The Old Republic Makes Its Grand Return to Star Wars

Ever since LucasArts was shut down when Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, the fate of many Star Wars games and books was left in a state of limbo or simply abandoned in Legends.

One of the most prominent Star Wars properties that was left in a state of limbo was Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its spinoffs, with only the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic receiving updates since the Disney purchase.

Survivor is going against Dagan Gera for the second time with both of their lightsabers drawn.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Reportedly Outsold Star Wars Outlaws In 2024

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a game released in 2023, managed to outsell Star Wars Outlaws in Europe last year.

Little of the Old Republic era has been discussed since 2012 beyond the announcement of the KOTOR remake in 2021, which has seen development shift from Aspyr to Saber Interactive, with a release window still unknown.

However, 2025's The Game Awards has given The Old Republic fans new hope as the award ceremony has exclusively revealed the upcoming brand-new game: Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic.

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Explained

Developed by Arcanaut Studios and Lucasfilm Games, Fate of the Old Republic is not a direct sequel or continuation of any Old Republic games, according to Lucasfilm Games' Douglas Reilly, but is a brand-new title that will embrace the legacy of KOTOR.

Fate of the Old Republic will already have close ties to KOTOR, as not only was an iconically curved Interdictor-class cruiser famously commanded by Darth Malak shown crashed in Fate's trailer, but KOTOR Director Casey Hudson will be returning to oversee Fate's development.

In an exclusive interview with StarWars.com's editor-in-chief Kristin Baver, Hudson stated that Fate of the Old Republic will "...explore a contemporary vision of a definitive Star Wars experience."

Star Wars Fate of the Old Republic Jedi Character

Much like KOTOR, Fate will be a narrative-driven, single-player RPG featuring a wide cast of new characters, including a new, unnamed Jedi shown in Fate's debut trailer.

Fate is currently in the early stages of development with no official release window revealed currently, but Reilly has assured fans that there are "... quite literally, infinite stories to tell [in Fate]".
