We're actually getting a new Star Wars game set in the Old Republic, and it's helmed by the original KotOR and Mass Effect director

I expected The Game Awards 2025 to surprise me at least a few times, but I certainly wasn't expecting an announcement of this caliber. We're getting a brand-new Star Wars game, and I couldn't possibly be more excited for this.

Did this just become my most anticipated game? Yes, yes it did.

Let's be clear, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is absolutely ages away, as this is a simple teaser trailer with no gameplay to speak of. We do know it's being developed by Arcanaut Studios — a new team comprised of veteran developers and storytellers — in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will be a single-player action-RPG, set in the infamous Old Republic era of Star Wars, and your decisions will shape your path toward the Dark or Light sides of the Force. It's everything I could've wanted in a new Star Wars game.

We also know this trailer was captured using Unreal Engine 5, and is being developed for Windows PC and consoles (exact consoles weren't mentioned, but this game may very well be far enough way that it could come to next-gen consoles, so I'm not surprised).

We don't know much more beyond that at the moment, but I'm mostly upset I'm obviously going to have to wait a long time for this one. When the website does go live, you'll be able to see more about Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic at SWFOTOR.com.
