Casey Hudson Says Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Will Launch Before 2030

Hudson issued the reassurance after questions about a long timeline for a project still in early development at newly formed Arcanaut Studios.

Overview

  • The game was unveiled at The Game Awards 2025 as a single-player, narrative-driven action RPG positioned as a spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic.
  • Hudson, the original KOTOR and Mass Effect director, is leading development at Arcanaut Studios in partnership with Lucasfilm Games.
  • Official materials confirm the project is in the early stages with no release date announced.
  • Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier had suggested a 2030-or-later release was plausible given the studio’s recent founding, prompting Hudson’s public pushback.
  • Developers say the title features an all-new story and characters, with Windows confirmed and other console platforms not yet specified.
