Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was revealed during The Game Awards with a brief trailer that got Geoff Keighley so excited his voice started cracking. Like any announcement trailer, it was brief, featuring a spaceship landing on a rainy planet and a woman in white robes staring into the camera as a lightsaber zhooms to life. According to the trailer’s YouTube description, Fate of the Old Republic is a single-player narrative game and the spiritual successor to the KOTOR series.
Developed by Arcanaut Studios in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, Fate of the Old Republic reunites Casey Hudson with the Star Wars franchise. Hudson was a veteran BioWare developer known for directing Mass Effect and the Knights of the Old Republic series. He left BioWare in 2020 to start his own studio, Humanoid Origin, but the studio shut down in 2024 before it released its first game. It seems like in the intervening time, Hudson has found a new project to work on.
