The galaxy far, far away is expanding into new gaming territory. Several major new Star Wars games have been announced for the coming years, spanning action-adventure, strategy, racing, and narrative-driven experiences. While concrete release dates remain sparse, the pipeline for 2025 and 2026 includes titles that will explore eras like the High Republic and the Old Republic, and features studios such as Quantic Dream, Respawn Entertainment, and Fuse Games.
After years of exclusivity with Electronic Arts, Lucasfilm Games has opened its licensing to multiple publishers, resulting in a diverse slate of projects. The most anticipated among them is Star Wars Eclipse, but other titles like Star Wars: Zero Company and Star Wars: Galactic Racer are also on the horizon. This guide breaks down everything officially known about each game, including release windows, platforms, and key features.
Because many of these projects are still in early development, the information below reflects what has been confirmed by official sources or widely reported by reputable gaming outlets. Uncertainty is noted where applicable.
What new Star Wars games have been announced?
As of early 2026, four major titles have been publicly confirmed. The following table provides a quick overview of each game’s developer, genre, release status, and target platforms.
| Game | Developer | Genre | Release Status | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Star Wars Eclipse | Quantic Dream | Action-adventure, branching narrative | TBD (likely 2026+) | PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC |
| Star Wars: Zero Company | Bit Reactor + Respawn Entertainment | Strategy / tactical | TBD | PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S |
| Star Wars: Galactic Racer | Fuse Games | Racing | Announced Dec 2025, no date | PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC |
| Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic / KOTOR remake | Saber Interactive (handoff) | RPG (remake) | Confirmed in development | PS5, PC |
Key insights from the announcement slate:
- Multiple studios are now contributing to the Star Wars gaming universe following the end of EA’s exclusivity agreement.
- The announced titles cover distinct genres – action, strategy, racing, and narrative – avoiding direct competition with each other.
- Only Star Wars Eclipse has been shown in official trailers, with two cinematic reveals so far.
- No confirmed release dates exist for any of the four titles, indicating extended development cycles.
- Open-world experiences remain a key trend, but currently only Star Wars Outlaws (already launched) offers that format; the upcoming games may not follow the same model.
- Current-generation consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) are the standard target for all new announcements, with no PS4 versions confirmed.

