Star Wars Games Primed to Continue Hot Streak with ‘Surprise’ Titles

Lucasfilm says it is working with a wider range of game developers, including both large and small partners, on Star Wars projects that could surprise players when announced. The comments come as recent releases Zero Company and Galactic Racer have been well received, suggesting the franchise can thrive with games beyond its familiar action-adventure format.

Lucasfilm executive Douglas Reilly said the company still expects a high quality bar and typically favours teams with a record of strong work. Zero Company, released in late August 2026, was the debut project from Bit Reactor, whose team includes developers with experience on XCOM 2; Galactic Racer was the first game from Fuse Games, led by veterans of Burnout and Need for Speed. Other announced projects include a third Star Wars Jedi game and Fate of the Old Republic, while the article questions whether long-running projects such as Eclipse and the Knights of the Old Republic remake are part of the newer initiative.
