A prominent video game leaker has hinted at an impending reveal for a significant Star Wars title, noting that its name concludes with 'The Old Republic'. The tease excludes connections to ongoing projects like Star Wars: Eclipse and Star Wars: Zero Company. With The Game Awards approaching, anticipation builds for potential details on this mystery game.
Leaker's Hint
Kurakasis, a respected figure in gaming leaks with a track record of accurate predictions, shared intriguing details about a forthcoming Star Wars game. Last week, the leaker mentioned a 'big Star Wars game' unrelated to Star Wars: Zero Company or Eclipse. Over the weekend, Kurakasis escalated the buzz by stating the title 'ends with The Old Republic,' accompanied by an emoji expressing surprise.
Speculation on the Title
This phrasing has sparked widespread discussion among fans, particularly regarding Saber Interactive's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake. Announced years ago, the project has faced development challenges but received an update in March, where the studio confirmed ongoing work with the statement, 'Everything that we have talked about is still in development.' Despite the silence since, the leaker's use of 'announcement' suggests it could involve major updates or even a new entry in the Old Republic era, possibly a single-player experience.
Broader Context
Recent Star Wars gaming news has been sparse. Quantic Dream reaffirmed in October that Star Wars: Eclipse remains in active development, unaffected by external changes and progressing at full speed. Meanwhile, EA showcased Star Wars: Zero Company, a turn-based tactics game set during the Clone Wars, in April. As The Game Awards nears, the industry watches closely for official confirmation from Lucasfilm Games, though the leaker's claims remain unverified.
