Studio Renaissance Entertainment was founded in 2014 and has since released seven games. New Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was created in three and a half years. At a time when new game development tends to drag on, these are remarkable numbers. The game director explains in an interview with Bloomberg (via Game Developer) why the work didn’t take long. Stig Asmussen.
“Our philosophy is that it’s okay to make mistakes, but you need to make mistakes quickly and on time,” he says. He acknowledges that the development of Survivor was helped by experience with the predecessor Fallen Order. But the most important thing, according to him, was to know when to intervene and tame the ambitions of the team – remove, for example, a game element or mechanics.
The home office also played a role, which Respawn got used to very quickly. While some companies are returning to standard work solutions after the coronavirus pandemic subsides, Star Wars Jedi developers can still work from home today. According to Asmussen, “there was a course correction” when studios were forced to implement home offices.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a more ambitious sequel to 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows the further adventures of Jedi Cal Kestis. Releases today April 28 at PC, Xbox series And prefix 5.
