Star Wars Jedi 3: Leaker Claims 2027 Release and Reveal Coming Soon
The Force is stirring at Respawn. According to a Star Wars insider, Jedi 3 could be just months away from an official reveal, with a release possibly set for 2027. Looks like Cal Kestis isn’t done yet.
While Lucasfilm has already confirmed that Cal Kestis’s story won’t end with Jedi 3, it’s leaker FivesWalker—well-known in the Star Wars community—who’s reigniting the hype. In a post yesterday, he claimed the trilogy’s third chapter could arrive next year, with marketing kicking off “sooner than you think,” possibly even before the Game Awards on December 10.

2027: a timeline that fits the franchise’s cycle
If the rumor holds true, Respawn Entertainment would be sticking to its now-familiar rhythm. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order dropped in 2019, followed by Star Wars Jedi: Survivor four years later in 2023. A 2027 launch would keep that same four-year development cycle, making FivesWalker’s prediction pretty plausible on paper.
EA and Respawn’s communication history backs this up. Both previous games were revealed about a year before release: Fallen Order was unveiled in April 2019 for a November launch, while Survivor made its media debut in late 2022. A reveal by the end of 2026 would fit the pattern, just like other cult franchises plotting their return right now.
Several factors make this timeline believable:
- A four-year development cycle between each entry, consistent so far
- Reveals typically happening a year ahead of launch
- Respawn has never hidden that a third chapter is in the works
Marketing could kick off before the Game Awards
This might be the juiciest part of FivesWalker’s scoop. The leaker isn’t just talking about a 2027 release: he claims marketing will start “sooner than you think” and bets on a first tease even before the Game Awards on December 10. EA could pull back the curtain on Jedi 3 as early as this fall, whether at a dedicated event or with a surprise online trailer.
Yes, Jedi 3 will be next year. Marketing will start to occur sooner than you think. I would bet even before TGA. Very exciting time for SW games.— FivesWalker (@fiveswalker) September 30, 2026

FivesWalker is a leaker focused on the Star Wars universe, but his track record is tough to verify. No secondary sources have backed up his claims so far, and neither EA nor Respawn have commented. So take it with a grain of salt—even if the timing does line up with the franchise’s usual pace.
Stig Asmussen’s departure: a major shift behind the scenes
Beyond the timeline, there’s a big question hanging over this third entry: the absence of its creator. Stig Asmussen, who directed both Fallen Order and Survivor, left Respawn after the second game’s release in 2023 to start his own studio. A departure like that could have slowed production, or even thrown the trilogy’s creative direction into doubt.
But transitions like this rarely happen overnight at a studio the size of Respawn. Leadership could easily have planned for Asmussen’s exit and set up a smooth handoff. If Jedi 3 really does hit its 2027 window, it would suggest development hasn’t suffered from the reshuffle—or at least, not enough to cause a major delay.
The coming weeks should bring more clarity. If FivesWalker is right, we could see the first official sign of Star Wars Jedi 3 before fall is out, whether through a surprise teaser or a Game Awards appearance. If not, fans may have to wait until 2027 to find out where Cal Kestis’s saga is really headed.
