Star Wars Jedi 3 Release Date Leak Points to 2027

A new leak claims that Star Wars Jedi 3 will launch in 2027, with marketing starting soon. It comes from a leaker called FivesWalker, who wrote that the game will arrive next year and that its marketing will begin sooner than people think, according to Screen Rant. The leaker said they would bet on a reveal before The Game Awards on December 10.

What Has Actually Been Confirmed

Treat it as a rumor. EA, Respawn and Lucasfilm Games have not confirmed any date, title or reveal window. The only confirmed fact is that Respawn is making a third game, and no title, platform, gameplay or release date has been announced. According to allthings.how, EA’s only official word came in September 2024, when it said Respawn is working on the third and final chapter of Cal Kestis’s story, and no plot, setting or antagonist has been verified since.

The unofficial working title has circulated widely. Beebom refers to the project as Star Wars Jedi: The Final Chapter, while allthings.how lists it as Star Wars Jedi 3 with the label of a working title. Neither name has been confirmed by the studio.

Notebookcheck notes that EA and Respawn have remained silent about the sequel, and PlayNews repeats that no platforms or title have been announced, even though EA has officially said the game will conclude Cal Kestis’s story and follows Survivor.

The Leaker and the Leak

FivesWalker is a relatively new account, but allthings.how reports that it has been credited with accurate details about Maul – Shadow Lord before they were reported elsewhere. The wording matters, according to Game Rant and PlayNews. FivesWalker states that the game will arrive in 2027 as a fact, but the timing of the first marketing is framed as a guess: the leaker said they would bet it begins even before The Game Awards, which PlayNews describes as a guess about the show rather than a date.

That distinction has been repeated in several write-ups. A report on Tech Insider notes that Game Rant is explicit that the Game Awards connection is interpretation, not fact, and allthings.how cautions that a reveal before the show need not mean a full trailer during the ceremony. The first sign, it says, could be a teaser, a social post or a press release in the preceding weeks, with a larger reveal arriving later.

Why 2027 Is Plausible

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order launched in 2019 and Jedi: Survivor in 2023, so a 2027 release would match Respawn’s usual four-year gap. Tech Insider lists the first game as a November 2019 release and PlayNews notes that Survivor came out in April 2023 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. PlayNews adds that a 2027 launch would represent four to five years of development, which it calls standard for a direct sequel.

Notebookcheck also notes that May 25, 2027 is the 50th anniversary of the original Star Wars release, although there is no sign the game will launch on that date. Earlier this year, rumors pointed to a 2026 launch, but no game has been revealed. A March 2026 report from Players suggested that the third game could arrive in late 2026, while the new leak points to 2027 instead.

The Calendar Leading to December 10

The Game Awards is set for December 10, 2026, according to Notebookcheck and Metro as summarized by Tech Insider. Allthings.how counts roughly ten weeks between the leak’s publication and the ceremony and notes that there is precedent for a Respawn appearance at the show, while PlayNews says the leaker’s guess leaves roughly two months for a reveal. Until Respawn or EA say something, PlayNews concludes, 2027 remains a rumor.

Why The Game Awards Keeps Coming Up

Tech Insider notes that big single-player franchises have used the show as a launchpad for years, partly because it guarantees a live audience of millions and partly because it lets a publisher control the narrative around a reveal instead of having details leak out piecemeal. The same report adds that publishers routinely decline to comment on unannounced titles regardless of whether a leak is accurate, which is consistent with the silence from EA and Respawn so far.

How Outlets Have Covered It

Coverage has varied in tone. Notebookcheck’s headline says the game could be announced sooner than expected, Game Rant reports a 2027 target based on FivesWalker’s post on X, and ComicBook.com describes a report indicating the release date is quite close. German outlet PlayCentral frames the game as the finale of the trilogy that began with Fallen Order and says fans could learn within months how Respawn plans to end Cal’s story if the marketing really begins before the awards show.

Cal’s Story So Far

Cameron Monaghan is expected to return as Cal Kestis, according to Notebookcheck. Jedi: Survivor ended with a number of storylines open, and the third game is expected to be the conclusion of Cal’s story. The series follows Cal, a Jedi Padawan who is trying to complete his training while being hunted by the Imperial Inquisitors, according to Notebookcheck, and allthings.how says his return would fit the trilogy structure but remains an expectation rather than confirmed casting.

Other story details come only from older and unverified leaks. Allthings.how reports that a Reddit leak claimed the story would follow Cal raising a daughter alongside Kata while wrestling with the Dark Side, with a double-blaster stance and moral choices during the campaign, and Players described the same claims in March. Neither claim has been confirmed by EA or Respawn.

Respawn’s Place at EA

Respawn said it remained committed to the game after EA cancelled two other early-stage projects in 2025, Gamer Rant reports. The studio has said the project is alive, but it has not shown any footage or named a platform.
