Images of a set of Obi-Wan Kenobi-themed cosmetics has surfaced online for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This cosmetic DLC will reportedly come as a pre-order bonus for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, though no official announcement has been made at press time.
The upcoming Star Wars action game by EA reportedly updated its Steam page recently, including details of the game’s pre-purchase information. This info will likely be revealed by Star Wars Jedi: Survivor formally during its appearance at the Game Awards.
If the leaked information is true, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players will be able to unlock cosmetics based on Obi-Wan Kenobi for pre-ordering the game. The leaked image features the Hermit Cosmetic outfit, as well as the Hermit Lightsaber and Combustion Blaster Set. The lightsaber appears to be the model Kenobi used as a padawan in The Phantom Menace, while the outfit and blaster look similar to ones Kenobi used in his recent Disney+ show.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Steam page has been the source of several leaks over a short period of time. Just a few days before this leak, it accidentally posted Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's prospective release date as March 16, 2023. The date was quickly pulled down, but almost immediately after, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor announced it would be appearing at The Game Awards. Players can safely expect a confirmation on the launch date, as well as a formal reveal of the Obi-Wan pre-order bonuses, during the awards show on December 8.
Some players are curious why it seems Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is giving them Obi-Wan’s padawan lightsaber, rather than the one he used as a hermit on Tatooine. However, considering it is the Hermit Lightsaber Set, it may also include Obi-Wan Kenobi's later lightsaber model. Players may have the chance to choose between the different sabers he used, and possibly combine them together, if the lightsaber customization is as robust in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as it was in its prequel.
Even more interesting is the presence of the blaster as a cosmetic option. Cal’s new design for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor features a blaster prominently on his hip, but it is currently unknown how it will be used. It is possible he may be able to wield the blaster himself, or that a rumored second playable character will use it. Either way, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor fans can expect to have some of their questions answered soon, as its Game Awards showcase will also feature some new gameplay footage.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set to launch in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
