Double-bladed stance does occasionally inspire frustration as it’s a slower move set, and leaves room between swings for enemies to block and attack in quick jabs – but its grace and flow feel wonderful. Block, twist, spin, and weave, and you’ll sweep the battlefield, surviving to fight another day after conquering each satisfying, puzzle-like enemy encounter. He leaps backwards as other enemies brutishly swing clubs. Kestis swings forward, then blocks as stormtroopers fire blasters.

His evolution is a reflection of the wider changes to be found in the highly-anticipated Fallen Order sequel.ĭuring a recent international media event, GamesHub was able to get hands-on with a preview build of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, set shortly after the game’s opening chapter. No longer afraid, he wields his lightsaber with gusto, dashing and spinning with balletic grace. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor introduces him as a more confident, well-rounded hero. In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, he was naive, unsteady, and childlike in his approach. Five years on the run has changed reluctant Jedi, Cal Kestis – in so many ways.
