What Happened
Director Casey Hudson has confirmed that 'Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic' will be released before 2030. The game is being developed by Arcanaut Studios, a studio Hudson founded. The development team includes several veterans of the original Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) and Mass Effect games, such as Chief Technology Officer Ryan Hoyle, Production and Performance Director Caroline Livingstone, Director of External Development Melanie Faulknor, and Senior Technical Designer Dan Fessenden. Ubisoft veteran Pascal Blanché also recently joined as studio art director. The project is distinct from both Obsidian's KOTOR 2 and a separate KOTOR remake announced in 2021 that is being worked on by Saber Interactive.
Why this Matters to You
If you are a fan of classic BioWare-style role-playing games or the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series, this announcement confirms a major new project is actively in development with a clear release window. The assembly of a team with deep experience in those beloved franchises may increase the likelihood that the new game captures a similar spirit. However, with no details on story, gameplay, or canonicity yet released, the final quality and direction of the game remain to be seen.
What's Next
Development at Arcanaut Studios will continue toward the pre-2030 release. The next major updates will likely involve the first reveals of the game's story, gameplay approach, and visual style. In parallel, Saber Interactive's separate KOTOR remake project continues its own development path.
