Announced via a cinematic trailer during The Game Awards 2025, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is an upcoming single-player RPG. We know next to nothing about the game save for the time period it's taking place in--the same as the original Knights of the Old Republic games--but it certainly looks cool.
Fate is being developed by Arcanaut Studios with a team being helmed by Casey Hudson (yes, the same guy who was the game director of the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and then later, the first three Mass Effect games). The game is being described as a spiritual successor to the original KOTOR games, but it's unclear if that means it will reboot part of the story or simply be the sequel we never got. Only time will tell.
"Working on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was one of the defining experiences of my career," Hudson said in a press release. "With Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, we're telling a completely new and different story with everything we've learned since--crafting an adventure about choice, destiny, and the timeless struggle between light and dark. It's a dream come true to once again collaborate with Lucasfilm Games."
The trailer seems to imply that we'll be playing as a Force-sensitive person armed with a lightsaber, just like in the first KOTOR games. We get a few decent looks at the ship you'll be flying in too, likely acting as a hub area for you and your allies. The trailer provides vague outlines of some of these allies, but doesn't go into detail as to who they are or whether any of them are returning squadmates from the KOTOR games.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is set to release on PC and select consoles, presumably Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
