[GameSpot] - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Glitch Spoils A Late-Game Surprise

A Star Wars Jedi: Survivor player encountered a glitch that completely spoils a late-game event. Warning: spoilers below for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Aidenversusfifa shared a now-viral TikTok showing him playing Jedi: Survivor, exploring the planet Koboh in what looks to be the early stages of the game. After entering a cave passageway, he comes across a character that shouldn't have even appeared until later on in the game.

@aidenversusfifa This has to be the craziest gaming moment I’ve ever experienced in my life, i literally have a fear of Darth Vader #fyp #foryou #jedisurvivor #gameglitch #starwars ♬ original sound - Aiden Versus FIFA

Darth Vader's breathing can suddenly be heard in the tunnel and it isn't until the player jumps up on a ledge, equipping their dual lightsabers in a panic, that they can see the Sith Lord himself ready for a fight with Cal. The boss fight's health bar even appears, and after attempting to reset the game by jumping off a cliff, Vader still remains in the cave. The player even tests to see if he can fight him, but Vader's attacks don't appear to deal any damage.

The glitch is both hilarious due to Aidenversusfifa's reaction, and concerning since Vader is not supposed to even appear on Koboh during the game. In fact, the iconic character doesn't appear until later on, on the planet Jedha, during an encounter where the player takes control of Cere Junda, Cal's master.

It's unfortunate for those who could potentially encounter the bug early on in the game, like Aidenversusfifa, since it spoils the surprising entrance of Vader later on.

Other Jedi: Survivor players are experiencing a bug that is removing their preorder bonus items from the game. The Hermit customization options, including the outfit and lightsaber components, are being reported to go missing.

In GameSpot's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review, Jordan Ramée said, "It's a superb Star Wars game that gets into the nitty-gritty of the struggle of what it takes for a Jedi Knight to begin the journey toward the rank of Master."
