Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was announced at The Game Awards 2025 last week and Game Director Casey Hudson would be working on the single-player narrative-driven action RPG.
A new blog post on StarWars.com reveals the game is "still in the early stages of development and creation." This led to some wondering if this means the game won't come out until the 2030s.
Hudson on social media told fans not to worry saying it will be out before 2030.
"Don't worry about the 'not till 2030' rumors," said Hudson. "Game will be out before then. I’m not getting any younger!"
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is in development for console and PC.

Why reveal now then?
TGA gets a lot of these kinds of way too early announcements to both generate hype and get interest from dev talent. This was basically a big "we're hiring" trailer, just as much as it was to get people excited.
This is also why it surprises me that Hudson is saying the game will release before 2030.
no kidding
My guess is that a lot of companies have way too early Teaser announcements to see what kind of interest there is in their idea if they are unsure about it. I'd wager raw view count/interaction is a pretty good way to test if a game would be profitable.
Granted this doesn't explain every game that gets shitcanned despite a lot of hype, though I chop that up to mismanagement.
I think he's been out of the game too long. There's no way something as massive (as that is the expectation with this) as this will be out in 2027 to 2029.
Unless they aren't going full on with graphics. Which is fine by me, however, I doubt they are doing that. So, good luck...
At the early stages of development and creation, but is expected to be released within the next 3-4 years?
See you in next decade then
I mean spring 2029 seems the earliest possible date.
I'd be all up for a slightly smaller scope (Think Expedition 33) production, not having dozens planets to visit or 10hours worth of cutscenes if it helps may a 4 year production schedule realistic
