The first big surprise at The Game Awards 2025 was the announcement of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a spiritual successor to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In development by Arcanaut Studios in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is led by none other than Casey Hudson, the game director of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy.
A teaser trailer was shared at The Game Awards 2025, with confirmation that it’ll be a single-player, narrative-driven action RPG. It’s currently in development for PC and consoles. “Led by Casey Hudson, Game director of the original Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy, the team of veteran game developers and storytellers at Arcanaut Studios is crafting an epic interactive adventure across a galaxy on the brink of rebirth where every decision shapes your path towards 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.”
