LEGO-branded games are always popular. That’s why the initial announcement ofLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Storywas received so well in 2019. With a release date of October 20,LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Storywould make for a great game to purchase younger audiences for the holidays, or to accompany the purchase of a next-gen console. A delay into 2021 unfortunately ruined those plans, but if a new leak is to be believed, fans won’t have to wait that much longer.
Watchful gamers recently noticed a change on retailer GameStop’s website forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Story. The listing has down the date of August 10, 2025. It perhaps implies that GameStop has received information regarding the game’s availability that has yet to be made public as of yet. If there’s a surprising element to a May 31 release date, it’s that it’s so long. Aseven-month delay forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Storyis substantial.

It’s important to make clear straight away that retailer release date leaks are incredibly unreliable. They’re accurate on occasion, like shortly before industry events where release dates are shared.

But it does beg the question as to why a May 31 release date was posted for the game at all.Placeholder datestend to set as December 31 of a certain year, for example.
The May 31 release date forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Story’sGameStop’s listing could perhaps reference something else. For example, it could imply a Fiscal Year 2020 release, or a Q1 release, though neither of those fit perfectly with May 31 either. More likely, it’s confirmed for Spring 2021, and so could be released in any of the early months of 2021. Nevertheless, for those anxious for an update regardingLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Story’s updated release date, they’re possibilities worth taking into consideration.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Storywill be the sixthLEGO Star Warsgame released in this series, following upLEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Rather than focusing on just a singleStar Warsfilm,The Skywalker Storywill be based on all nine majorStar Warspictures. It will include over 500Star Warscharacters, with many of them being playable. It’s understandable then why extra time may be needed for the game’s development.
For the time being,LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Story’s release date remains unknown. Even with today’s retailer listing from GameStop, fans shouldn’t take it seriously.
