Star Wars Fate of the Old Republic Director Says Game Will Release Before 2030

Okay, so there’s been a lot of talk online about when Star Wars: The Old Republic might finally come out, with some people saying it won’t be until 2030! I just heard from Casey Hudson, the game director, and he’s basically saying those rumors are way off base. He’s pushing back on all that speculation, so it sounds like we might be playing a lot sooner than everyone thinks!

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hudson addressed rumors that the game wouldn’t be released until 2030, assuring fans it will come out sooner. He jokingly added that he’s not getting any younger, implying a desire to see the game released soon.

The announcement was received with a lot of excitement from players, and many playfully suggested it hinted at a release date sometime between November and December 2029.

Is 4 Years of Development Doable?

After Hudson’s recent announcement, many wondered if a four-year development timeline is realistic, especially considering his studio, Arcanaut Studios, was just established this summer.

Most large-scale games like Star Wars: The Old Republic usually take 6 to 8 years to develop, including the initial planning and research phases, which can last up to two years. Considering Rob Hudson’s experience, this game might already have a solid design, and the main challenge now is finding the team to build it.

Ultimately, Hudson’s dismissal of the rumors puts an end to negative chatter about the game. And even if the game doesn’t come out until 2030 or later, honestly, who will even remember the concerns by then?

When the game was announced, Aranaut described Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic as a deeply engaging experience with a compelling story, memorable characters, and exciting combat. He explained that your choices will significantly impact your path, leading you toward either the light or the dark side.
