Fans waiting for the next Star Wars Jedi game now have an important detail about what lies ahead for Cal Kestis. Electronic Arts has confirmed that the third instalment will be the final chapter of his story, bringing the character's journey to a close after two successful games.
Respawn Entertainment is developing the upcoming title. EA Entertainment and Technology president Laura Miele shared the update during the company's Investor Day presentation. She also revealed that more than 40 million players have experienced Cal's journey so far, showing how popular the franchise has become since its debut in 2019.
The first game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, introduced players to Cal, a young Jedi trying to survive after the Empire's destruction of the Jedi Order. The story continued in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, where he faced new threats while dealing with the personal cost of fighting the Empire.
Now, the third game is expected to tie together the events of both titles. EA has not shared any story details, so exactly how Cal's journey will end remains a mystery.

The idea of making three games was discussed long before EA's latest confirmation. Stig Asmussen, who directed the first two titles before leaving Respawn in 2023, had previously spoken about wanting to tell Cal's story across a trilogy.
That original plan now appears to be moving towards its conclusion. For players who have followed the character from his first appearance, the next instalment could be an emotional send-off rather than another open-ended adventure.

There is still plenty EA has not revealed. The company has yet to announce the game's official title, release date, platforms or gameplay footage. Respawn is also keeping the plot under wraps. Until more information arrives, fans will have to wait to see which characters return and what challenges Cal faces in his final adventure.
One thing is now clear: Star Wars Jedi 3 is not intended to begin another chapter in Cal's story. It is meant to finish the one that started with Fallen Order.
