Star Wars Fate of the Old Republic Shown at The Game Awards

The new game is in early development for console and PC.

During tonight’s The Game Awards ceremony, a new Star Wars gaming adventure was revealed.

What’s Happening:

The Game Awards are happening as we speak, and less than an hour in, we already have a brand new Star Wars game reveal!
The new game, titled Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, was revealed in a new teaser trailer.

Showcasing some incredibly gorgeous footage of the new adventure, the game is being developed by Arcanaut Studios in partnership with Lucasfilm Games.

Led by Casey Hudson, the game is described as a spiritual successor to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, emphasizing choice, destiny, and light-vs-dark decisions.
If this means the game has a “morality system,” this could be a really cool expansion of the Star Wars gaming lineup.
In games like the Fable series, players' decisions affect how other characters interact with the main character.

Knights of the Old Republic, which Hudson also worked on, was released in 2003 and has been a fan-favorite game ever since.
Hudson says the project lets the team craft a new story using everything learned since KOTOR.
Disney Games president Jay Ong praised Hudson’s leadership and Arcanaut’s ambition to build a groundbreaking, immersive experience.
While details surrounding the game remain limited, Lucasfilm Games leadership said the Old Republic era is beloved and the new story promises something fresh for fans.
The game is in early development for PC and consoles.
