EA Confirms Star Wars Jedi 3 as Cal Kestis Finale
Electronic Arts says the third game will close out the Cal Kestis story that began with Fallen Order.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Gaming
Electronic Arts has confirmed Star Wars Jedi 3 is in development as the final chapter of the Cal Kestis trilogy. A Lucasfilm representative added that more Cal Kestis stories are coming.
Why it matters
The confirmation gives players a clear endpoint for a character who has anchored the Jedi series since Fallen Order. For a franchise that has drawn more than 40 million players, it signals that the studio is planning around a defined, multi-game arc rather than open-ended releases.
The confirmation comes from Electronic Arts' investor day presentation, with Laura Miele discussing the franchise's success before addressing the sequel. Star Wars Jedi 3 has not received a full reveal, and no release date or platform details have been shared.
The players
Electronic Arts (EA)
A major American video game publisher behind the Star Wars Jedi series and a long-running holder of the Star Wars games license.
Respawn Entertainment
A California-based studio owned by EA that developed the Jedi series, including Fallen Order and Survivor.
Laura Miele
EA's chief studios officer, who discussed the Star Wars Jedi 3 sequel during the company's investor day presentation.
Stig Asmussen
A veteran game director who led the Star Wars Jedi games and previously described the Cal Kestis story as a three-game arc.
The details
Respawn Entertainment is developing the game, and Stig Asmussen has said ideas for the final installment were already being discussed while Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was in development. Asmussen had previously envisioned Cal's adventure spanning three games, which the announcement now confirms.
Timeline
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order introduced Cal Kestis to players.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor released in 2023.
Final-installment planning was underway during Survivor's development.
Season Trajectory
The Jedi series has moved from a single game introducing Cal Kestis to a sequel and now a planned finale, turning a standalone action-adventure into a closed trilogy. Lucasfilm's comment that more Cal stories are coming suggests the character may continue beyond this game.
Players who want to follow the Cal Kestis story should play Fallen Order and Survivor first, since the planned finale continues directly from those games. Because no release date or platform list has been announced, fans should wait for an official reveal before making purchase decisions.
The takeaway
Following a single character across a planned trilogy gives players a clearer narrative payoff than open-ended franchise releases. Playing the earlier games first will make the finale considerably more rewarding.
