love and gratitude for Star Wars thanks to which it is currently in the air Star Wars Celebrations on May 4th (and “Revenge of the Fifth” the next day). The celebration of memorable adventures in a galaxy far, far away may soon be over…but the team behind one of the most promising Star Wars projects has made some exciting announcements before then.
This is the project Star Wars: The Fate of the Old Republic – a brand new single player RPG for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC and PS5 announced during Game Awards 2025and it will be set during the Old Republic era of the Star Wars timeline. It is the first game to return to that era since the 2011 MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic, which was preceded by 2003’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) and 2004’s Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords.

“Our team members working on Star Wars: Destiny of the Old Republic come from many different development backgrounds,” he wrote. “Some were with me in 2003 when I created Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect Trilogy. Others cut their teeth at industry-changing games like Microsoft, BioWare, Epic Games, Ubisoft, EA, and more.”
“We are united by the desire to live and breathe Star Wars and return to this beloved galaxy for a new adventure,” he said.
Having veteran KotOR and Mass Effect talent join the Fate of the Old Republic development team is incredibly exciting and gives me confidence that the RPG is in good hands. I’ve been waiting for a true successor to the KotOR games for over twenty years now, and if there’s anyone I trust to do it, it’s the people who created the series in the first place.
As for when Fate of the Old Republic will be released, that’s currently unknown, as the game doesn’t have a release date or even a release date. the window. However, Hudson has previously confirmed that the game will arrive before 2030, so we’ll have it before the dawn of the next decade.
Can’t wait to get your hands on Star Wars: The Fate of the Old Republic? Does having the developers of KotOR and Mass Effect make you more excited about the project? Let me know in the comments and in our poll.
