A teaser trailer for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was revealed at the Game Awards. This prompted great excitement for fans of Knights of the Old Republic and KOTOR II: The Sith Lords, widely regarded as two of the best Star Wars games of all time. The new game is a “single-player narrative-driven action RPG” and is described as “a spiritual successor to Knights Of The Old Republic,” and even better, it comes from Casey Hudson, director of the original game as well as the Mass Effect trilogy.
What is Fate of the Old Republic About?
The teaser doesn’t offer much, and details are sparse, with the description merely saying that the game blends “innovative storytelling, memorable characters, and heart-pounding combat [to] immerse you in an unforgettable experience where every decision deepens your journey toward the light…or the darkness.”
Casey Hudson on Returning to Star Wars
“When we developed the original KOTOR, we wanted to create a definitive Star Wars experience — crafting an adventure that consisted of all the things we dreamed of doing as Star Wars fans,” Hudson told the official Star Wars site. “Now, 25 years after we started work on that game, our aspirations are equally ambitious. Fate of the Old Republic represents an opportunity to explore a contemporary vision of a definitive Star Wars experience, using state-of-the-art technology and game design, and an all-new story crafted specifically to deliver on the combination of player agency and immersion in Star Wars that was at the heart of KOTOR.“
Douglas Reilly, VP and GM of Lucasfilm Games, explained that while Fate of the Old Republic is not a direct sequel or continuation of the original games, “It is being built by people who helped shape that legacy. Throughout my two decades of working on Star Wars games, including Star Wars: The Old Republic, I have been fortunate to see firsthand just how much these stories mean to our fans. For us, this new project is about honoring that legacy by creating something in the same tradition of a deep, cinematic, choice-driven role-playing game. Reuniting with Casey has been a tremendous honor, and we are pouring all of our shared passion and experience into building the next great chapter.“
The Release is a Long Way Off
Unfortunately, you shouldn’t expect to play Fate of the Old Republic anytime soon. Hudson explained that the game is in the early stages of development and creation. “We’re still early in development, with many challenges ahead,” Hudson said. “I’m grateful to have enjoyed the support of KOTOR fans for many years, and I look forward to embarking upon this journey together, sharing more of what we’re doing as soon as we can!“
