A reliable leaker is stirring up the Star Wars gaming community with hints about a “big” announcement coming soon—and the clues point toward something related to The Old Republic.
What We Know About the Star Wars Game Leak
Kurakasis, a video game researcher and leaker with a solid track record of accurate predictions, first teased the news last week. Here’s what they’ve said:
- There’s a “big Star Wars game” announcement coming
- It has “nothing to do with Star Wars: Zero Company or Eclipse”
- The game’s title “ends with The Old Republic” (posted with a wide-eyed emoji)
Context: Kurakasis has correctly leaked game announcements before they went public, so this isn’t just random speculation.
Is It the KOTOR Remake?
Most fans immediately jumped to one conclusion: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake by Saber Interactive.
What’s Happening With the KOTOR Remake?
The project has had a rocky journey:
- Long in development with reported troubles behind the scenes
- March 2024: Saber Interactive broke its silence to confirm “Everything that we have talked about is still in development”
- Since then: Pretty much radio silence
The interesting detail: Kurakasis specifically used the word “announcement,” which could mean:
- Major news about an existing game (like the KOTOR remake)
- A completely new game we don’t know about yet
Could It Be a New Old Republic Game?
Some fans are hoping for a brand-new single-player Old Republic game instead of the remake. Without official word from Lucasfilm Games, though, it’s all speculation at this point.
Timing matters: With The Game Awards happening in just days, we might get answers very soon.
Other Star Wars Games Currently in Development
For context, here’s what else is cooking in the Star Wars gaming universe:
Star Wars: Eclipse
- Developer: Quantic Dream
- First revealed: 2021
- Status: Still in development, confirmed in October 2024
- October 2023: Development described as “simmering”
- 2024: Studio CEO confirmed work continues “at full pace” despite industry cuts
Star Wars: Zero Company
- Developer: Bit Reactor and Respawn
- Type: Single-player turn-based tactics game
- First look: April 2024
- Setting: “Gritty and authentic original story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars”
- Confirmed: Back in 2022
When Will We Find Out?
The Game Awards is happening this week, which is prime time for big gaming announcements. If Kurakasis’s leak is accurate, we could see the reveal within days.
Bottom Line
A credible leaker is hinting at a major Star Wars announcement involving something called “The Old Republic.” Whether it’s the long-awaited KOTOR remake finally showing up or an entirely new game, Star Wars fans should keep their eyes on The Game Awards.
Pro tip: Manage your expectations until there’s official confirmation from Lucasfilm Games—but it’s definitely okay to get a little excited about the possibilities.
