One of the most noteworthy additions to the game is the inclusion of several unique fighting stances for protagonist Cal Kestis. According to game director Stig Asmussen, there will be a total of five fully realized stances in the game, each with its own distinct benefits and drawbacks. One of these stances will allow Cal to wield a gun and lightsaber at the same time, adding a new ranged dynamic to his combat style. Another new stance will see Cal flipping and spinning his dual blades at elevated speed, while a third will allow him to wield a crossguard-style lightsaber similar to Kylo Ren’s. Asmussen stated that the choice of stance will depend on the enemy being faced, and it will be up to the player to figure out which stance is best suited to the predicament.
In addition, to the returning, nostalgicically loved characters BD-1, a fan favorite and Cere Junda, gamers can also look forward to meeting an exciting, never-before-seen character called Bode Akuna. Bode will serve as a buddy A.I. character, aiding Cal, the main protagonist in both combat and traversal. Speaking of traversal, Jedi Survivor will also introduce multiple, diverse new mechanics that allow for enhanced flexibility in exploration. This includes the use of an ascension cable for climbing and crossing distances, and also the ability to domesticate and mount mounts. According to Asmussen, the exploration aspect of the game will have a «Metroidvania feel», allowing Cal to chain together multiple, diverse skills in order to traverse the environment.
Players can also expect to visit a previously unexplored planet in the epic, interstellar universe, and also countless, many other worlds, and face off against a never-before-seen gang of enemies. The intense, heart-pounding action and visuals, which reportedly include some ray-tracing, are said to be top-notch.
