]

Glad it got a next-gen upgrade to, gonna replay it soon

[VerminSC]

Finally some Current Gen only games! I got my PS5 in 2020 and I’ve had like 3 current gen games…

[Joejohn]

"I got my ps5 in 2020 and I've had like 3 current gen games" - now imagine if you were an xbox series owner only...

[SonyStyled]

Don’t grind that grain more finer than it is. Be happy with your gaming console and not imagine if you have another. Xbox is having a hard time producing games for the duration of a year. If you don’t play on Xbox, let it go. It’s not your problem.

[Joejohn]

SonyStyled

Thanks for the lecture, but I own both consoles. I have every right to voice frustration, and comment when I feel standards aren't being applied equally.

[lucian229]

First game was so boring, hopefully that changes.

[Nacho_Z]

You're probably ok to skip the new game if that's your opinion of the original.

I thought it was great and I expect more of the same.

[lucian229]

Yeah though never know it could be better. My main issue was the shallow combat. If they Amp it up it could be a lot of fun. Sometimes a game has a good base and a sequel expands in just the right ways.

[Ataraxias]

Itemization or rather the lack of it was also quite boring. Poncho palette swaps are not a good reward for exploration.

[ChubbyBlade]

You’re on your own with that one there bud

[Joejohn]

No it wasnt, sounds like a you problem. Shallow combat? Lol, no.

[CrimsonWing69]

Did we play the same game? The intro got me immediately and it didn’t let up from there. The train sequence was pretty fantastic and there were tons of exciting set pieces. How far did you get?

[lucian229]

I got like 10+ hours in? Played on hard mode too. Just wasn't fun. Train sequence wasn't fun either

[Aussiesummer]

And the screens are just from the rendered trailer. Ffs.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Odd that it's not going to use fast loading times with Direct Storage on the PC. I feel that DS could have been done to some degree a few years before next gen consoles. It could have been done with SSDs and also NVME SSDs. Instead the PC had to wait for next gen consoles. 🤣 So damn backwards.

[BABI-PANGPANG]

I might be in the wrong here but don't they mean current gen? I see this term being used all the time and it's confusing to me.

[CrimsonWing69]

I think the problem is this “current-gen” is still sharing a generation with “last-gen” so when you say “current-gen” many think the generation where the new God of War game is coming out on (for example). This is a result from how 9th gen is basically you bought a new powerful “next-gen” console to play mostly “last-gen” games on.

You’re right though, it’s technically “current-gen”, but boy does it feel weird saying that when we’re basically playing mostly “last-gen” games 2 years in.

[BABI-PANGPANG]

I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

[EvertonFC]

Still not finished the 1st one, I couldn't get on with the 3D map 😔
