Star Wars Jedi 3 will close out Cal Kestis’ story, as EA has said since 2024. The game still has no title, release date, or platforms yet.
The line is back in circulation this week, after Game Rant ran it on 12 November and ScreenRant followed a day later, both presenting it as confirmed. We found no new EA statement, though. The words come from Laura Miele, EA’s President of Entertainment and Technology, at the company’s Investor Day in September 2024.
Respawn is working hard to bring the final chapter of this thrilling story to players.

In the same talk, Miele said EA’s Star Wars games had passed $5 billion in net bookings. She added, “Over 40 million Star Wars fans have connected with Cal Kestis and his arc of becoming a powerful Jedi.” At the time, Gaming Bible called it “the first official announcement of the series ending with the third installment.”
A trilogy from the start
The trilogy idea predates Miele’s talk. Former director Stig Asmussen told IGN in 2023, “I always wanted to see this as a trilogy.” According to Game Rant, ideas for the final instalment came up during Survivor’s development. Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order arrived in November 2019, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor followed on 28 April 2023, built on Unreal Engine 4 and averaging 84 on OpenCritic.
Cal himself may not be finished. A Lucasfilm representative told Game Rant, “Never say never. We’ve got his lightsaber in the park. We’ve got more Cal stories coming.” ScreenRant adds that this “doesn’t rule out potential spin-offs or additional games where Cal Kestis can appear.” EA hasn’t announced another Jedi game after the trilogy.
Surviving EA’s shake-up
The game has outlasted a turbulent stretch at EA. ScreenRant says the sale of EA to a consortium led by Saudi Arabian investors “threw a ton of projects into doubt”, but the final Jedi game seems to be continuing. In its view, Mass Effect fell by the wayside to make room for another Battlefront game, and Jedi 3 is further along than Mass Effect 5 was. It’s also not the only Star Wars project to hit trouble: Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse faces its own uncertainty.
According to Game Rant, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier recently suggested Jedi 3 is far along and should be announced soon. Other claims gathered by G2A are unconfirmed. Leaker FivesWalker points to a 2027 release, and Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson reports an older Cal after a time jump. There’s also talk of a reveal before The Game Awards. The game skipped the June 2026 showcases.
The next obvious stages are The Game Awards on 10 December 2026 and Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles, which runs from 1 to 4 April 2027.
