Fans of the Star Wars Jedi franchise have been eagerly awaiting news about the next chapter in Cal Kestis's story. While the third video game installment remains in development, Respawn Entertainment and publisher Dark Horse Comics are delivering a different kind of sequel this year: the third volume of the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order manga series. Set to hit shelves on December 1, 2026, this graphic novel continues the manga adaptation of the 2019 hit game.
The official synopsis for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Volume 3 teases an emotional and action-packed journey. “Haunted by tragic memories and with his lightsaber destroyed, Cal’s quest is about to test him in ways he never could have imagined,” the description reads. “As he journeys to new planets, Cal delves into his painful past and his relationship with his deceased master Jaro Tapal.” The volume promises striking visuals and an immersive story that brings Cal's struggle to life on the page.
The cover art features Greez, Cere, and the Mantis, hinting at the return of beloved supporting characters. Pre-orders are already available for those who want to secure their copy ahead of the December release. This manga series has been a hit with fans who want to experience the Star Wars Jedi story in a new format, blending the game's narrative with the artistry of Japanese manga.
The Star Wars Jedi franchise, starring Cameron Monaghan as Cal Kestis, has become a cornerstone of modern Star Wars gaming. Fallen Order (2019) and its sequel Survivor (2023) have been praised for their storytelling, gameplay, and connection to the larger Star Wars lore. While a third game is confirmed to be in the works, details remain scarce, making this manga release a welcome treat for fans.
This isn't the only big release on the horizon for fans of established IPs. The video game industry has seen a surge in titles based on beloved franchises, from the upcoming Wolverine game by Insomniac to Grand Theft Auto 6. Even the world of comics and manga is getting in on the action, with adaptations like this one bridging the gap between gaming and reading.
For those who can't get enough of Cal Kestis, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Volume 3 is a must-read. It offers a deeper dive into the character's psyche and the galaxy far, far away.
