To provide you some sense of how far throughout the galaxy the sport has reached, developer EA has launched a bunch of stats detailing gamers’ adventures on Koboh and past.
With an infographic, the EA Star Wars Twitter account revealed that gamers have been defeated by the sport’s Rancor over 9 million instances. This may indicate they have not watched Return of the Jedi sufficient, however in equity, Cal Kestis would not have a useful steel door to drop on the creature’s neck. Unsurprisingly, the Rancor is a considerably higher fighter than Rick the Door Technician, though Jedi Survivor’s joke boss has nonetheless by some means managed to beat gamers 489 instances.

The primary factor the numbers reveal, nonetheless, is that Star Wars followers are an austere kind with little endurance for whimsy. The preferred lightsaber stance was “single”, which means most gamers are batting Battle Droids in the usual lightsaber stance. By comparability, merely 8% of gamers are working round with a blaster, and solely 7% are getting their Kylo Ren on with the Crossguard stance, although it is value noting that these stances are unlocked later within the recreation, so gamers have much less likelihood to make use of them, and may be much less inclined to maneuver away from a well-recognized playstyle. The desire for vanilla goes on, although: the most well-liked hair/beard mixture is “crew lower/quick beard” and the most well-liked lightsaber color is “White”. In different phrases, gamers are doing nothing to change the Jedi Order’s status for being a bunch of boring bastards (though white is technically a novel lightsaber coloration).
Survivor’s Jedi have been busy cleansing up the sport’s numerous aspect actions, nonetheless. Based on the stats, gamers have collected over 3 million bounties, gained over 8 million rounds of holotactics, and planted greater than 15 million seeds within the backyard above Greez’s bar.

Enjoyable as utilizing these stats to make enjoyable of Star Wars followers could also be, the numbers do not actually get to the guts of what makes Jedi Survivor such an enchancment over the unique. That may be the mixture of spectacular set-pieces with much-improved fight and platforming. As Morgan factors out in his assessment “Jedi: Survivor revisits an period when third-person motion video games had been designed like jungle-gyms… Respawn has resurrected the big-budget 3D platformer, and it is superb.” EA hasn’t launched particular gross sales figures as of but, however the firm final reported that the sequel had been pacing “very strongly” forward of Fallen Order, having been performed by “hundreds of thousands”.
