The Game Awards this week showed off a lot of upcoming games that we’ll be playing over the next few years. Some, like Highguard, are launching soon, and others, like Exodus, will take a bit longer. The biggest surprise? A game many people thought wouldn’t be out until 2030 is actually coming much sooner than expected.
During The Game Awards 2025, a new Star Wars game called Fate of the Old Republic was unveiled to a huge reaction. The game had been kept under wraps, and the announcement sent fans into a frenzy. Excitement increased even further when it was revealed that Casey Hudson, the original director of Knights of the Old Republic, is leading the development.
The initial excitement surrounding Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic has calmed down as fans understand the game is still very early in development and won’t be released for several years. While the exact timeline is unknown, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier estimates a release date no earlier than 2030, and even that is a hopeful prediction.
Given how ambitious and large-scale Fate of the Old Republic appears to be, a lengthy development time is understandable, and a 2030 release date doesn’t seem surprising. While it’s frustrating for fans to wait so long for the next Old Republic game, many trailers shown at events like the Game Awards are for projects still in early stages of development. That was, at least, our initial impression.

Casey Hudson responded to reports about a potential long development timeline for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, stating it won’t take nearly that long to release. He assured fans the game will be out before 2030, playfully adding that he’s not getting any younger.
Considering how long similar games, like Fate of the Old Republic, typically take to develop, a 2030 release date, as predicted by Schreier, seems plausible. While it’s unknown if he has inside information about the game’s progress, the prediction is reasonable given that all we’ve seen so far is a cinematic trailer. Schreier’s optimism is likely based on his understanding of game development – even careful plans can change during a project. The development of Grand Theft Auto 6 is a good example of how challenging it is to release a large, high-budget game.
It’s hard to pinpoint an exact release date for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. The trailer didn’t include a date, suggesting it won’t come out in 2027. While 2028 is a possibility, it seems optimistic. A more realistic timeframe for Casey Hudson’s studio, Arcanaut Studios, is likely 2029.
It’s still unclear when Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will actually come out, and who has the correct release date prediction. The development team, led by Casey Hudson, wants to get the game to players as quickly as possible, but they’ll likely face challenges before it’s finally released.
