Star Wars Jedi: Survivor fans can't decide whether grizzled Cal looks good or not.
With Star Wars Jedi: Survivor set to launch sometime in the near future - March 16, 2023, if a now-deleted Steam page update is to be believed - EA is getting the hype train in motion. A new promo image posted on the official EA Star Wars Twitter page doesn't give us any new details about the game, but it does show protagonist Cal Kestis looking much more dishevelled than he did in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
The sequel picks up five years after the events of the first game, with Cal doing his best to stay one step ahead of the Empire's pursuit. This has seemingly taken its toll on the Jedi Knight, as from the image, we see his facial scars much more pronounced, a rather unkempt beard, and the kind of look you get when you've not hit the hay for about a week.

"Bro looks grizzled and magnificent," says Amazing_Break; an equally pleased OmniTurboPikachu1 responds with, "Cal's got a beard!".

Not all are happy with Cal's rougher look, though, with some questioning whether his facial lacerations are the result of some unusual shaving techniques. "Do you think Jedi ever shave with their lightsabers?" asks one fan, to which another replies, "Looks like he might have tried a few times."
Star Wars fan KorabasUnchained writes, "Our boy has seen some s***," while JacobCenter25 feels this could be a sign of things to come. "Man, he looks exhausted. This is gonna be intense." And they might be right, as everything we've seen so far points to an altogether darker adventure for our protagonist this time around.
As well as the March release date, the system requirements were also seemingly posted prematurely on the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Steam page. If you're planning to play the game on PC, you might want to start making some room now, as it looks like it will require a ridiculous amount of hard drive space.
While you wait for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, why not try the best Star Wars games so far.
