Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic director dismisses 2030 release rumors, quipping, “I’m not getting any younger!”

The director of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic has dismissed speculation that the game won’t be released until at least 2030.

Fate of the Old Republic was one of the standout announcements at The Game Awards 2025, and it’s easy to see why. This title is a “spiritual successor” rather than a “direct sequel” to one of the most acclaimed Star Wars games, helmed by Casey Hudson, the original director of Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy.

However, Jason Schreier pointed out on social media that “Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it’ll be a PlayStation 7 game.”

In response to the buzz about the game’s potentially distant release, Casey Hudson stepped in to quell the rumors, stating that the game will arrive before 2030. “Don’t worry about the ‘not till 2030’ rumors,” he tweeted recently. “Game will be out before then. I’m not getting any younger!”

Hudson elaborated on the game’s vision after its reveal, saying, “Fate of the Old Republic represents an opportunity to explore a contemporary vision of a definitive Star Wars experience, using state-of-the-art technology and game design, and an all-new story crafted specifically to deliver on the combination of player agency and immersion in Star Wars that was at the heart of KOTOR.” The game is being developed by the newly-formed Arcanaut Studios, where Hudson serves as CEO.

Currently, there are no details regarding the release window for Fate of the Old Republic, aside from the fact that it is still in early development, nor is there any information on which platforms it might be available.
