We already knew another Star Wars Jedi game was in the works at developer Respawn Entertainment, but EA has now confirmed it’ll be the “final chapter” in Cal Kestis’ saga.

Not-quite-official word of a third Star Wars Jedi game first surfaced last October when Cal Kestis actor Cameron Monaghan told fans, “We’re in the process of [making it] right now”. Formal confirmation of its development then followed this February, shared as part of a projects update in the aftermath of significant layoffs at EA.

Now, though, speaking during EA’s latest Investor Day presentation, the company’s president of entertainment and technology, Laura Miele, has shared the first bit of solid information on Star Wars Jedi’s third instalment, confirming it to be the last. “Over 40 million Star Wars fans have connected with Cal Kestis and his arc of becoming a powerful Jedi,” Miele said. “Respawn is working hard to bring the final chapter of this thrilling story to players.”
