Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Director Says That The Team Took Inspiration From Metroid Prime

Recently, EA showed off some new gameplay from their upcoming game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order at E3 2019 but sadly wasn’t confirmed to be coming to Nintendo Switch.

However, it still does seem that the development team are fans of Nintendo with the director of the game, Stig Asmussen, saying that during development the team took inspiration from the Metroid Prime series.

Check out what he said in an interview with Game Informer below:

“We looked at the structure of Metroid Prime closely. Early on, I looked at the cadence of getting upgrades in Metroid and we mapped that out. Ours in Jedi: Fallen Order is nothing like that, but it was a good exercise to go through. I think [Jedi: Fallen Order’s approach] will feel fresh; it’s not exactly like Metroidvania. We also looked at games like Bloodborne and Dark Souls that have the same types of methodology. We studied those games and they inspired us to find an experience that works well for our game.”
