Casey Hudson confirms Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will launch before 2030, while Larian updates Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Phantom Blade Zero details its PS5 exclusivity.
As reported by IGN South Africa in their recent Daily Fix, director Casey Hudson has stepped forward to reassure fans that Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will officially launch before 2030. Social media speculation had previously leaned toward a much longer wait, which is a fair assumption given that Hudson's studio only formed this past summer, modern triple-A development cycles routinely stretch for years, and the ghost of the indefinitely delayed KOTOR remake still looms large in the community memory. Hearing a definitive timeline straight from the top brings some much-needed clarity for players who have been craving a return to this beloved era of the franchise.
Meanwhile, Larian Studios is keeping busy on multiple fronts. They just rolled out a fresh update for console versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2, bringing specific optimizations for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and even the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This technical refresh arrives hot on the heels of Larian announcing their next major project, simply titled Divinity, during the recent Game Awards. It is a welcome quality-of-life win for fans revisiting the studio's older catalogue while waiting for the next big tactical RPG journey.
Speaking of the Game Awards, Phantom Blade Zero generated plenty of buzz with a striking new trailer, though platform exclusivity details have emerged for players on different systems. If you game primarily on Xbox or Nintendo hardware, you will have to wait a bit longer because Phantom Blade Zero is locked in as a PS5 console exclusive for at least one year. For cross-platform players, it is another reminder of how timed exclusivity continues to shape where and when we experience the industry's biggest new action titles.
