While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will see players traveling the galaxy as Cal Kestis, it will not feature fast travel as Respawn Entertainment wants players to "explore and traverse (and re-traverse) the different planets."

During a hands-on event featuring the first few hours of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, USgamer.com noticed that fast travel was not an option while exploring one of the early planets, Zeffo. Instead, players must traverse back to their ship, the Mantis, before leaving and flying back out into space.We reached out to EA for a comment on this, and they responded by saying "while we don’t have fast travel in the game, we do want players to explore and traverse (and re-traverse) the different planets, which players can do from the Mantis. We also wanted each planet’s explorable areas to feel interconnected through discoverable shortcuts back to key areas. No matter how deep you got into a planet, you can traverse back to where you want to go with ease or through a little planning on your map."

While fast travel will not be available, players will be able to unlock shortcuts, not unlike the Dark Souls franchise, that will give them easier ways to get where they need to go.Fast travel aside, our impressions after playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order were very positive. IGN's own Brian Altano said "It seems like there’s going to be tons of stuff to do here, but I’m mostly just excited to explore it all at my own pace and to get lost in this big, dangerous world. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order went from being a game that I was cautiously optimistic about to a game I know I’m going to play to one hundred percent completion - and likely - one that I’ll be championing when those heated “Game of the Year” debates start springing up in a few months."For more on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, be sure to read how Wind Waker, Metroid, and Dark Souls are an inspiration for this latest Star Wars title, learn how combat works, and look through 50 gameplay details from the game that will be releasing on November 15, 2019, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
