To infinity and beyond !

After many rumors were shared about it, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Cal Kestis’ next adventure, came out of the shadows during Star Wars Celebration 2022. During this event, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor offers a very first impressive trailer in CGI as well as some surprising news: the title will not be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This information obviously made people talk about it, which is why Stig Asmussen, the director of the game, decided today to speak. And unsurprisingly, this choice was made to be able to fully exploit the new machines.

I think the difference is mostly in ray-tracing or lighting, we have the ability to play with light in real time to a degree beyond anything we’ve done so far. As it is in real time, we are able to immediately see the changes we are making in terms of lighting. Which means we have more time to tweak more and get results with a more cinematic dimension. Stig Asmussen, director of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

But that’s not all, the director also adds that the team preferred to abandon the old-gen versions in favor of the PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions for not having loading times, and for that , it was obviously necessary to use the magic SSDs of the new gaming platforms.

There are also those ultra-fast drives that allow us to load a ton of content in the snap of our fingers. I’ve always worked on games that don’t have a loading screen and the fact that these consoles have a fast storage system makes it a lot easier. These are probably the two main benefits (of only using the next-gen). Stig Asmussen

An added benefit for the PS5

In addition to fast loading and ray-tracing which will allow for ever more realistic visuals, the PlayStation 5 will have one more advantage over the competition. Without surprise, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will leverage the various abilities of the DualSense.

I don’t forget the haptic features of the DualSense that we are currently working on. Stig Asmussen

We imagine then that the haptic vibrations of the console will make it possible to feel the blows that Cal Kestis strikes his enemies or that the adaptive triggers will make us feel the power of the Force. Either way, we’re looking forward to it.

You have understood it, like Buzz Lightyear, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor intends to go to infinity and the beyond by exploiting 100% of the new gaming platforms. We can therefore expect a great show. ! Everything will be released on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2023.
