The next installment in Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi series is set to bring one of the franchise's most successful gaming stories to a close. Electronic Arts has confirmed that the upcoming third game will serve as the concluding chapter of Cal Kestis' trilogy, which began with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in 2019. Following the success of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in 2023, the studio is now preparing to deliver the final act of an adventure that has become a major part of modern Star Wars gaming.

The third installment is expected to explore the consequences of Cal's increasingly complicated relationship with the Force. Having grown from a Jedi survivor into a formidable warrior, the protagonist now faces the possibility of being consumed by the dark side. His connections with Merrin, Greez and Kata could also shape the upcoming narrative, especially after the dramatic events of Survivor left several important storylines unresolved.

EA's plans for the trilogy have been in place for some time. During an investor presentation, EA executive Laura Miele confirmed that Respawn was working on the final chapter, highlighting a player base of more than 40 million across the company's Star Wars games. Former series director Stig Asmussen had also previously revealed that he envisioned Cal's journey as a trilogy, with ideas for its conclusion already taking shape during the development of Survivor.

However, the conclusion of the trilogy may not mark Cal Kestis' final appearance in the Star Wars universe. Lucasfilm has previously indicated that additional stories featuring the character are planned, leaving the possibility of future appearances in other projects. Meanwhile, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier has suggested that development of Star Wars Jedi 3 is already well advanced. Despite growing anticipation, EA has yet to officially reveal the game's title, release date or supported platforms.
