EA Signals Star Wars Jedi 3 Is Still Moving Forward
EA's leadership has indicated that Star Wars Jedi 3 remains a priority despite layoffs and BioWare's closure. The article says the game is slated for 2027 and that Cal Kestis will return.
EA is cutting 400 roles while BioWare has shut down, part of a 2026 wave that has already passed 10,000 industry job losses. Mass Effect 5 has been cancelled, leaving several projects uncertain.
An internal note from EA executives Cam and David reportedly names the next Star Wars Jedi entry among two major action-adventure launches, alongside Marvel’s Iron Man. The untitled Cal Kestis sequel is described as a 2027 priority, though no title has been confirmed.
The update may reassure Star Wars fans and action-adventure players that a major Cal Kestis sequel is still planned, which could sustain interest in the franchise. For developers and publishers, EA’s narrowed focus could signal fewer experimental projects and more reliance on established brands. Industry workers may see both stability around prioritized titles and continued uncertainty elsewhere, while players could experience longer waits and a release slate shaped by risk management rather than breadth.
