double-bladed lightsabers would appear in the game, which came in an earlier gameplay trailer, but this does confirm that Darth Maul’s signature blade isn’t reserved for the dark side.
The release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order can’t come soon enough for many fans, thanks to glowing impressions from previews, but there are some concerns about how the game will turn out as its launch closes in. It was recently announced that publisher Sekiro were held until launch day, and then turned out to be almost universally positive.
Respawn’s final preview of Fallen Order at X019 suggests that the late embargo may be hiding some secrets, after all. In a trailer shown during the stream, Cal Kestis is shown piloting a ship into hyperspace, traversing some of the game’s environments, and using his Force powers to take on some never-seen-before foes. Toward the end, he even activates a blue double-bladed lightsaber, followed by brief gameplay footage of the blade in use.
rule out dismemberment as being too gory for modern Star Wars.
Whether Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order ends up being as good as its positive previews suggest or justifying the worries caused by its launch-day embargo, there’s hardly any time left to speculate. What’s clear, though, is that Respawn looks to be delivering a Star Wars game that lets players feel the power of a lightsaber for themselves.