When are the new Star Wars games releasing?
Release dates are the most sought-after information, and unfortunately the least available. None of the four confirmed titles have a firm launch window. However, based on developer statements and industry reporting, some estimates can be made.
All dates below are speculative unless otherwise linked to an official source. Lucasfilm Games has not announced any specific release year for upcoming titles as of early 2026.
Star Wars Eclipse release date
No official release date has been announced. The game was first revealed in December 2021 and a second cinematic trailer appeared at The Game Awards 2024. Development is ongoing at Quantic Dream, with reports of hiring challenges and engine work. Most analysts expect a release no earlier than late 2026 or 2027.
Star Wars: Zero Company release date
This strategy/tactical game from Bit Reactor and Respawn Entertainment is in development but no date has been given. Given that it was announced more recently and is a new IP within the genre, a 2027 window is plausible but unconfirmed. Platforms have been listed as PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer release date
Announced in December 2025 by developer Fuse Games, this racing title is the only one with a “to be confirmed 2026” mention in early reports. However, the official Star Wars channels have not yet confirmed a year. The project is described as “officially announced” but with little public visibility.
Fate of the Old Republic / KOTOR remake release date
The long-discussed Knights of the Old Republic remake, now attached to Saber Interactive, is still in development. Saber confirmed in 2024 that the project is “alive and well” after earlier rumors of cancellation. No release window has been shared, and it is widely considered a multi-year undertaking.
Confirmed 2025 releases
No major new Star Wars game launched in 2025 (beyond the previously released Star Wars Outlaws, which arrived in 2024). The next new game is expected no earlier than 2026.
Which new Star Wars games are open world?
Open-world design is a popular trend in modern gaming, but among the announced Star Wars titles, only one currently delivers that experience.
Star Wars Eclipse open world status
Quantic Dream has not officially described Eclipse as open world. The studio is known for linear, branching-narrative games like Detroit: Become Human. The game may feature large explorable areas, but calling it open world would be speculative at this point.
Star Wars: Zero Company open world potential
As a strategy/tactical title, Zero Company is unlikely to be open world. Bit Reactor’s portfolio suggests turn-based or real-time tactical gameplay, not sandbox exploration.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer open world
No. This is a racing game, likely track-based or circuit-focused, not open world.
Existing open world Star Wars games
The only current open-world Star Wars game is Star Wars Outlaws (2024), developed by Massive Entertainment. It remains the benchmark for open-world design in the franchise. For an in-depth review, see our Star Wars Outlaws Review.
According to the official Star Wars Games Portal, Outlaws is the only game in the current announced lineup described as “open world.” Eclipse may feature large levels, but Quantic Dream has not confirmed the term.
What platforms will new Star Wars games support?
Platform availability is a key factor for many players. The trend is clearly toward current-generation consoles and PC. No PS4 or Xbox One versions have been announced for any upcoming title.
Star Wars Eclipse platforms
Confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC during its reveal. An Xbox version was later added to official marketing. No last-gen support is planned.
Star Wars: Zero Company platforms
Officially listed for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Given Respawn’s track record, a PC release alongside consoles is expected.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer platforms
Confirmed for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The developer Fuse Games has not mentioned PS4 or Nintendo Switch.
Fate of the Old Republic platforms
Currently only confirmed for PS5 and PC. Xbox availability, if any, has not been announced. The remake’s exclusivity terms are unclear.
Are any new games coming to PS4?
None of the four major upcoming Star Wars games have been announced for PlayStation 4. The shift to current-gen hardware appears complete.
While most titles are expected on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, no official platform list exists for Zero Company or Fate of the Old Republic. Always verify against the publisher’s final announcement.
What is Star Wars Eclipse and why is it important?
Star Wars Eclipse is a narrative action-adventure game developed by Quantic Dream, the studio behind Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. It is one of the first major Star Wars titles following Disney’s new licensing strategy and the first time Quantic Dream has worked on a licensed IP.
Developer and studio
Quantic Dream is a French studio known for its cinematic, choice-driven games. The company was acquired by NetEase in 2022. Star Wars Eclipse Official Site confirms their involvement.
Gameplay and setting
Set in the High Republic era – centuries before the Skywalker saga – Eclipse features multiple playable characters whose choices shape the story. It is not yet confirmed whether the world is open, but the game emphasizes branching narrative over free exploration.
Announcement and trailers
Eclipse was first revealed at The Game Awards 2021 with a cinematic trailer. A second trailer debuted at The Game Awards 2024, showing additional characters and environments. No gameplay footage has been released to date.
Significance
Eclipse represents a major step for both Quantic Dream and the Star Wars franchise. It marks the first narrative-driven, multiple-protagonist game in the galaxy far, far away. Its development is being closely watched as a barometer for Lucasfilm’s expanded gaming strategy.
Timeline of announcements and expected releases
The following timeline outlines key events related to the upcoming Star Wars games, based on official reveals and widely reported milestones.
- December 2021 – Star Wars Eclipse announced at The Game Awards.
- 2023–2024 – Star Wars Outlaws released (existing open-world title).

|---|---|

| Star Wars: Galactic Racer is announced for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S | Whether Star Wars: Zero Company and Fate of the Old Republic are final titles or codenames |

Why this slate matters for the franchise
The current lineup reflects Lucasfilm’s strategy to diversify its gaming portfolio after the end of the EA exclusivity deal. By working with multiple studios – Quantic Dream, Bit Reactor, Respawn, Fuse Games, and Saber Interactive – Disney aims to reach different gamer segments. The High Republic era (Eclipse) and Old Republic (Fate) show a focus on lesser-explored timelines, while the racing genre addition (Galactic Racer) indicates an effort to cover non-traditional experiences.
However, the lack of concrete release dates suggests that many projects are still in early development. Fans should not expect a major Star Wars game launch before at least late 2026. The new Star Wars games for 2025–2026 will likely be led by Galactic Racer if its TBC 2026 window holds, while Star Wars: Zero Company could follow shortly after if development accelerates.
Where to find official updates and background
For the most reliable information, consult Lucasfilm’s official channels and established gaming media. The Official Star Wars Games Portal lists all current and upcoming titles. The Wikipedia List of Star Wars Games provides a comprehensive historical overview. Respawn Entertainment’s official site may carry updates on Zero Company.
Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse site remains the only dedicated game page for an upcoming title, though it offers no release date or gameplay details at this time.
Summary: What’s next for Star Wars gaming?
The future of Star Wars video games is rich with promise but short on firm dates. Four major titles are in development, covering strategy, racing, narrative, and an RPG remake. The only title with a possible 2026 release window is Star Wars: Galactic Racer, while Eclipse, Zero Company, and the KOTOR remake remain further out. Fans should monitor official Lucasfilm Games announcements and major events like The Game Awards for future updates. Pre-order information typically surfaces within six months of a confirmed release date.
