According to a recent rumor, a new Star Wars the game could be announced at The Game Awards this year, and it isn't Star Wars Zero Company or Star Wars Eclipse. The rumor comes from @Kurakasis via a post on XCancel, which was then shared in a post on Reddit by user TomorrowComes33. Currently, there is no hint as to which Star Wars the game is, just what it isn't, and that's as much a guarantee that it'll appear at The Game Awards 2025 as the rumor is actually true. Still some signs of a new Star Wars title could be on the way is enough to stir the excitement of franchise fans and make them anticipate what's coming next.
With both Star Wars Zero Company and Star Wars Eclipse out of the picture, according to the rumor, limiting the announcement to a handful of titles that could do with some kind of announcement to get the hype train rolling. Right now, these games are Respawn's third Star Wars Jedi installment, the Knights of the Old Republic remake currently in development by Saber Interactive, and an untitled action-adventure game by Amy Hennig. Based on the timing of the upcoming Game Awards ceremony and the status of these titles, any of them could receive an announcement. Furthermore, Kurakasis stated that the announcement would happen “very soon” and made no mention of The Game Awards. However, there would be no better time or place for this announcement to be made, so it is expected to happen at the ceremony, should the rumor turn out to be true.

Why it could be Respawn's Star Wars Jedi 3
About the rumor that a new Star Wars the game will be announced very soon ends true, the most likely candidate is the third part in Respawn Entertainments Star Wars Jedi series. It was confirmed to be in development during Electronic Arts' Investor Day presentation on September 17, 2024, and enough time has passed since Star Wars Jedi: Survivor that an early tease of the third entry wouldn't be surprising. A short film or a title reveal would be more than enough to at least announce a release window, especially since the series has become one of the most consistently successful Star Wars game project in recent years.
It is worth noting that 4 years passed between the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivorand if it holds up for the next entry, it won't be until at least 2027, since the second installment launched in 2023. That being said, the first teaser for Jedi: Survivor was revealed almost a full year before the game's release, so it's possible that the third and final installment could get a brief teaser with a potential announcement in late 2026 or early 2027 at this year's Game Awards.
Why it could be the knights of the old republic remake
Another precursor to the rumored announcement is Knights of the Old Republic remake. It's far from a secret now that the development of the remake has been laborious and updates have been few and far between since its initial reveal in 2021. As such, a formal relaunch of the game is undoubtedly in order, and a new trailer would immediately rekindle hope that it is actually happening as Saber says it is. Considering how long the remake has been dormant, any confirmation that it's still moving forward as planned would qualify as a major announcement.
Why it could be Amy Hennig's untitled Star Wars game
There's also the untitled action-adventure game from Amy Hennig's team at Skydance New Media that could get an announcement at this year's Game Awards ceremony. So far, nothing has been shown for the game, and such projects have long periods of silence, sometimes waiting for high-profile shows like the Game Awards to reveal themselves. As Hennig is widely regarded as one of the most respected creative directors and narrative designers in the gaming industry, her upcoming Star Wars the game naturally has a high level of anticipation that would befit a major announcement.
Of course, this is all pure speculation based on a rumor, so fans should temper their expectations. Rumors like this have been known to be false, especially when it comes to major gaming awards. Even so, the idea that a Star Wars game could be on the horizon is undoubtedly exciting for fans to consider.
