“Working on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was one of the defining experiences of my career,” Hudson, Game Director at Arcanaut Studios stated. “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, Head 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.”
Who is Casey Hudson?
Casey Hudson being involved should be especially exciting for series fans, as Hudson was the project director for the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic — a critically acclaimed RPG from BioWare that released in 2003 for the original Xbox and PC. Not only that, but he also directed the Mass Effect trilogy.
