We got the usual flurry of announcements during this year's The Game Awards, among them being Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a brand new action RPG set a long, long time ago. Though it's set in the same period, and made by several devs who forged the Knights of the Old Republic games, this isn't a follow-up to those releases, nor should you expect any explicit connection.
"Throughout my two decades of working on Star Wars games, including Star Wars: The Old Republic, I have been fortunate to see firsthand just how much these stories mean to our fans," Douglas Reilly, VP and GM of Lucasfilm Games, tells the official Star Wars website. "For us, this new project is about honoring that legacy by creating something in the same tradition of a deep, cinematic, choice-driven role-playing game."
