Game Director of KotOR and Mass Effect Trilogy Casey Hudson Announced Ambitious Action Game Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic in a Fan-Favorite Setting

A major announcement for Star Wars fans took place at The Game Awards 2025 — Arcanaut Studios, with the support of Lucasfilm Games, presented an entirely new game based on the iconic franchise.

What is Known

Hints from insiders led the public to believe that TGA would showcase the semi-canceled remake of the iconic role-playing game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which is being handled by the Russian-origin company Saber Interactive.

Well, the truth turned out to be different: gamers were presented with a narrative action game Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. Indeed, the events of the new game will unfold during the Old Republic period, and this is no coincidence, since the project is being directed by Casey Hudson, the game director of the original KotOR and one of the key creators of the Mass Effect trilogy.

Details of the game have not been disclosed yet, but it is clear that the emphasis is on cinematic and spectacular presentation, and the game will be built on Unreal Engine 5.

When to Expect

The release dates for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic are unknown, as are the target platforms.
