Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic announced from former Mass Effect dev

Star Wars fans are hardly bereft of choices when it comes to great video games featuring lightsabers, but the world imagined by George Lucas is more than a playground for combat. Few series have understood this better than Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which was crafted in the old-school computer role-playing game tradition that made companies like Obsidian and BioWare famous. Now, after a number of starts and stops, The Game Awards has revealed that fans will soon be able to play a spiritual successor to the series. It’s called Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. Here’s the first trailer.
