Formalized during Star Wars Celebration 2022 last May, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been rather discreet since. That said, if we are to believe the latest indiscretions of journalist Jeff Grubb (VentureBeat), it could be that Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment decide to put it back in December. In any case, this is what the guy says in the last issue of his Game Mess Mornings podcast broadcast on the Giant Bomb YouTube channel, stating that the development of the game is ongoing, and that unless there is a change in the last minute, the release in March 2023 (an insistent rumor that has not been confirmed by any of the parties involved) is not in question.
Scheduled for December 8, the Game Awards seem to be the ideal event to discover a new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor trailer, unless the American publisher plans to organize a separate show (which would be surprising), or nothing at all. simply. If there were to be something during the ceremony hosted by Geoff Keighley, it would then correspond to the kickoff of a short and intensive promotional campaign during which Electronic Arts would communicate regularly on the game until its release.
For the record, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will only be released on PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PS5. "I think the difference is mainly in the ray-tracing or the lighting, had justified Stig Asmussen, the director of the game. We have the possibility of playing with the light in real time to a degree which exceeds all that we've produced so far. Because it's in real time, we're able to immediately see the changes we're making in lighting. Which means we have more time to tweak, iterate more, and get results with a more cinematic dimension."
Before adding: "In addition, there are these super fast discs which allow us to quickly load a lot of content. I have always worked on games which do not display loading screens. The fact that these consoles have a fast storage system has made things a lot easier. Those are probably the two main benefits. I don't forget that the haptic features of the PS5 [via the DualSense, editor's note] on which we are in the process of to work."
