These days, “New Game Plus” is practically a standard feature in trendy blockbuster single-player video games. The thought is to come up with a new approach to enjoy the game after you’ve noticed the credit roll, most often taking your powered-up personality and their endgame apparatus again to the start and relishing being overpowered.
Recommended Videos2019’s Fallen Order launched without New Game Plus, even though it in the end arrived in a patch six months after launch. The hotly anticipated sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is out on Friday so does it characteristic this feature at release?
The resolution is sure and then some. On attaining the end of Survivor, you'll be able to go back to the open international to mop up any aspect missions (and uncover some new postgame lore), but additionally get a pop-up explaining how New Game Plus works. This lets you elevate “all stances, earned ability points, and cosmetics from previous playthroughs” through to a new game (and also get some new lightsaber colours).
But there also are 3 superior new “perks” that transform how the game plays.
Purity
First is the very interesting-sounding “Purity” mode. This “grants a large increase in weapon harm for both pals and foes”. Star Wars games have traditionally had a difficult time making lightsaber combat feel as lethal as it's in the films, because the weapon will have to slice via enemies like a sizzling knife via butter. Survivor‘s neat dismemberment gadget does a neat process of creating it really feel bad, however inevitably lightsaber injury may be very a lot toned down from what it must be.
Purity mode addresses that, regardless that also makes enemy assaults like blaster bolts and melee swipes kill Cal in “1-3 hits”. This high-risk/high-reward “glass cannon” mode sounds adore it’s for knowledgeable players best, though we will’t wait to see top-level gamers carving a smoking path in the course of the game as they blow their own horns their abilities.
Warrior
The “Warrior” mode could also be relatively distinctive, billing itself as changing “same old enemies with new, more difficult combat encounters”. Presumably, this may increasingly ditch the scrub Stormtroopers in want of extra powerful late-game enemies, providing a actually difficult take a look at for experienced players. The turn aspect is that those enemies additionally provide extra enjoy, letting you max out Cal’s quite a lot of talent bushes a lot more briefly.
Trendsetter
Fallen Order means that you can dress up Cal in quite a lot of ponchos, even though let’s face it, they’re now not exactly the most thrilling model accessory. Survivor is going method beyond that, letting you totally customize your Jedi hero (and his adorable droid buddy BD-1) in multiple outfits, hairstyles, and beard choices. There’s also a dizzyingly deep lightsaber customization menu to make your very personal hilt, with a ridiculous amount of choices inside of.
“Trendsetter” mode leans into this, completely randomizing your whole cosmetic options upon loss of life. This is clearly more of a comedy option than anything else but we’re morbidly curious to see what fashion screw ups will result from it.
So get out there and slice up some Imperials, however don’t put the controller down as soon as the credits roll, as there’s a lot more to do in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
