A return to that galaxy far, far away just got a little more distant, as EA has stated that no newStar Warsgames from its development teams will be on show at next week’s EA Play Live showcase event.

Set to reveal the latest and greatest from EA, the company has confirmed that Star Wars titles will be absent, be that the in-developmentJedi Fallen Order 2, or the long-rumoredStar Wars Knights of the Old Republicremake.

We won’t be showing any new Star Wars games at EA Play Live on July 22nd…but all of us look forward to celebrating with you next year when we share our vision for the Galaxy far, far away!July 15, 2021

The franchise joins a growing list of absentees at the event, with EA having previously tempered expectations by stating that neitherDragon Age 4or anew Mass Effect gamewill appear, either.

So… what is coming?

Star Wars fans can still get their fix with the recent Legacy of the Sith expansion pack for The Old Republic MMO set to land in time for the game’s tenth anniversary. And, with EA losing the exclusive rights to the Star Wars franchise, we may soon hear what Ubisoft has planned for its own open-world Star Wars game. The long-gestatingLego Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais still on the way, too.

As for what EA might actually have to show off, expect the event to be heavily focussed onBattlefield 2042,Apex Legendsand (if we’re lucky) the unveiling of a Dead Space remake.

The EA Play showcase takes place on July 22 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, or at 3am on July 23 in Australia. We’ll have all the announcements as they happen at the event, so keep checking back on the day for all the big news.
