The Star Wars Jedi series has become one of the most successful modern Star Wars game franchises, blending cinematic storytelling with challenging action gameplay. With Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor, Respawn Entertainment turned Cal Kestis into a central figure of the current canon — and now, attention is turning toward what comes next.
While details remain limited, several key points about Star Wars Jedi III have already been confirmed or strongly indicated. Here’s what we know so far.
A Possible Shift to Unreal Engine 5
One of the most notable developments surrounding Star Wars Jedi III is the possibility that the game will be built using Unreal Engine 5. The previous entries in the series were developed using Unreal Engine 4, but UE5 would allow for:
- More detailed environments
- Improved lighting and scale
- Smoother transitions between gameplay and cinematic moments
While not officially locked in, the move would align with broader industry trends and signal a technical step forward for the final chapter.
The Final Game in the Jedi Trilogy
Star Wars Jedi III is expected to be the final installment in Cal Kestis’ story. From the beginning, the series was conceived as a trilogy, and the third game is positioned as the conclusion to the narrative threads introduced in Fallen Order and expanded in Survivor.
That places additional weight on the project. Rather than simply iterating on mechanics, the game is expected to:
- Resolve Cal’s personal journey
- Address the long-term consequences of his choices
- Bring closure to the supporting cast and their place in the galaxy
A New Leadership Era at Respawn
The future of the Star Wars Jedi series will look slightly different behind the scenes.
Stig Asmussen, the director who led both Fallen Order and Survivor, has departed EA and Respawn to found his own studio. His exit marked the end of an era for the franchise, but it hasn’t slowed development.
Veteran leaders within Respawn Entertainment have stepped into key roles, ensuring continuity in tone, design philosophy, and storytelling. The studio’s internal experience with the franchise suggests that Jedi III will remain consistent with what players expect, even as it evolves.
Officially in Development
Perhaps most importantly, Star Wars Jedi III is no longer just an assumption.
Both Cameron Monaghan, who portrays Cal Kestis, and Laura Miele, President of EA Entertainment, have confirmed that the game is officially in production. That confirmation solidifies the project’s status and places it firmly on EA’s long-term release roadmap.
While no release window has been announced, the acknowledgment alone signals that Cal Kestis’ story is moving toward its planned conclusion.
What Comes Next
For now, Star Wars Jedi III remains deliberately under wraps. There are no trailers, no screenshots, and no detailed gameplay breakdowns — and that’s likely intentional. With expectations high, Respawn and EA appear focused on development rather than early marketing.
What is clear is that the game represents a turning point:
- The end of a trilogy
- A potential engine upgrade
- A new leadership chapter at Respawn
- And the final chapter in Cal Kestis’ journey
Until more is revealed, Star Wars Jedi III stands as one of the most anticipated upcoming Star Wars games — not because of what we’ve seen, but because of what it promises to conclude.
