Game director Stig Asmussen spoke about the design change with Game Informer . When asked about the in-game saber design, which features a solid blue hue rather than a white ‘core’ as seen in most other lightsabers, Asmussen explained that it was not Respawn’s intention to redesign the classic sci-fi sword, but was instead simply a mistake.“We made a mistake on that one and since then we’ve fixed it,” Asmussen said. “That was very fair feedback, very fair criticism, and we’ve tweaked that. We’ve also tweaked the shape of the lightsaber blade a little bit as well, too. You can see the difference right away.”With that in mind, the next time we see gameplay of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the lightsaber should be notably more familiar in style. That time is likely to be Gamescom, which takes place in Germany at the end of August.For more lightsabers and blasters, check out 19 things you missed from the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order demo , as well as our breakdown of how combat works in this latest Jedi game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has a release date of November 15, 2019 and is being released as a PC game , a PS4 game and an Xbox One game.
