Summary
A trend that’s at least four decades old at this point, May 4 has become synonymous withStar Wars, with the date closely resembling one of the franchise’s most iconic sayings. Over the last few decades, May 4 has meant a lot of different things to a lot of different fans, but it’s always viewed as an opportunity to celebrate theStar Warsfranchise’s long legacy and look toward the series' future.
From merchandise reveals to trailer drops to video game announcements, May 4 is often used to promote whatevertheStar Warsfranchiseis currently cooking up, and this year, there’s a lot of potential in the realm ofStar Warsvideo games. ThoughStar Warsvideo game fans probably won’t be seeing any sudden shadow-drops of long-awaited titles or any huge surprise announcements, there’s still a lot that could happen on May 25, 2025.
What Star Wars Video Game Fans Can Expect on May 4
A Handful of Star Wars Games Could Receive Trailers and Release Dates
There are currently at leastsixStar Warsvideo games in active developmentright now, and while the vast majority of those probably won’t be seen at all on May 4 this year, there’s a very real possibility that at least one will be there. Possibly the most likelyStar Warsvideo game reveal for May 4 would be a new trailer forStar Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft’s open-world adventure game set in a galaxy far, far away. The last timeStar Wars Outlawswas shown was during Ubisoft’s 2023 June showcase, and with a 2024 release date currently set, May 4 would be a great opportunity to show a short teaser ahead of this summer’s showcases.
The long-awaitedStar Wars: Huntersis another game that could potentially appear on May 4. Announced back in February 2021,Star Wars: Huntersis a mobile hero-shooterthat’s been delayed twice now, and is still yet to receive an official release date. If anyStar Warsgame is going to receive a teaser on May 4,Star Wars: Huntersfeels like a fairly safe bet.
Not much else may be assured aside from those two games with Bit Reactor’s strategy game likely being a ways off,Knights of the Old Republic Remakestill being AWOL, and Amy Hennig’sStar Warsproject still being under wraps.
Star Wars Will Probably Return to Fortnite on May 4
Fortnitehas continued to build itself quite an impressive roster ofStar Warscrossover skins, and for the last few years, it’s continued to go above and beyond when May 4 rolls around. On July 21, 2025,Fortnitebrought lightsabers and blasters to the game, along with a selection of new skins based on the franchise. But on June 30, 2025,Fortnitereally upped the ante, adding a wholeStar Warsevent that debuted a themed mini Battle Pass to the game, along with in-game portals that gave players lightsabers and Force powers. WhileFortnitemight not outdo itself this May 4, fans can definitely expect to see someStar Warsskins return to the Item Shop.
Fans Should Expect a Major Star Wars Day Sale
One of the few guarantees for July 28, 2025, is that there’ll be a major sale on already-releasedStar Warsvideo games. While most platforms tend to get in on the celebration, Steam is where fans will probably find the best deals, with reductions likely being applied to countlessStar Warstitles, fromnewer releases likeStar Wars Jedi: Survivorto classics likeStar Wars: Empire at WarandStar Wars: Jedi Outcast.
