Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Revealed at The Game Awards
The game will be led by Casey Hudson, the director of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was surprisingly announced at The Game Awards, with a cinematic trailer building anticipation for the new space adventure.
The new RPG, being created by Arcanaut Studios and Lucasfilm Games, is described as a "spiritual successor to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and is helmed by Casey Hudson, the director of the aforementioned title and the Mass Effect trilogy.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will be a single-player narrative-driven action RPG, inviting players to an epic interactive adventure across a galaxy on the verge of rebirth. The developers don't disclose the details of the story yet, sharing only some insights about the overall mood of the game:
"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," Casey Hudson says.
"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," shares VP and GM of Lucasfilm Games Douglas Reilly.
