“Star Wars Jedi Series Part 3 Targeted for 2026 Release”
Anticipation builds for the third installment in the Star Wars Jedi series, as reports suggest a targeted release in 2026. This potential timeline was hinted at by Tim Gettys during a recent episode of the Kinda Funny Gamescast.
Release Timeline for Star Wars Jedi Series Part 3
Gettys noted that he has heard indications of a 2026 release cycle. He speculated that the game might be announced in May, potentially coinciding with the Summer Game Fest 2026. If this projection holds true, a release could follow later that same year, possibly in September.
Development Insights
In August 2025, Laura Miele, president of EA Entertainment, confirmed that the upcoming title is part of their current slate associated with Disney and Marvel IPs. She emphasized that Star Wars Jedi Part 3 is being developed by Respawn Entertainment.
The development timeline raises questions about the feasibility of a 2026 release. The previous entry, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, launched in 2023, leading to speculation about a roughly three-year cycle for the next game. While not unheard of, the timeline may present challenges, especially in light of recent changes at Respawn.
Key Developments in the Studio
- Game director Stig Asmussen departed Respawn Entertainment following the launch of Jedi: Survivor.
- This departure could influence the direction and development of the series’ next installment.
Previous Releases in the Star Wars Jedi Series
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor debuted on April 28, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X/S. Its earlier predecessor, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, was released in the same year it was announced. The sequel added to the story, which follows the protagonist, Cal Kestis, played by Cameron Monaghan, as he navigates the challenges of life under the Galactic Empire’s rule.
Similar to its predecessor, Jedi: Survivor integrates Metroidvania-style elements, combining lightsaber combat and Force abilities with exploration, traversal challenges, and environmental puzzles.
Ultimately, the future of the Star Wars Jedi series remains open. Fans eagerly await any official announcements regarding the next chapter in this beloved franchise, with hopes for a successful launch in 2026.
