EA Says Star Wars Jedi 3 Is the Officially Confirmed Final Chapter of Cal Kestis’s Story

Cal Kestis’s story continues

The two Star Wars Jedi games released so far follow Cal Kestis from a young Padawan caught up in Order 66 to a powerful Force user. His story is set to continue in another game.

EA President of Entertainment and Technology Laura Miele announced the planned ending during the company’s Investor Day in September 2024. She said Respawn was working to bring the story’s final chapter to players.

Miele also said more than 40 million Star Wars fans had connected with Cal and his character arc. EA reported more than $5 billion in net bookings across its Star Wars games.

A final game, not necessarily goodbye

The upcoming game is expected to be the last in which Cal stars as the protagonist. That does not rule out spin-offs or other games featuring him in some capacity.

Details about the next installment remain limited, and no release timeline has been confirmed. The announcement establishes the intended endpoint for Cal’s central story without setting out when players will reach it.

EA’s wider development picture

EA’s sale to a consortium led by Saudi Arabian investors has put projects in doubt, but the Jedi series’ concluding game appears to be continuing. The article also says Mass Effect was set aside to make room for another Battlefront game.

The next Jedi game is described as further along in development than Mass Effect 5, making cancellation more costly. The series’ sales may also help support EA’s development efforts. Other Star Wars projects mentioned include a remake of Knights of the Old Republic and Fate of the Old Republic, set in the same era.
