Respawn Working on Final Chapter in Star Wars Jedi Series

Key Takeaways

  • The upcoming Star Wars Jedi game will serve as the final installment in the series, confirmed by EA President Laura Miele.
  • Respawn Entertainment, the developer behind the Jedi games, has been successful with over 40 million players.
  • Speculations arise about Cal Kestis’ dark journey and a new director for the final chapter after the departure of Stig Asmussen.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the confirmation of the third Star Wars Jedi game as the final chapter in the series has me more exhilarated than a Wookiee on Endor during the Rebel victory celebration. The success of Respawn Entertainment’s previous games in the franchise, with over 40 million players and $5 billion in net bookings, is a testament to their mastery of the Force.

Survivor,” as confirmed by EA, is said to be the last installment in the series. Back in 2019, Respawn Entertainment, known for creating “Titanfall,” won over “Star Wars” enthusiasts with “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.” This game introduced players to Cal Kestis, a former Jedi Padawan, who was rediscovering his connection to the Force during the Empire’s rule. Last year saw the release of “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” which continued the story with Cal searching for a safe haven for the remaining Jedi while evading the Imperials.

So far, both Star Wars Jedi games have been warmly accepted. There’s been a lot of speculation that Respawn is currently developing the following installment in the Force-themed trilogy. Job postings at the studio hint that they are seeking to fill multiple positions for a secret project, which could potentially be the next Star Wars Jedi sequel. However, EA has remained silent about its existence until now.

At EA’s Investor Day 2024 gathering, Laura Miele, president of EA Entertainment and Technology, announced that Respawn is developing a new game within the Star Wars Jedi series. This upcoming title will mark the conclusion of the series in keeping with traditional Star Wars style, as per Insider Gaming’s report. Miele added that Respawn is diligently working to deliver this concluding chapter to players, without disclosing any additional details about this third and final installment during the conference.

EA Confirms Third Star Wars Jedi Game, Says It Will be ‘Final Chapter’

Laura Miele pointed out that the last two Star Wars Jedi games have been popular among gamers, amassing more than 40 million players and generating over $5 billion in revenue since Fallen Order was launched in 2019. This week, older versions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor were released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, probably boosting these figures further as Respawn and EA move their attention towards the future of the series.

The storyline for the next Star Wars Jedi game remains uncertain and has sparked much discussion among players. Given the darker trajectory hinted in Cal’s character development in the previous games, some fans speculate that his journey may take a more ominous path in the final installment. This concept resonates with Cameron Monaghan, who has previously shown interest in delving deeper into this idea. However, what is certain is that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s successor will be led by a new director, as Stig Asmussen left Respawn Entertainment to establish his own studio last year.
