Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is expected to receive its next major updates in 2027, with director Casey Hudson confirming that his studio is preparing new announcements about the upcoming role-playing game. The project was revealed around a year ago, but details have remained limited since its announcement.
Speaking on The Fourth Curtain podcast, Hudson offered an encouraging update about the game’s development and revealed that players will not have to wait too long into next year for additional information.
The upcoming RPG is being developed by Arcanaut Studios and is considered a spiritual successor to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Hudson previously directed the original KOTOR and worked on the Mass Effect franchise, making his involvement one of the project’s biggest talking points.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Will Receive New Updates in 2027
During the podcast interview, Hudson revealed that Arcanaut Studios has several announcements planned for next year.
“We’re going to be gradually rolling out some new announcements and information about the game,”
Hudson explained. He also suggested that fans would not have to wait too long into 2027 before the studio shares its next updates.
The timing is particularly interesting because 2027 marks the 50th anniversary of Star Wars. Disney is planning celebrations throughout the year, potentially creating an opportunity for Fate of the Old Republic to receive greater attention.
Hudson also provided insight into Arcanaut Studios’ development process, explaining that the team works through major milestones every six months. He described the studio’s pace as demanding but productive, with substantial progress becoming visible after each development cycle.
As Hudson put it,
“Every six months we look at it and go, ‘Oh my god, we’ve gone so far.'”
He also clarified that the project is not being developed without a clear direction, suggesting that the team is steadily building towards its larger goals rather than leaving major decisions until the final stages.
However, Hudson did not reveal a release window. For now, the studio’s immediate priority appears to be sharing more information about the game throughout 2027.
