Ever since LucasArts was shut down when Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, the fate of many Star Wars games and books was left in a state of limbo or simply abandoned in Legends.

One of the most prominent Star Wars properties that was left in a state of limbo was Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its spinoffs, with only the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic receiving updates since the Disney purchase.

Little of the Old Republic era has been discussed since 2012 beyond the announcement of the KOTOR remake in 2021, which has seen development shift from Aspyr to Saber Interactive, with a release window still unknown.

However, 2025's The Game Awards has given The Old Republic fans new hope as the award ceremony has exclusively revealed the upcoming brand-new game: Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic.
