Star Wars Jedi 3 and KOTOR Remake Target 2027 and 2028: Cal Kestis Finale and Saber's RPG Timeline Leaked
The Star Wars gaming universe is preparing for its most consequential expansion in years. With Lucasfilm Games actively diversifying its studio partnerships, release windows for two of its most anticipated flagship blockbusters have surfaced online.
According to insider FivesWalker, who has established a dependable track record regarding upcoming franchise developments, Star Wars Jedi 3 and the long-awaited Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake are slated for 2027 and 2028.
Cal Kestis Poised to Return for the Franchise's 50th Anniversary
The climactic third installment in Respawn Entertainment's saga is reportedly targeting a launch in late 2027. This window represents roughly four and a half years of development following the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in April 2023.
The 2027 date holds immense significance across the franchise. It directly coincides with the 50th anniversary of the original 1977 theatrical debut of A New Hope, offering Electronic Arts a marquee milestone to conclude Cal Kestis's journey.
Community leaks indicate an official reveal may happen sooner than expected, with a potential teaser lined up for Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards in December. Early production whispers suggest the narrative will follow an older, battle-hardened Cal navigating an increasingly perilous imperial era.
KOTOR Remake: Saber Interactive Looking at a 2028 Launch Window
The development trajectory of the Knights of the Old Republic Remake appears to have stabilized following substantial reorganization behind the scenes. Originally handled by Aspyr Media, the project was transferred to Saber Interactive and Mad Head Games to overhaul its technical foundation.
While initial online chatter floated a tentative late 2027 arrival, an early 2028 release now stands as the realistic benchmark. Saber Interactive Chief Business Officer Steve Allison previously indicated in company communications that the studio aims to include the remake in its 2028 roadmap.
Rebuilding BioWare's legendary role-playing classic demands uncompromising quality control, making an extended polish phase the sensible path for Saber.
A Renaissance for Single-Player Star Wars Campaigns
These roadmap projections underscore a sustained resurgence of premium single-player storytelling across Lucasfilm Games. Players have enthusiastically embraced this narrative renaissance, echoed recently by the breakout reception of Star Wars: Galactic Racer and the tactical depth of Star Wars Zero Company.
Fans now turn their eyes toward December, waiting to see whether Respawn officially steps forward to close Cal Kestis's heroic chapter.
