Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Showcases Combat and the New Planet Koboh in 9 Minutes of Gameplay

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is just a few short months away, and today EA unveiled a meaty new chunk of gameplay via the folks at IGN. The footage takes place on the never-before-seen planet of Koboh, a rocky mining outpost overrun with various threats to cut down. Survivor's level design looks to be a bit more open than its predecessor, as we see Cal Kestis nimbly make his way around the environment slicing and dicing droids, the local wildlife, and other enemies. In the process, we get a good look at Cal’s various combat stances and weapon types, including a double-edged Darth-Maul-style lightsaber, dual-wielded lightsabers, and more. Check out the footage for yourself, below.

Looking pretty good! Nothing revolutionary, but a nice step up over Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Need to know more? Here’s the official description for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor…
