It's called Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic (or FotOR to its friends), and it was revealed during The Game Awards last night (Thursday 11th December 2025).
Another description adds: "Blending innovative storytelling, memorable characters, and heart-pounding combat, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will immerse you in an unforgettable experience where every decision deepens your journey toward the light…or the darkness."
Interestingly, Hudson seems to have founded a whole new company, Arcanaut Studios, over in Canada, and this is their first project.
When is the Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic release date?
The Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic release date has not been confirmed yet, and we wouldn't expect it to be revealed any time soon.
Given that game development cycles take multiple years in this day and age, we would speculate that the game will not come out in 2026 or 2027. Our most realistic hope is a 2028 release, and even that sounds a bit on the optimistic side! But hey, rebellions are built on hope.
In terms of the timeline, it sounds like FotOR will take place a fair bit later than KotOR. The Star Wars website describes the new game as "a journey through a galaxy on the edge of rebirth at the end of the Old Republic."
Is Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic canon?
The canon status of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic has not yet been confirmed by Lucasfilm or Arcanaut Studios.
"Being set in the past gives us an immense amount of open space to tell new original Star Wars stories, while staying true to the spirit of the galaxy we all love. There are, quite literally, infinite stories to tell. While we will always honor and celebrate the core saga, it’s crucial to explore new territory, meet new characters, and see new parts of the galaxy."
Why would Reilly be talking about "having to navigate storytelling touchstones from other media" if this new game wasn't even canon? Bumping into other "touchstones" only matters if you share the same continuity, right? That's our thinking, anyway, and it makes sense... from a certain point of view.

The Star Was blog promises "heart-pounding combat" and Arcanaut's press release describes the game as "a single-player action RPG where you step into the role of a Force user on a journey through a galaxy on the edge of rebirth."
Is the Ebon Hawk in Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic?
The ship in the game's trailer does bear some similarities to the Ebon Hawk, but it's not an identical design in this writer's opinion. The Ebon Hawk is more rounded at the back, while the ship in the trailer is more angular.
For another thing, in the trailer, you can see from the cockpit all the way out the back door, which is not how the layout of the Ebon Hawk works in the previous games. Colour us skeptical on this one!
Will any KotOR characters return in Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic?
It's worth remembering that the game is set a fair amount of time later, and possibly takes place in a different canon altogether (don't forget that KotOR and KotOR 2 haven't been official canon since Disney took over).
Bringing back the droids would be an easy one. HK-47 and T3-M4 both appeared across KotOR and KotOR 2, and there's nothing to stop them reappearing again. That said, there seemed to be a totally new companion droid in the trailer.
Which platforms will Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic come to?
So, you don't need to worry about being left behind if you don't have a PC! We'd hope to see the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and perhaps even the next generation of consoles to come after that. The odds of a Nintendo Switch 2 port seem a little less likely, but hey, never tell me the odds.
