Key Takeaways
- The upcoming Star Wars Jedi title will be the last in the series, centering around Cal Kestis.
- There’s a good chance Respawn Entertainment is already working on the new title, based on several indications.
- EA has earned $5 billion from the Star Wars Jedi trilogy, despite some hiccups.
EA has just confirmed that the next Star Wars Jedi title will be the last chapter within this series.
While some of the latest SW titles were a bit, let’s say, underwhelming (cough, coughStar Wars Outlaws), EA is still confident their newest product will be well-received.
Barring a major surprise, the new title will again revolve around Cal Kestis, a former Jedi padawan we met in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Given the current progression of the story, our hero will likely continue seeking refuge for fellow Jedis or possibly launch a major counter-offensive against the Empire.
Both Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor were immensely popular among gamers. Based on the info from the Investor Day 2024 Conference, Respawn Entertainment is already deep into the project.
In fact, we took our investigation a step further by snooping around their company site. We’ve noticed that Respawn Entertainment is looking for designers and engineers, which is another indication that the new game is well on its way.
Release Date May Be ‘Far, Far Away’
Perhaps the most important news from the conference is that there’s still no timeline for the newest Star Wars Jedi entry. Unfortunately, EA was rather stingy about information about the new project.
Here’s what Cameron Monaghan, who portrayed Cal Kestis, had to say about the third part some time ago:
“That’s a big undertaking, and there have been some conversations so far, but hopefully, when all things are said and done, we’ll be able to go in and make something really cool for you guys again.”
EA’s definitely rubbing its hands each time they mention the Star Wars Jedi trilogy. Since the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, over 40 million players have enjoyed these two titles. Which perhaps illustrates how much of a potential cash cow this final chapter could be.
Despite a few hiccups, specifically the company’s attempt to introduce ads to its games, EA still managed to earn a whopping $5 billion on the trilogy.
With the last-gen version of Survivor published on PS4 and Xbox One just a week ago, these numbers will only go up. Our team will update you with the latest Star Wars Jedi scoops as soon as we get something juicy!
