<\/section>\n

In the wake of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic\u2019s big announcement at The Game Awards<\/a>, you might have seen social media posts saying the game won’t be out until 2030. Director Casey Hudson has now stepped in to address those posts, insisting the game will be out before then.<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is in development at Edmonton, Alberta-based developer Arcanaut Studios, which Hudson and his partners only founded in July. It stole the show at The Game Awards with a flashy, tantalising CG trailer that contained no gameplay. But fans are particularly excited because Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is billed as the spiritual successor to the much-loved Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which Hudson directed while at BioWare.<\/p>\n

So where did all the \u201cnot till 2030\u201d posts come from? It seems a social media comment<\/a> from Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, in which he called a 2030 release window an \u201coptimistic guess\u201d based on the fact the studio was founded this year, ended up being framed elsewhere online as \u201cStar Wars: Fate of the Old Republic may not release until at least 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Now, Hudson himself has stepped in. \u201cDon\u2019t worry about the \u2018not till 2030\u2019 rumors,\u201d Hudson tweeted<\/a>. \u201cGame will be out before then. I\u2019m not getting any younger!\u201d<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is in \u201cearly development,\u201d so it still feels a fair while away. But based on Hudson\u2019s comment, it will launch at some point in 2029 at the latest<\/em>, which is four years away. In that time, Hudson will need to build out his new studio (almost certainly a factor in announcing the game so early), which will be a huge effort all on its own, as well as build what is expected to be a high quality AAA game with huge fan expectations.<\/p>\n

Details are thin on the ground, but we do have some top-line information as well as enthusiasm from LucasFilm Games, which is collaborating with Arcanaut Studios on the project. Obviously Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is set in the Old Republic era, given its name. It\u2019s a \u201cnarrative-driven single-player action RPG\u201d where you \u201cstep into the role of a Force user on a journey through a galaxy on the edge of rebirth.\u201d We\u2019re told players can expect an experience \u201cwhere every decision deepens their journey toward light or darkness.\u201d It sounds a lot like KOTOR, and while it may end up feeling a lot like KOTOR, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is a completely new and different story that will introduce new characters.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still early in development, with many challenges ahead,\u201d Hudson said in a blog post on StarWars.com<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to have enjoyed the support of KOTOR fans for many years, and I look forward to embarking upon this journey together, sharing more of what we\u2019re doing as soon as we can!\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Hudson\u2019s comment reassuring fans, there is some debate about whether Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will end up missing the current generation of consoles and end up launching on the PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox, as well as PC. Time will tell.<\/p>\n
