Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen talks to StarWars.com about the highly-anticipated game's new teaser and much more.

We felt like this was a place we could go to and we could establish a lot of the things that we want to achieve in the game, and the world was just very rich and a good kind of stomping ground for us to have fun with combat and gameplay. There’s nothing that’s more important to us than getting the controller into the players’ hands and having them have a Star Wars experience that they feel is worthwhile, they have fun playing, and it puts a smile on their face. Some of that is portrayed in the trailer, and again, I don’t want to give anything away, but there’s definitely a sense of… Going to Dathomir was really exciting because I never thought I would see that in a video game, and I thought it showed a real love for the whole saga. Right there, that’s the purpose in the tone of it, is to leave the player with a lot of questions but they’re very intrigued. That means that we have more time to polish, that means that we can iterate more, and we can get better results that feel more filmic. When I saw the episode of Book of Boba Fett when they had a BD droid, and I’m watching that with my kids, it brought tears to my eyes. There were a lot of things that we left — I guess you would call on the editing room floor — from Jedi: Fallen Order that we knew that we wanted to put into the sequel. Stig Asmussen: Well, it turns out it worked out for us very well, because we wanted to make a Metroidvania-designed game, and that kind of means the player is in lock step, one-to-one, with the main character. Some of that comes down to like, more stances for combat, or where we’re going to go with the story, how Cal and the crew are going to evolve and grow, how we’re going to approach the worlds and the levels in the game, and expand them and make them more vibrant than they’ve been in the past. The points good and bad were fair, and those are things that we use to grow and build on the next game. StarWars.com: One thing I really liked about it was that I found Cal Kestis to be a really great audience surrogate.
