The Game Awards kicked off their announcements with a giant reveal of a new Star Wars RPG, Fate of the Old Republic!
In what might be one of the biggest reveals of the whole night, The Game Awards dropped the first trailer for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. It’s a brand new, single-player RPG set in the Old Republic time period. Even better, Casey Hudson, the original director behind Knights of the Old Republic is helming this one. This feels about as close to KOTOR 3 as we’re likely to get.
In this narrative-driven, single player RPG and spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic, players step into the role of a Force user in a galaxy on the edge of rebirth. Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will blend innovative storytelling, memorable characters, and heart-pounding combat for an unforgettable experience where every decision deepens the player’s journey toward light or darkness.
Led by Casey Hudson, Arcanaut Studios unites veteran storytellers and developers to create a spiritual successor to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic™ that blends innovative storytelling, memorable characters, and heart-pounding combat. Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic immerses players in an unforgettable experience where every decision deepens their journey toward light or darkness.
“Working on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was one of the defining experiences of my career,” said Casey Hudson, Game Director at Arcanaut Studios. “With Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, we’re telling a completely new and different story with everything we’ve learned since – crafting an adventure about choice, destiny, and the timeless struggle between light and dark. It’s a dream come true to once again collaborate with Lucasfilm Games.”
“We look for partners who have the drive and the leadership to build something groundbreaking, and that’s what we see in Casey,” said Jay Ong, President of Disney Games Group. “Under Casey’s direction, Arcanaut Studios is assembling a team with a deep passion for storytelling and building immersive worlds. Their vision for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is exactly the kind of ambitious, high-quality experience we want to deliver for our players.”
“The Old Republic era is a rich and beloved part of the Star Wars™ galaxy, and we are thrilled to be exploring a fresh story that we’ve never seen before in Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic,” said Douglas Reilly, VP and GM of Lucasfilm Games. “Arcanaut Studios shares our enthusiasm for the galaxy far, far away, and their plan for this new narrative is inspiring. We believe fans will be delighted by the journey that awaits them, and we can’t wait to share more.”
