The are several exciting Star Wars projects on the way, and many of those are video games. With EA's exclusivity deal ending, multiple publishers and developers are working on the Star Wars series across several genres. These include everything from strategy games to first-person shooters, with the list of upcoming Star Wars games being so diverse that nearly everyone can find something they'll like.
There are reportedly plans for two new Star Wars games every fiscal year, with one being a larger AAA title and another being a smaller project. Some are years away, but others are coming much sooner, and with recent upgrades like Star Wars: Dark Forces Remastered, there is no shortage of Star Wars games to play. These are all the Star Wars games announced right now.
Respawn's Star Wars FPS
Announced alongside the Star Wars Jedi sequel, a new first-person shooter Star Wars game is also coming from Respawn Entertainment. Not much has been revealed about this game yet, but we do know Peter Hirschmann will serve as director. He previously worked on a huge number of Star Wars games, including the original LucasArts Battlefront titles, multiple Lego Star Wars games, and The Force Unleashed, as well as shooters like Metal of Honor and Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. We'd heard reports that the game will be based on The Mandalorian, but this has not been confirmed yet. We've also, unfortunately, heard reports that the game was canceled outright, but this has not been officially announced yet.
Bit Reactor's Star Wars strategy game
In development at the brand-new Bit Reactor studio, this Star Wars strategy game is one of three in-development Star Wars titles EA announced in January 2022. It's being made in collaboration with Respawn, and former XCOM art director Greg Foertsch leads the studio. With extensive work in turn-based tactics and hints on a job posting, the studio could head in that direction with Star Wars, but it remains unclear as of right now.
Star Wars Eclipse
An unexpected new game from Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human developer Quantic Dream, the upcoming Star Wars: Eclipse is set in the High Republic era. This is an unexplored period in Star Wars lore--at least for video games--and Quantic Dream's unique gameplay and narrative style could make it vastly different from other Star Wars games. The studio has been experiencing its own share of problems recently, however, with lawsuits alleging poor treatment, and it's not clear how far along Eclipse is.
Knights of the Old Republic remake
When it comes to acclaimed Star Wars games, you'll hear Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's name mentioned more than just about anything else. A full remake is currently in the works from port specialist Aspyr, and it's headed to both PS5 and PC. However, we've also heard the game is no longer in active development, so it's unclear if it will see the light of day.
EA's separate Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO is ongoing, but Knights of the Old Republic's story-focused single-player RPG style was riveting nearly two decades ago and should stand the test of time when the remake is ready to launch.
Star Wars: Hunters
Developed by Zynga, Star Wars: Hunters is another unique take on the franchise--but this time it's coming only to mobile devices and Nintendo Switch. A third-person arena action game, Star Wars: Hunters lets you play as a wide variety of character archetypes, including Stormtroopers, Jedi, and Wookies. A "Hunters of the Outer Rim" competition will run alongside the game, offering rewards for the most dedicated and skilled hunters in the galaxy.
Star Wars Outlaws
Following the end of EA's exclusivity period with the license, Ubisoft began developing the open-world Star Wars Outlaws at its Massive studio in Sweden. The third-person shooter takes place in between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, putting you in the boots of the criminal Kay Vess instead of yet another Jedi. The game also features classic dogfights in space as well as many planets to explore, and it's planned to launch in 2024.
Skydance New Media (Amy Hennig) Star Wars Project
Amy Hennig, best known for her work on the Uncharted series, has a new studio called Skydance New Media that has already landed some big projects with Disney. Aside from a Marvel game, the studio is set to make game set in the Star Wars universe. Described as a cinematic action-adventure with an original story, this will be Skydance's second announced project, after a Marvel game that debuted at the 2022 D23 expo.
