The Star Wars gaming universe is about to get bigger. Reliable industry insider Kurakasis dropped a tease that has the gaming community buzzing. A big Star Wars game announcement is coming very soon, and he made it clear this has nothing to do with Star Wars: Zero Company or Star Wars Eclipse. That leaves the door wide open for something major, and fans have two primary guesses: Star Wars Jedi 3 or a resurrection of the seemingly dead Knights of the Old Republic Remake.
What Kurakasis Actually Said
Kurakasis has built a reputation as a reliable source for gaming leaks and insider information. His post was short but loaded with implications. By specifically ruling out Zero Company and Eclipse, he signaled that whatever is coming is bigger than those projects. Zero Company is a tactical shooter set in the Clone Wars era, while Eclipse is Quantic Dream’s long-in-development story game. Both are notable, but neither would qualify as a “big” announcement at this point.
The timing strongly suggests The Game Awards 2025 on December 11 as the venue. Geoff Keighley has been teasing major reveals for weeks, and Star Wars announcements have historically performed well at the show. If not The Game Awards, then a dedicated Disney or Lucasfilm Games showcase could be in the works for the coming days.
The Case for Star Wars Jedi 3
Most fans believe this announcement is Star Wars Jedi 3, the next chapter in Respawn Entertainment’s critically acclaimed series. Here’s why that theory holds water:
- Respawn confirmed in 2022 that a third Jedi game was in development
- The title was reportedly in active development as early as mid-2023
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched in April 2023, giving the team over two years of development time
- EA typically spaces major releases with reveals at least a year before launch
- A teaser trailer would align perfectly with The Game Awards’ format
Cal Kestis has become one of the most popular Star Wars protagonists in recent memory. His story arc across Fallen Order and Survivor has captivated millions of players. A third game could potentially wrap up his trilogy or set up an even larger narrative scope.
The KOTOR Remake Wild Card
A smaller but passionate group of fans is hoping for something even more unexpected: the resurrection of the Knights of the Old Republic Remake. This project was announced in 2021 but has been through development hell. Original developer Aspyr was removed from the project in 2022 after internal issues, and the remake was shifted to Saber Interactive.
Since then, silence. Many assumed the project was quietly cancelled. But recent rumblings suggest the game may have survived. If Lucasfilm Games decided to officially reintroduce the remake with a fresh trailer showing Saber’s work, it would absolutely qualify as a “big” announcement. KOTOR is considered one of the greatest RPGs ever made, and a proper remake would generate massive hype.
The original KOTOR won Game of the Year from IGN, GameSpot, and numerous other outlets when it launched in 2003. A modern remake has been a fan demand for over a decade.
What About Other Possibilities?
While Jedi 3 and KOTOR are the frontrunners, other options exist. Respawn also has a Star Wars FPS in development, led by industry veteran Peter Hirschmann. That project was announced in 2022 but hasn’t been shown publicly. A dedicated first-person shooter in the Star Wars universe would definitely count as big news.
There’s also the outside chance of something completely unexpected. Lucasfilm Games has partnered with multiple studios in recent years, and a new collaboration could be revealed. An open-world game from a major studio, a new MMO, or even a surprise from a developer nobody saw coming would all qualify as major announcements.
Lucasfilm Games’ Expanding Strategy
The Star Wars gaming landscape has shifted dramatically since Lucasfilm ended EA’s exclusivity deal. While EA still produces major titles like the Jedi series, other publishers and developers now have access to the license. Ubisoft is working on an open-world Star Wars game. Quantic Dream has Eclipse. Various mobile and smaller titles have launched or been announced.
This expansion means Lucasfilm Games likely has multiple projects in various stages of development. A major reveal at The Game Awards would fit their strategy of keeping Star Wars games in the spotlight year-round. With Outlaws having launched in 2024 to decent reception, maintaining momentum into 2025 and beyond makes business sense.
When Will We Know More?
The Game Awards takes place on December 11, 2025. If Kurakasis is right about the timing, we’re looking at roughly one week until the announcement. Geoff Keighley typically drops hints in the days leading up to the show, so keep an eye on his social media for any Star Wars-related teases.
Of course, “very soon” doesn’t necessarily mean The Game Awards. A surprise trailer drop before the show or a dedicated Lucasfilm Games presentation could happen at any time. The gaming industry loves surprise announcements, and Star Wars has the brand power to generate headlines regardless of venue.
