- Arcnaut Studios has announced this Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic at The Game Awards
- The RPG will be directed by Knights of the Old Republic and Mass effect trilogy director Casey Hudson
- PHOTOGRAPHER described as a spiritual successor to KOTOR and is in early development
A new Star Wars game set during the Old Republic era is now in development at Arcnaut Studios and will be helmed by Knights of the Old Republic and Mass effect trilogy director Casey Hudson.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was officially revealed during The Game Awards 2025 with a teaser trailer. It’s a narrative-driven action role-playing game (RPG) where you step into the role of a Force user on a journey through a galaxy on the edge of rebirth.
Created in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, The fate of the old republic is not said to be a direct sequel or continuation of BioWare’s KOTORand is still in the early stages of development.
While this may be the case, I’m curious as to why what appears to be the Leviathan can be seen in the trailer, an Interdictor-class cruiser commanded by Saul Karath, who served under Darth Revan, and then later Darth Malak, in KOTOR.
Maybe it’s not the Leviathan and just a completely different Sith Interdictor class cruiser, or will PHOTOGRAPHER has some kind of connection to Revan’s tale? We’ll have to wait and see.
In an interview with Star Wars, Hudson, who co-founded Arcanaut Studios this year, said he was eager to return to the galaxy, but explained that “a project like this is a huge commitment for everyone involved, so it required the right conditions to get everything lined up”.

“Our goal is to develop the kind of games I love to make: emotionally powerful, cinematic adventures driven by player agency, narrative depth, and immersive world-building,” said Hudson. “Discussions between our team and Lucasfilm Games led to an incredible opportunity to return to Star Wars, and once again we can hardly believe we are working on such a special project.”
Although there is no release window yet, we do know that the game will be a spiritual sequel to KOTOR that “immerses players in an unforgettable experience where every decision deepens their journey towards light or darkness.”
“Working on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was one of the defining experiences of my career,” Hudson continued. “With Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republicwe’re telling a brand new and different story with everything we’ve learned since – creating an adventure of choice, destiny and the timeless struggle between light and dark. It’s a dream come true to partner with Lucasfilm Games again.”
