With the EA deal coming to a close and Lucasfilm Games making a resurgence, there is theoretically no limit to the number of new Star Wars games coming out in the near future. EA, while lacking exclusive rights, can still make Star Wars games; in fact, it's assumed the company will make a sequel to Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and develop Star Wars: Battlefront 3 , though no such official announcement has been made.
However, Jedi Fallen Order 2 has essentially been confirmed by EA earlier this year, and it makes sense, given how the first game was a critical and commercial success. Fortunately for fans, amid these rumors, there are several upcoming Star Wars games confirmed to be in development already. Ubisoft's studio Massive Entertainment is helming the project, and since it's in the early stages, not much is yet known about the game at this point.
Massive Entertainment's creative director Julian Gerighty has confirmed it will be a story-driven experience and will be built using Ubisoft's Snowdrop engine. It's not clear when Ubisoft's Star Wars game will launch, but given the time needed to make a game of this caliber, coupled with the two years remaining on EA's exclusivity contract, it's unlikely a release will happen before Star Wars: Hunters is an upcoming combat game from Zynga.
