Disney and Lucasfilm Games have opened the floodgates for games set in the galaxy far, far away by liberating the Star Wars license from its exclusivity deal with EA and the results are already kicking in, providing a starving fan base with some great video games to play. Whatever you think of the movies or streaming shows, Star Wars’ massive universe offers space for all kinds of stories and adventures, told in whatever form and genre you can imagine.

Games, of course, are one of the most entertaining ways to immerse yourself in this epic space opera and there are currently quite a number of them in development across many different studios. Here’s an overview of every Star Wars game being developed in 2024.

Knights of the Old Republic Remake

  • Release Date: TBA
  • Platforms: PC, PS5
  • Developer: Saber Interactive

This highly anticipated remake of one of the best RPGs of all time has been plagued with a host of issues during development, which led publisher Embracer Group to relieve the original developer Aspyr of the project. Instead, KOTOR Remake is now being worked on by Saber Interactive.

Sony even removed official marketing materials for the game from its channels, which cast further doubts on the fate of the project.

However, after the amicable divorce between Saber Interactive and Embracer Group, Saber’s CEO stated that KOTOR Remake is “alive and well” at the studio, indicating that development is ongoing.

Star Wars Eclipse

  • Release Date: TBA
  • Platforms: TBA
  • Developer: Quantic Dream

Announced with a jaw-droppingly beautiful cinematic trailer at The Game Awards 2021, Star Wars Eclipse is a story-focused and decision-driven game from the developers of Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. The project was announced in its very early stages, which means that we are likely years away from its release. Eclipse is set in the High Republic era, a time featuring the Jedi Order and the Republic at the height of their power.

Untitled Star Wars strategy game

  • Release Date: TBA
  • Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S
  • Developer: Bit Reactor

Respawn Entertainment also has its fingers in this project, acting as producer. Bit Reactor is a new studio consisting of many former Firaxis members, the developer of XCOM and Sid Meier's Civilization. Bit Reactor explicitly declared the creation of turn-based XCOM-like games as its goal, making it likely that the untitled strategy game will be inspired by the icon of the genre. In addition, remarks by the game director strongly indicate that the game will come to PC as well as consoles.

Untitled Star Wars action-adventure game

  • Release Date: TBA
  • Platforms: TBA
  • Developer: Skydance New Media

Legendary writer Amy Hennig and Skydance New Media also jumped on the Star Wars train, working on an action-adventure game. This is Hennig’s second chance to write a story in the Star Wars universe after Visceral Games’ Project Ragtag, which she authored, was canceled several years ago.

Star Wars Jedi 3

  • Release Date: TBA
  • Platforms: TBA
  • Developer: Respawn Entertainment

A third entry into the Star Wars Jedi series has been confirmed, concluding the story of Cal Kestis from Fallen Order and Survivor.

It’s still early days for a lot of these projects, which means Star Wars fans are likely in for a bit of a drought when it comes to game releases for the time being.

2024 also saw a reduction in active projects: Respawn's first-person shooter led by Peter Hirschmann, a veteran of the original Battlefront games at Pandemic, has unfortunately been canceled in the wake of massive layoffs at EA.
