Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic Revealed

[Post bot]

After an initial performance and some awards being handed out, tonight’s Game Awards presentation got its reveals underway with a beautiful cinematic trailer revealing Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic.

The new single-player RPG is set during the Old Republic era, and is directed by Casey Hudson, working as part of Arcanaut Studios. Hudson is well known to RPG fans from his work leading games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect.

While the new trailer looks great, it doesn’t reveal much. We see a spaceship descend onto a mysterious and desolate planet, a female lead venturing forth with two companions, and a fateful encounter with someone or something bathed in red light.

The whole thing has a very Star Wars feel, but we’ll have to wait to learn more about what’s really going on.

Even without more info, Fate of the Old Republic is a hugely exciting project. After years of fan requests for more single-player Star Wars RPGs, having Hudson in place to bring us another game is big news indeed.

No word yet on platform availability or release date, but rest assured, to borrow phrasing from a certain emperor, we’ll be watching the development of the game with great interest.
