<p><strong>Release date:</strong> Aug. 27, 2026</p>
<p><strong>Platforms:</strong> PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series X</p>
<p><em>Star Wars: Zero Company</em> took center stage at Summer Game Fest on June 5, debuting a fresh trailer and confirming an August 27 release. The footage provided our most comprehensive look yet at the title’s turn-based, XCOM-inspired combat. Notably, the trailer concluded with a brief appearance by Anakin Skywalker, though it remains to be seen whether he is merely a cameo or a pivotal player in the narrative.</p>
<p>Developed by the joint effort of Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment, the project has been in the works since early 2022. With creative director Greg Foertsch—a veteran of the Firaxis XCOM series—at the helm, the game promises deep tactical layers. Set during the Clone Wars, the story follows an underdog squad, the titular Zero Company, on high-stakes missions for the Republic.</p>
<p>Early impressions from <a href="https://www.pcgamer.com/games/strategy/star-wars-zero-company-is-more-than-just-star-wars-xcom-it-feels-like-mass-effect-but-with-turn-based-tactics-and-permadeath/" target="_blank">PC Gamer</a> describe it as "<em>Mass Effect</em> meets turn-based tactics," highlighting a blend of base-building, character-driven social interactions, and high-stakes permadeath, where battle injuries carry permanent consequences for your squad.</p>

<h2 id="star-wars-galactic-racer">Star Wars: Galactic Racer</h2>
<p><strong>Release date:</strong> Oct. 6, 2026</p>
<p><strong>Platforms:</strong> PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series X</p>
<p>Also making a splash at Summer Game Fest was <em>Star Wars: Galactic Racer</em>. Its latest story trailer offered a glimpse into the diverse and cutthroat roster of racers you’ll encounter in the Outer Rim. For those uninterested in the narrative journey, a dedicated Arcade mode provides immediate access to the series' trademark high-speed pod racing.</p>
<p>Announced at the 2025 Game Awards, <em>Galactic Racer</em> marks the debut for Fuse Games, a studio comprised of talent previously behind the <em>Burnout</em> and <em>Need for Speed</em> franchises. The game centers on your ascent through the "Galactic League," an underground racing circuit. Expect deep customization for your repulsorcraft and intense multiplayer competition. A collector’s edition, featuring a detailed landspeeder model, has also been confirmed.</p>

<h2 id="star-wars-eclipse">Star Wars: Eclipse</h2>
<p><strong>Release window:</strong> TBA</p>
<p><strong>Platforms:</strong> TBA</p>
<p>First teased at the 2021 Game Awards, <em>Star Wars: Eclipse</em> remains a distant prospect. Quantic Dream, the studio behind narrative-driven titles like <em>Detroit: Become Human</em>, is crafting a choice-heavy epic set in the High Republic era. While the project has faced significant hurdles—including public outcry regarding studio leadership and the departure of its lead writer in 2024—the developer has insisted that work continues.</p>
<p>Recent reports suggest the game is still in the early stages of production. Even with the studio’s recent decision to sunset other projects and reorganize internally, internal updates suggest we are likely years away from seeing the final product.</p>

<h2 id="star-wars-fate-of-the-old-republic">Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic</h2>
<p><strong>Release window:</strong> TBA</p>
<p><strong>Platforms:</strong> TBA</p>
<p>The most recent reveal in the Star Wars gaming canon, <em>Fate of the Old Republic</em>, serves as a spiritual successor to the legendary <em>Knights of the Old Republic</em> series. Led by Casey Hudson, the visionary behind the <em>Mass Effect</em> trilogy, the game aims to modernize the classic CRPG formula with contemporary tech and deep player agency.</p>
<p>While rumors swirled that the game might not surface until 2030, Hudson has clarified that the team is targeting an earlier release. Fans of deep, narrative-heavy role-playing should keep a close watch on this one as it promises a definitive experience that echoes the soul of the original <em>KOTOR</em>.</p>

<h2 id="star-wars-jedi-3">Star Wars Jedi 3</h2>
<p><strong>Release window:</strong> TBA</p>
<p><strong>Platforms:</strong> TBA</p>
<p>Following the critical acclaim of <em>Fallen Order</em> and <em>Survivor</em>, Respawn is officially concluding Cal Kestis’ journey with a third and final chapter. Announced in 2024, the title is currently in active development. With the series director Stig Asmussen moving on to new ventures, the studio is now tasked with providing a fitting end to a story arc that has become a pillar of modern Star Wars gaming. Given the setting’s proximity to the Jedi Purge, speculation regarding the protagonist's ultimate fate is already running high.</p>

<h2 id="star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-mdash-remake">Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic — Remake</h2>
<p><strong>Release window:</strong> TBA</p>
<p><strong>Platforms:</strong> PlayStation 5, Windows PC</p>
<p>The highly anticipated remake of the RPG classic <em>Knights of the Old Republic</em> has had a turbulent development history. After shifting from Aspyr to Saber Interactive, reports from late 2025 indicated that Mad Head Games is now spearheading the project. Updates have been notoriously sparse, with Saber Interactive’s creative lead offering only a brief confirmation that the game remains in active development.</p>

<h2 id="untitled-skydance-new-media-star-wars-game">Untitled Skydance New Media Star Wars Game</h2>
<p><strong>Release window:</strong> TBA</p>
<p><strong>Platforms:</strong> TBA</p>
<p>Helmed by Amy Hennig, the veteran creative force behind the <em>Uncharted</em> series, this cinematic action-adventure project was first announced in 2022. While early rumors suggested it might be a reimagining of her canceled "Project Ragtag," little has been officially revealed. Currently, the team appears to be prioritizing their work on <em>Marvel 1943: The Rise of Hydra</em>, with the Star Wars project taking a backseat as the studio adopts a "one-at-a-time" development philosophy.</p>
