Respawn Entertainment has confirmed thatStar Wars Jedi: Survivorwill feature fast travel, along with other traversal options to quicken getting from point A to point B. WhileStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderwas very well received, it was not without its criticism. The lack of fast travel, in particular, was a point of frustration for manyStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderplayers. Respawn has taken the opportunity to ensure thatStar Wars Jedi: Survivorwon’t have the same problem.For the most part,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderplayers that progressed through the game in a relatively normal fashion wouldn’t have too significant of an issue with the lack of fast travel. It was when players wanted to go the extra step and try and 100% the game, collect every collectible, or otherwise explore every nook and cranny in the game that it became an issue. Players worked around the lack of fast travel by using repeated deaths totransport back to the Singer Mantis, but the trek could still be painful.RELATED:AMD Giving Away Star Wars Jedi: Survivor with Ryzen 7000 PurchasesTraveling should be much smoother inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, according to Respawn Entertainment. An interview in the upcoming issue of Play Magazine includes news onStar Wars Jedi: Survivorfromgame director Stig Asmussen. Asmussen explains that the upcoming release will include a point-to-point fast travel system, akin to what’s often standard in modern games with open worlds or large map areas.
Fast travel isn’t the only traversal option being included inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, either, confirms Asmussen. Asmussen says thatStar Wars Jedi: Survivorwill also feature mounts, creatures that can be ridden between points. That means that not only will players be able to ride a mount from point A to point B, but they’ll then be able to fast travel back to point A and vice versa. Searching for collectibles will be that much easier.
It’s unfortunate, of course, that players will have to wait a bit longer to experienceStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’s new traversal features for themselves. EA confirmed recently thatStar Wars Jedi: Survivoris being delayedsix weeks and is now launching on April 28. There’s unfortunately no fast travel option to make April arrive any earlier.
While the wait forStar Wars Jedi: Survivoris going to be that much longer, Respawn Entertainment appears to be doing its best to make sure the game is worth the wait. Thesequel toStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderwill be a next-gen console exclusive, allowing major steps forward in graphics settings and loading times. Loading time improvements, specifically, may be responsible for now allowing fast travel.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivorreleases April 28 on PC, PS4, and Xbox Series X/S.
