Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will ship with an arachnophobia mode that completely removes spider-like enemies from the game.
Many arachnophobic gamers lamented the presence of giant spider-like enemies known as Wyyyschokk in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which haunted the lush forested Wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk and enjoyed ambushing protagonist Cal Kestis at the least convenient moment.
Unfortunately for some, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is also set to feature at least one enemy of an arachnid disposition. However, this time around Respawn Entertainment has taken mercy on us by including a handy option that will allow players to eradicate the arachnid threat from the game altogether with the press of a menu toggle.
As highlighted by the Twitter account Daily Jedi Survivor, and independently verified by IGN, Respawn Entertainment has included an arachnophobia option, which will allow you to remove spider-like enemies from the game entirely.
The thoughtful feature echoes the efforts of other developers including Obsidian Entertainment, which added a setting to its survival game Grounded last year that allowed players to select the level of detail present with arachnid enemies. The highest setting of the safe mode essentially reduced the eight legged denizens to a collection of floating blobs, rendering them more comical than threatening.
Meanwhile, other game creators have opted to sprint in the complete opposite direction, with indie developer Asymmetric including an arachnophilia option in its adventure RPG Shadows Over Loathing, which ensured that there would always be spiders on screen.
In our 9/10 review, IGN’s Dan Stapleton says Star Wars Jedi: Survivor “takes what Fallen Order achieved and wall-runs with it, then double-jumps and air-dashes straight into an epic lightsaber battle.”
