Star Wars Jedi new manga sequel set for Dec. 1, 2026
The Star Wars Jedi new release fans can put on the calendar is not the long-awaited third Cal Kestis game — it is Fallen Order manga volume 3, confirmed for December 1, 2026. The multi-volume adaptation continues Cameron Monaghan’s Jedi survivor story and is already available for pre-order.
Key Takeaways
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order manga volume 3 releases December 1, 2026.
- The chapter continues Cal Kestis’s story after volume 2 arrived in May.
- The official synopsis puts Cal on new planets after his lightsaber is destroyed.
- Greez, Cere, and the Mantis appear on the volume 3 cover art.
- Further publishing details may surface at San Diego Comic-Con on July 24.
For gamers and pop-culture watchers tracking celebrity breaking news, the calendar entry matters because it finally gives the Cal Kestis saga a concrete 2026 drop date. Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi games — Fallen Order in 2019 and Survivor in 2023 — made Monaghan’s Jedi a franchise face. A third game is confirmed to be in the works, but public progress updates have been scarce.
That vacuum is why retailer listings for the manga’s third volume landed with such force. As Collider reports, the December 1 release continues the multi-volume manga adaptation of the best-selling game rather than launching a new interactive title.
What is releasing this year for Star Wars Jedi?
Volume 3 of the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order manga is scheduled to hit shelves everywhere on December 1, 2026. Pre-orders are already live. Star Wars News Net notes that volume 2 shipped in May, so this is the next chapter in an ongoing adaptation, not a one-shot tie-in.
The publisher’s synopsis says Cal is haunted by tragic memories and traveling with his lightsaber destroyed. His quest will test him in ways he never imagined as he visits new planets and confronts his painful past — including his relationship with his deceased master, Jaro Tapal.
Does the manga continue Cal Kestis’s Fallen Order story?
Yes. Official materials frame volume 3 as a continuation of the manga adaptation of the hit video game, keeping readers with Cal’s quest. Cover art also features familiar allies Greez and Cere alongside the Mantis, underscoring that the crew remains part of this chapter’s visual pitch.
Collider stresses that the manga keeps fans immersed in Cal’s story with striking visuals and an action-packed narrative while the next game waits for clearer news.
Will San Diego Comic-Con add more Star Wars Jedi details?
Possibly. Star Wars News Net reports Lucasfilm publishing will run panels at San Diego Comic-Con on July 24, including a Mad Cave and Lucasfilm Publishing comics session at 12:00 p.m. PDT. More Fallen Order manga volume 3 details may surface there, after retailer listings and cover art already confirmed the December 1 date.
Until then, the takeaway for the English-speaking fanbase is simple: the Star Wars Jedi new release locked for this year is manga volume 3 on December 1 — a story beat for Cal while Respawn’s third game remains officially in development without a public ship window.
