Respawn Entertainment Unveils New Accessibility Features for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Respawn Entertainment, the developers behind the upcoming game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, have announced a range of new accessibility features that are sure to please fans of the franchise. While many of these features are commonplace in modern video games, there is one option that sets Jedi: Survivor apart from the rest.

Slow Mode

One of the most exciting new features is the Slow Mode toggle, which allows players to slow down the action of the world in order to make combat and platforming easier. Essentially, this is bullet time for the entire game. While EA did not share any videos of slow mode in action, it is sure to make for some impressive clips once the game launches on April 28th.

In addition to Slow Mode, Jedi: Survivor also offers other accessibility options such as the ability to adjust subtitle size and a colorblind mode. The developers have also included field of vision options to improve the gaming experience for those with visual impairments.

Accessibility Features as a Marketing Tool
The practice of including accessibility features in marketing prelaunch is becoming increasingly common. For example, ahead of the launch of Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores DLC, Guerrilla Games announced that they were adding a thalassophobia mode to help players with a fear of deep water navigate the game’s underwater sections.

By including these features in their marketing, developers are showing their commitment to creating games that are accessible to a wider audience. As the video game industry continues to grow, it is important that developers consider the needs of all players, including those with disabilities.

In conclusion, the new accessibility features in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are sure to make the game more enjoyable for a wider audience. With the addition of Slow Mode, players can now take their time to explore the game’s world and engage in combat without feeling overwhelmed. It is exciting to see that developers are taking accessibility seriously and including these features as part of their marketing strategy.
