Although the ending of the Jedi action game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor from Respawn Entertainment directly hinted at the possibility of a continuation, fans of the franchise had to wait almost a year and a half for its official confirmation.

The fact that Respawn is planning a threequel was evidenced by vacancies in the team, and also by actor Cameron Monaghan, who played Jedi Cal Castis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor.
EA Entertainment President Laura Miele, as part of a presentation for Electronic Arts investors – Investor Day 2024, for the first time officially confirmed Respawn’s plans for the third part.
«More than 40 million Star Wars fans have joined Cal Custis on his journey to becoming a powerful Jedi. Respawn is working hard to bring players the final chapter of this compelling story,” Mealey said.

Thus, the total audience of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has reached 40 million players. This figure does not equal net sales, since both projects were, among other things, available via Game Pass subscription.
As for financial success, at Investor Day 2024 it became known that the total sales of Electronic Arts games based on Star Wars, including the Star Wars Jedi duology, reached $5 billion.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was released on April 28, 2023 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and reached PS4 and Xbox One on September 17, 2024. The completion of the trilogy was left without a director – Stig Asmussen left EA last fall.
