At SDCC 2022, Hasbro revealed our first really good look at the new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Cal Kestis design. While Cal only fought with a lightsaber in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Survivor seems to be going in a more Jedi Knight/Dark Forces direction: Cal sports a blaster and even Kyle Katarn’s stylish beard.
When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was first announced, Respawn and EA made sure to distance it from another of the best Star Wars games on PC, the beloved Jedi Knight series. Now for the Cal Kestis figure design seen talk movie – Looks like Survivor will get more influence from Jedi Knight.
While in Fallen Order the player could only fight with a lightsaber and the power of the Force, in Survivor Cal he appears to be wielding a blaster, so like Jedi Knight we can shoot with Jedi gear. Cal even appears to sport a chin-length beard like Jedi Knight protagonist Kyle Katarn (albeit slightly less bushy, possibly in the next game).
Interestingly, the beard wasn’t shown in the trailer for Survivor, so it may show up later. Along with the new Cal Kestis design, Hasbro is also introducing several droid options for the game. It looks like at some point in Survivor we’ll be facing battle droids and magna guards from the Clone Wars era.

We’ll know closer to launch and hopefully get another full trailer sooner rather than later.
In other recent Star Wars Jedi: Survivor news, the game’s Steam page now shows an alarming “soon” release window instead of the 2023 date shown in the trailer.
