Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic looks like the KOTOR 3 I've waited 20 years for, and the original RPG's director is returning to lead it

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic.

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was the first major announcement for The Game Awards 2025, and it's a doozy. A brand-new single-player action-RPG led by Casey Hudson, director of the original Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy, this looks to be a proper follow-up to the game that introduced a generation of Star Wars fans to the joys of RPGs – myself included.

The brief teaser trailer shows a group of characters landing on a planet, led by what's eventually revealed to be a Jedi, igniting a blue lightsaber to confront an unseen threat. The encounter happens aboard an Interdictor-class cruiser, a ship design that first appeared in KOTOR and has not been seen in modern canon.
