Star Wars gaming is entering a period of renewed energy. While Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGoH) remains the dominant long-running mobile title in the franchise, a wave of new projects—ranging from remakes to strategy titles to digital card games—appears to be on the horizon. With several studios quietly developing projects and Lucasfilm Games teasing new formats, fans may soon have more choice than they’ve had in years.
Below is a breakdown of the most notable projects rumored or confirmed, as well as a closer look at the newly announced digital collectible card game that has captured the attention of SWGoH players and card-game fans alike.
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and the Need for Competition
For nearly a decade, Galaxy of Heroes has been the flagship live-service Star Wars title. Despite its success, many players feel that the lack of competing Star Wars mobile games has allowed the game to stagnate. A healthy competitive ecosystem could encourage innovation and improve player experience across all titles.
This context makes the newly announced Star Wars mobile/PC card game especially intriguing—particularly because its genre aligns closely with deckbuilding, a core design philosophy already embedded in Galaxy of Heroes. Many fans see this as the type of competition that could “light a fire” under CG to evolve SWGoH’s systems and player experience.
Rumored and Leaked Titles in the Pipeline
1. “Star Wars Zero Company” – XCOM-Style Strategy
Leaks describe Star Wars Zero Company as a tactical title reminiscent of XCOM, focusing on squad-based missions and strategic combat. Though not officially announced, the concept has generated excitement given the success of turn-based tactical games in other franchises.
2. Knights of the Old Republic II — Remake Rumors
As major gaming events approach—such as The Game Awards—more whispers have emerged about a KOTOR II remake, along with new movement on the long-silent KOTOR remake originally announced in 2021. Although nothing is confirmed, new leaks suggest both projects are still active in some form.
For official updates on existing and upcoming titles, Lucasfilm maintains an active hub at StarWars.com/interactive, which highlights game announcements, features, and developer insights across the franchise.
A New Star Wars Digital Card Game: The Most Significant Reveal Yet
The most concrete new announcement is a digital collectible card game (CCG) currently being developed for Android, iOS, and PC. Lucasfilm Games revealed the project through an official announcement (covered at StarWars.com) and confirmed collaboration with:
- 036 Studio
- CCG Lab
The game promises to let players build decks featuring iconic characters such as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and other saga-spanning favorites, offering a fresh gameplay perspective for fans of strategy titles, competitive play, and Star Wars lore.
What We Know So Far
It will be a card-collecting, deck-building game, blending competition with cinematic Star Wars presentation.
The developers aim to capture the “thrill, adventure, and heart of Star Wars” in an instantly accessible but continually surprising format.
The game is described as familiar to genre fans yet innovative, suggesting mechanics beyond traditional TCG/CCG rulesets.
This project immediately invites comparisons to Marvel Snap, one of the most successful modern card games (earning more than $275M in its first two years). For many players, Marvel Snap revitalized the mobile card-game market with fast matches, animated card abilities, and dynamic “location effects” that changed gameplay each round.
If the Star Wars CCG follows a similar structure—short matches, strong character-driven abilities, animated interactions, and location-based modifiers—it could easily become a breakout hit.
How Marvel Snap is Connected
Digging deeper into the development trail reveals something interesting:
036 Studio is a subsidiary of ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok and formerly the publisher of Marvel Snap via its gaming division, Nuverse.
This does not confirm that the new Star Wars game will be a one-to-one copy of Marvel Snap, but the shared lineage suggests the developers are familiar with producing fast-paced, socially viral, visually appealing card battlers.
For fans who enjoy:
- Yu-Gi-Oh (Master Duel or Duel Links)
- Pokémon’s digital card formats
- Marvel Snap
- or even the defunct physical game Star Wars: Destiny
…this upcoming Star Wars CCG could be a major addition to the franchise.
The Bigger Picture: A New Era of Star Wars Gaming?
Between leaks of strategy games, the potential return of the KOTOR series, and the confirmed development of a new digital CCG, the Star Wars gaming landscape appears poised for meaningful expansion.
Not every recent Star Wars game has landed successfully—Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth (from the same developers as SWGoH) disappointed many, and Star Wars Hunters struggled to find a stable footing—but these lessons may help shape stronger future titles.
For now, the card game is the most promising confirmed project, and Lucasfilm has encouraged fans to follow updates on StarWars.com/interactive as development continues.
Conclusion
Star Wars fans may finally be getting the variety and innovation they’ve been waiting for in the gaming world. Between potential remakes, new strategy experiences, and a high-profile digital card game, the next few years could redefine how fans interact with the galaxy far, far away.
While details on several projects remain sparse, the excitement is unmistakable—and if the new card game delivers on its early promise, it could become a major new pillar of Star Wars gaming.
