During The Game Awards 2025, Arcanaut Studios and Lucasfilm Games revealed a brand-new single-player action role-playing game set in the Star Wars universe. Along with the first teaser trailer, it was announced that the game will be directed by Casey Hudson, the original game director of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy.
The official summary of the game on the Star Wars website reads as follows:
The fate of the galaxy is in your hands in a narrative-driven action RPG where you step into the role of a Force user on a journey through a galaxy on the edge of rebirth. Blending innovative storytelling, memorable characters, and heart-pounding combat, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic immerses you in an unforgettable experience where every decision deepens your journey toward light or darkness.
Although the game is still in the initial stages of development, an early interview with Casey Hudson, co-founder of Arcanaut Studios, and Douglas Reilly, VP and GM of Lucasfilm Games, confirms that it is not a direct sequel or continuation. Hudson shares that the project will be “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.”
Reilly echoes the sentiment, expressing that “this new project is about honoring that legacy by creating something in the same tradition of a deep, cinematic, choice-driven role-playing game.”
