New Star Wars Game – Complete Guide to All Upcoming Releases

The galaxy far, far away is preparing for a wave of new interactive adventures. Between 2025 and 2026, several major Star Wars game projects are moving through development, ranging from a confirmed racing title to long-awaited narrative epics. While some release dates are firm, many details remain unconfirmed or tied to rumours.

The current slate of announced games is unusually diverse. Lucasfilm and its partner studios are working on titles that span racing, tactical strategy, and action-adventure genres. However, for fans seeking clarity, the landscape is mixed: one game has a concrete launch date, while others, like the highly anticipated Star Wars Eclipse, remain shrouded in uncertainty.

This guide breaks down everything known about the upcoming releases, including confirmed facts, areas of speculation, and what players can realistically expect.

Important context

The list above includes only games that have been officially announced or widely reported by reliable sources like StarWars.com and Polygon. Titles marked as “rumoured” (such as Fate of the Old Republic prior to its 2025 announcement) are now confirmed but still early in development.

When are the new Star Wars games releasing?

Release dates for the upcoming Star Wars games are a mix of confirmed and speculative information. The only title with a firm launch date is Star Wars: Galactic Racer, set for October 6, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, as confirmed by StarWars.com.

Star Wars Zero Company is officially targeted for a 2026 release, according to StarWars.com. It is being developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Electronic Arts and Lucasfilm Games, and is described as a single-player turn-based tactics game set during the twilight of the Clone Wars. No exact date has been provided.

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was announced at The Game Awards 2025. Player response was described as strong. However, the game is believed to be in early development, and no release window has been shared.

Star Wars Eclipse remains the most enigmatic. First revealed in 2021, the Quantic Dream title has no release date. Speculation in the gaming press suggests a window of 2027 to 2030. The game has not been cancelled despite reports of hiring difficulties and engine-related challenges.

How to follow release updates

The best way to stay informed is to monitor official channels: Lucasfilm Games, the individual developer studios, and major gaming publications. Announcements often surface during events like The Game Awards, Summer Game Fest, and Disney’s own showcases. For the most reliable information, always look for official confirmations rather than unverified leaks.

What level of certainty surrounds each title?

Not all announcements carry equal weight. Some games have been formally unveiled with trailers and developer details, while others exist only as brief teases. Understanding where each project stands helps set realistic expectations.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is the most concrete release on the horizon. With a specific date, platform list, and developer attachment, it is the safest bet for fans eager to play something new in the near term. Star Wars Zero Company is similarly well-defined, with a clear genre description and a confirmed development team, though it lacks a precise launch day.

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic sits at an earlier stage. Its announcement at The Game Awards 2025 generated excitement, but the absence of a studio name and any gameplay footage suggests a lengthy development cycle lies ahead. Star Wars Eclipse, meanwhile, has been public for years without a release window, making it the hardest to predict.

What do the developers say?

Quantic Dream has remained largely silent about Eclipse since its reveal, aside from occasional assurances that the project is still alive. Industry insiders have pointed to the studio’s ambition to deliver a truly branching narrative set in the High Republic era, but technical hurdles and hiring challenges have slowed progress.

Bit Reactor’s team has been more forthcoming about Zero Company, describing it as a spiritual successor to classic turn-based tactics games like XCOM, but with a distinctly Star Wars flavour. The studio has emphasised that the game will be a single-player experience with no live-service elements.

Fuse Games, the studio behind Galactic Racer, has a track record with racing titles and has promised a fast-paced, arcade-style experience that draws on the franchise’s rich history of speeder bikes and podracing. Early previews have been positive.

What should players expect overall?

The next two years represent a pivotal moment for Star Wars gaming. After a period dominated by a handful of major releases, the pipeline is broadening into multiple genres and eras. Players who enjoy tactical depth, narrative choice, or simply high-speed competition will find something to anticipate.

That said, patience remains essential. Only one game has a confirmed release date, and several high-profile projects are still in early development. The gap between announcement and launch can stretch to five years or more, as Eclipse has already demonstrated.

For those eager to explore the galaxy sooner, Star Wars Outlaws (released in 2024) offers an open-world experience set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It remains the most recent major single-player release and is available on current-gen platforms.
