Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Gameplay Reveals Planet Koboh, Weapon Dual-Wielding

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor just got some new gameplay footage, courtesy of IGN. The nine-minute-long video offers a glimpse at the new planet Koboh, onto which our protagonist Cal Kestis (Cameron Monaghan) crash-landed, early in the game. Combat sequences against both wildlife and footsoldiers are on full display, alongside new changes to the telekinetic Force skill, and the ability to dual-wield weapons. Originally slated for a March release, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor got pushed into April 28, earlier this month, with developer Respawn Entertainment using the additional time to ensure a polished experience.

The lengthy gameplay footage steers clear of spoiler territory, and simply takes us on a journey through the rocky planet of Koboh. After surveying the area using his droid BD-1's inbuilt visor/ binoculars and placing a beacon, Kestis heads out into the wild to find a way to repair the ship. Familiar movesets from the prequel, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, such as wall-running return, but Survivor expands upon those traversal options with a grappling hook and an air-dash. Combat draws heavily from the previous game, with our hero being faced with a variety of droids wielding grenades and stronger guards with an electric staff. As stated above, Kestis can now dual-wield lightsabers, unlike the previous iteration where he could only use it for a quick second. This is all thanks to the new stances added to Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.

Force abilities have evolved as well, with Kestis now being able to fling enemies into the air and hold them afloat, before activating the next move. Previously, these were limited to pull and push, with the latter being a helpful tool in hurling back any incoming grenades onto foes. While not
