First Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Gameplay Shows Dual Sabers, Confirms March 17 Release

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is one of the most-anticipated games of 2023, and the action-adventure was showcased during The Game Awards on December 8. During the presentation, we got our first look at gameplay from the title as well as a confirmed March 17 release date.

The trailer shows an older, more grizzled Cal Kestis as he tries to stay one step ahead of the Empire. A host of new enemies make brief appearances, including one particularly hulking alien in full armor, but nothing more is revealed about them–not even their names. There are some friendly faces as well, including the returning Cere Junda and a new ally named Bode Acuna (played by Noshir Dalal).

We do get to see some of Cal’s heightened Jedi abilities, however, including a new lightsaber stance where he wields two sabers at once for quick, hard-hitting offense. A new mobility option–a grappling hook–was also shown as Cal used his jumping and Force Dash abilities to grapple onto a faraway pole and swing over a deep chasm.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is scheduled to arrive on March 17, 2023 and takes place five years after Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Once again, we’ll play as Cal in his continued journey–now as a full-fledged Jedi to fight back against the Galactic Empire in the years following Order 66.
