       ---------------------------------------------------   
       A new Star Wars video game, "Fate of the Old Republic," was   
       announced Thursday during the 2025 Game Awards.   
      
       Arcanaut Studios unveiled a teaser trailer of the video game   
       live during this year's ceremony. According to an official   
       description, "'Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic' is a   
       narrative-driven single-player action RPG where you step   
       into the role of a Force user on a journey through a galaxy   
       on the edge of rebirth."   
      
       Developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, the project   
       will be led by "Mass Effect" trilogy director Casey Hudson,   
       who serves as game director at Arcanaut Studios.   
      
       "Working on 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic' was one   
       of the defining experiences of my career," Hudson in a   
       statement. "With 'Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic,' we're   
       telling a completely new and different story with everything   
       we've learned since - crafting an adventure about choice,   
       destiny, and the timeless struggle between light and dark.   
       It's a dream come true to once again collaborate with   
       Lucasfilm Games."   
      
       "We look for partners who have the drive and the leadership to   
       build something groundbreaking, and that's what we see in   
       Casey," said Jay Ong, president of Disney Games Group. "Under   
       Casey's direction, Arcanaut Studios is assembling a team with   
       a deep passion for storytelling and building immersive worlds.   
       Their vision for 'Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic' is   
       exactly the kind of ambitious, high-quality experience we want   
       to deliver for our players."   
      
       "The Old Republic era is a rich and beloved part of the Star   
       Wars galaxy, and we are thrilled to be exploring a fresh story   
       that we've never seen before in 'Star Wars: Fate of the Old   
       Republic,'" added Douglas Reilly, VP and GM of Lucasfilm Games.   
       "Arcanaut Studios shares our enthusiasm for the galaxy far, far   
       away, and their plan for this new narrative is inspiring. We   
       believe fans will be delighted by the journey that awaits them,   
       and we can't wait to share more."
