Survivor

A Star Wars Jedi: Survivor developer has confirmed that the game has a rare enemy encounter that players initially thought was a glitch. A Jedi: Survivor gameplay posted to the game’s Reddit page — via GamesRadar — went viral recently due to a terrifying encounter the player stumbled across. The clip shows DarthGoomba93 on the planet Koboh in the middle of a fight between a Purge Trooper and multiple other enemies when a Rancor suddenly appears and instantly kills them. At first, it looks as if the encounter is a bug…

This is technically patch number four Jedi Survivor is still trucking along, and now we’re already on patch 4 in just a few scant weeks. Modern game development, ho! This latest patch is due out today on consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X), and “as soon as possible” on PC. So what does it deal with? Bugs, mainly! This isn’t a content patch, as it’s meant to smooth over some of the rougher edges on all platforms. Several PC-centric issues are addressed, but it’s a far cry from “the big one” that fixes hardware-specific…

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor — out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X — has the immense task of following what many consider to be one of the greatest Star Wars games in recent memory. 2019's Jedi: Fallen Order restored hope to the galaxy-spanning franchise with a daring story and robust souls-like combat system, rebelling against EA's belief that single-player games were dead. It was a strong blend of FromSoftware's risk-reward mechanics and the power fantasy of being a lightsaber-wielding Jedi, albeit with limitations in…

Screenshot: James Whitbrook, EA/RespawnSteam tells me I have been playing Respawn’s new Star Wars game, Fallen Order sequel Jedi Survivor, for nearly 20 hours now. I have barely gotten into it in that time—and not because Survivor is a vastly bigger game than its predecessor, though it is indeed that. It’s because I cannot stop dressing up, and taking pictures of, its hero, Cal Kestis.Survivor is expansive in ways that make Fallen Order feel almost quaintly small in comparison, but one of the most fun ways it goes beyond…

Sequence-breaking video games is a long and veritable tradition that dates back to the early days of the hobby, but Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has an unusual way of dealing with it. As shown by several players on social media, if you manage to skip significant portions of the game, an error message will pop up and ask you to reload a save. As shown in this post, the prompt cites an "unexpected error" and reads as follows: "You seem to have bypassed certain story elements. Continuing to play from this point…

Games continue to get more expensive as time goes on, but it makes sense why. They’re more and more expensive to make. But instead of shelling out $60 for $70 for a brand new title like Jedi: Survivor, you can take advantage of an amazing discount. While there are some fantastic game deals going on, at any given time, this one deserves a special callout. Antonline is offering the Xbox Series S 512GB model, with a free copy of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in a digital download, for $290. Normally $370 altogether, you’re…

This week, Senior Editor Jessica Conditt joins to discuss what went wrong with Redfall, Microsoft’s latest Xbox exclusive that launched to middling reviews. Jess says it’s good enough for Game Pass, but that’s pretty disappointing for a game from Arkane, the studio behind Dishonored and Prey. Also, they chat about Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and its horrendous PC port, and weigh in on how AI and streaming affects the WGA strike. Stay tuned at the end for an interview with Nida Manzoor, the director of Polite Society, who…

I’ve played Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Coruscant heist opening multiple times at this point, and every time I play it, I can’t help but think about what could’ve been with Star Wars 1313, the franchise’s most infamous canceled game.  The idea of an Uncharted-like game about Boba Fett fighting throughout the Coruscant underworld is such an excellent pitch that I’ve grieved the loss of a game I never even had a chance to play for over a decade. Playing through Survivor’s opening doesn’t elicit feelings of…
