Third Star Wars Jedi game is reportedly ‘far in development’ at EA with Battlefront 3 still in the earliest stages
Respawn’s third Star Wars Jedi game is reportedly well advanced in development, according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier. It could conclude the series, though EA has not officially announced the game or confirmed its plans.
Schreier said Battlefront 3 has not started development, despite reports that EA sees a new Battlefront as a lower-risk investment. The article suggests the Jedi game may be revealed at The Game Awards on 10 December, but that is speculation; it also notes renewed interest in Battlefront 2.
In short
- Jedi 3 is reportedly far along in development.
- Battlefront 3 has reportedly not started.
- A possible awards-show reveal is speculation.
Explained simply
Respawn Entertainment is a video game studio owned by Electronic Arts (EA), which publishes games set in the Star Wars universe. Its Jedi series follows Cal Kestis, a young Jedi trying to survive after the Empire’s rise, in story-driven action games.
EA also publishes Star Wars Battlefront, a separate series focused on large battles involving soldiers, vehicles and characters from the films. The games sit within a wider Star Wars franchise owned by Disney, and each new release is shaped by decisions made by both the studio and its publisher.
The two series represent different kinds of Star Wars games: one centres on a continuing individual story, while the other recreates large-scale combat. Their development progress matters to players and to EA’s plans for future Star Wars releases.
