Is Star Wars Jedi Survivor open world?

Is Star Wars Jedi Survivor open world? A mighty fine question especially for those after a sense of the world Respawn has conjured for the sequel to Jedi Fallen Order. The original stuck to condensed semi-open planetary levels that, though fairly sizable and packed with shortcuts and secret areas, stuck to a clear, reasonably linear progression path with no scope for self-guided explorations beyond their defined limits.

In this guide, we’ll break down whether we can expect the same this time around and answer the question: is Star Wars Jedi Survivor open world? You can also learn more about the Jedi Survivor planets and Jedi Survivor enemies to get a better sense of what’s in store.

Is Star Wars Jedi Survivor an open world game?

Technically, no, Star Wars Jedi Survivor is not open world by the modern standards we’ve come to expect, but does feature elements of open world games and affords players more freedom to explore that its predecessor Jedi Fallen Order. 

Unlike most open world games centred on one large sprawling map flooded with icons denoting quests, points of interests, and so on, Jedi Survivor features smaller levels. From previews and trailers, it appears these are significantly larger in size than those in Fallen Order and aren’t quite so rigid in terms of how far players can venture beyond the beaten path, allowing for more free exploration. 

Like in the predecessor, the Metroidvania aspects remain with parts of each level inaccessible until the player unlocks certain abilities. Supplementing these larger areas are more linear sections that drive the narrative forward along with the same platforming sections and traversal mechanics as the original including wall running.
