Star Wars fans just got a major announcement. Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is a new single-player, narrative-driven action RPG billed as a spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic.
Watch the trailer below.
About the Game
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was officially revealed at the 2025 Game Awards as a brand-new single-player narrative-driven action RPG developed by Arcanaut Studios in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
The game places you in the role of a Force user on a journey through a galaxy teetering on the brink of rebirth at the end of the Old Republic era, blending cinematic storytelling, memorable characters, and choice-driven gameplay.
The reveal included a first look at a teaser trailer and featured an exclusive interview with game director Casey Hudson, known for his work on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy, who emphasized crafting a contemporary vision of a definitive Star Wars experience.
In interviews accompanying the announcement, Hudson and Lucasfilm Games leadership explained that while Fate of the Old Republic is not a direct sequel to KOTOR, it honors the legacy by telling an all-new story with deep player agency and immersive world-building.
The project, still in early development, aims to combine choice-based narrative depth with heart-pounding combat, drawing on Hudson’s decades of experience and creative vision.
Players can expect to explore rich lore and original characters as more details—and a release window—are revealed in the future

Update: The game just went into development this year. Bloomberg goes so far as to say it might not get released until 2030: “Maybe it’ll be a PlayStation 7 game.”
Update #2: The head dev has shot down any worries that the game will be released in 2030, so it will be released sooner.
