• Director Casey Hudson says Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic (FOTOR) will be released before 2030
• Hudson took to X / Twitter to tell fans not to worry about the "not till 2030" rumors
• The studio behind FOTOR was founded this year, and the game is in early development, but Hudson says the game will be out before 2030

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic director Casey Hudson has assured fans that the game will be released before 2030.

In case you missed the announcement at The Game Awards, Hudson, the Mass Effect trilogy director, is officially returning to the Star Wars galaxy with his new game, Fate of the Old Republic, the spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic.

Created in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games and developed by Arcanaut Studios, Fate of the Old Republic is currently in early development, which means we don't have a release date just yet, though a lot of fans are hoping it will be a PlayStation 6 title.

Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, however, has speculated in a BlueSky post that a 2030 release window is an "optimistic guess" and that it might be a PlayStation 7 game.

Due to the typical AAA development cycle and the fact that Arcanaut Studios was founded in July, it does seem that FOTOR is a while off from release.

However, in a new post shared on X / Twitter, Hudson told fans not to worry about the "not till 2030" rumors and that the game will be released before 2030.

"Don’t worry about the 'not till 2030' rumors. Game will be out before then. I’m not getting any younger!" the director said.
