Casey Hudson, director of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, has dismissed rumors of a 2030 release for the recently announced single-player RPG. Following speculation from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, Hudson reassured fans on X that the game—revealed at The Game Awards 2025 as a Knights of the Old Republic spiritual successor—will arrive sooner.
Rumor Context
Shortly after the game's unveiling at The Game Awards 2025, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier speculated that a 2030 release might even be optimistic, citing Arcanaut Studios' recent founding in July 2025 and typical AAA development timelines.
Hudson's Response
Casey Hudson, who directed the original Knights of the Old Republic and now leads Arcanaut Studios, quickly addressed the claims on X (formerly Twitter): 'Don't worry about the "not till 2030" rumours. Game will be out before then. I’m not getting any younger!' This provides reassurance amid earlier estimates suggesting 2028 or later.
No official release window has been confirmed, but Hudson's statement signals steadier progress on the narrative-driven action RPG set in the Old Republic era.
