The excitement for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake was replaced by curiosity over what’s to be its “spiritual successor” – namely, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. Developed by the recently established Arcanaut Studios and Lucasfilm Games, it’s led by Casey Hudson of the Mass Effect trilogy. He’s also the director of 2003’s Knights of the Old Republic.
Of course, because of the studio’s recent establishment, there are those, like Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who believe it wouldn’t launch until 2030 (if not later). Hudson responded on Twitter afterwards, telling fans, “Don’t worry about the ‘not till 2030’ rumors. Game will be out before then. I’m not getting any younger!”
Which is all well and good, but that doesn’t mean it’s launching next year or even in 2027. Then again, considering how far away the KOTOR remake seems to be (don’t even get us started on the sequel’s alleged remake), it’s better than nothing.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic doesn’t have any platforms, but it’s confirmed to be a single-player narrative action RPG. Players venture through a “galaxy on the edge of rebirth” as a Force user, and, like the original, your choices will have an impact.
