New leaks suggest Star Wars Jedi III may be closer than expected, with recent reports pointing to a possible reveal on May 4 and a release window later in the year. While Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment have not confirmed any details, the number of sources reporting similar timelines is building anticipation.
The rumored timing lines up with Star Wars Day, which has become a reliable moment for major announcements tied to the franchise. Several gaming outlets and insider discussions indicate that EA could use that date to introduce the next entry, whether through a teaser trailer or an early look at the game’s direction.
A third game has been expected for some time. Respawn previously shared that Cal Kestis’ story was planned as a trilogy following the success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The second game expanded the scope of the series and left several narrative threads unresolved, setting up what appears to be a final chapter.
According to current leaks, the next game may take a more personal approach to Cal’s journey. Reports suggest the story could focus more heavily on his internal conflict with the Force, exploring the tension between light and dark in greater depth. Some rumors also point to the possible appearance of a white lightsaber, a rare element in Star Wars lore often associated with balance and independence from traditional Jedi or Sith roles.
Gameplay details remain largely unconfirmed, though there are recurring claims of expanded combat systems. These include potential new fighting styles and increased flexibility in how players approach encounters. There is also speculation about larger environments and improved traversal, building on systems introduced in Jedi: Survivor. As with most early information, these elements could change as development continues.
The potential late 2026 release window would be a slightly faster turnaround than previous games. Jedi: Survivor launched roughly three and a half years after Fallen Order and initially faced criticism for performance issues, particularly on PC. That experience could affect how Respawn approaches the next release, with more attention on performance and making sure the game runs smoothly at launch.
Even with these details circulating, nothing has been officially confirmed. Large-scale game development often brings changes to timelines and features, and EA has not provided a formal update on the project. Still, the steady flow of similar reports suggests that an announcement may be approaching.
If a reveal does take place in May, it would likely provide the first clear look at how Cal Kestis’ story will wrap up and what players can expect next.
