The Game Awards 2025 has officially gone live, delivering multiple world premieres and updates for new and upcoming video games. One of its most shocking announcements was made at the very start of the main show: a spiritual successor to BioWare’s iconic game franchise Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic is an all-new single-player action-RPG, acting as a sequel to the Knights of the Old Republic series in all but name.
