Description:

critical fear.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Respawn has hit the ground running with a ton of patches for its recent 
action-adventure game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor , but the most recent one is 
for all those who arent a fan of our eight-legged friends out there. 

As promised, Respawn has added a great deal of new content on day one of Star 
Wars Jedi: Survivor s release including plenty of new accessibility features 
to make this title enjoyable for a wider playerbase. However, theres one 
feature that has stood out to me in particular; this is Jedi: Survivor s 
arachnophobia toggle setting. 

If youre one of the kindred souls who nearly had a heart attack trying to 
venture through the Kashyyyk forests of the Wookie homeworld thanks to some 
spindly attackers known as the Wyyyschokk, then this feature is for you. At 
the toggle of a menu setting, players can completely eradicate the 
eight-legged invaders from Respawns new title entirely. An itsy bitsy problem 
ICYMI: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023) will feature the ability to toggle an 
arachnophobia option in accessibility settings to remove spiders from the 
game entirely... pic.twitter.com/9NBkmfDML2 April 25, 2023 See more 

Over the years, there have been plenty of creative solutions players have 
taken to overcome arachnophobia. For some, Obsidians survival 
action-adventure game set in a spider-infested back garden, Grounded , proved 
to be too much. Fortunately, it came with its own accessibility option for 
arachnophobes. I, for one, couldnt think of anything worse than getting 
harassed by giant man-eating spiders, so having the option to turn down the 
detail on these monstrosities and turn them into something comical came as a 
great relief. 

However, not all developers like Respawn and Obsidian are so kind as to put 
in arachnophobia barriers for their players; sometimes, we have to take 
matters into our own hands. This was the case for The Witcher 3 and its hairy 
muscular spiders that infested damp caves and isolated swamps. Luckily the 
Spider no More mod effectively replaces all the arachnomorphs for various 
other monsters. 

Similarly, the first-person action RPG Dark Messiah of Might and Magic 
included a similar mod that helped players ease their way through 
spider-infested sections by changing the creepy crawlies into pigs. 

Whether or not developers get involved, theres often a way to remove our 
eight-legged friends from games. While these fan-made mods clearly work and 
provide an important service for those who want to game without having a 
heart attack, its nice to see developers including these settings from the 
get-go. Now spider-dislikers can enjoy the latest chapter of Cal Kestis's 
story in peace. Jedi Survivor tackles one of Star Wars' biggest challenges
