Casey Hudson's wikipedia page says it stands for "Fate".

Hudson's new studio was founded in 2025, which means the stuff they've shown on TGA is just a bunch of concepts. There is no game, and judging by how long it takes for the modern devs to ship something, FOTOR will likely come out in 2035.

Yeah, but I'm sure the brand strategy was for the KOTOR remakes to prime the pump. Too bad they went with the lowest bidder for them.

Considering the times, the F probably stands for futa
Ephesians 6:12 KJV. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places

Here's some official links on the new studio and their debut game:

The trailer


The studio website

Press release

The initial interview with Casey Hudson

Some tidbits that caught my attention:

Their studio's 5th "Core Value" states that "[...] We know that the best team is a diverse and inclusive one [...]"
They are working in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, whatever that implies.
The Website lists 4 executive members. Not familiar with any of these but supposedly they all worked either in KOTOR or Mass Effect.
Hudson states that "Our goal is developing the kind of games I love making: emotionally powerful, cinematic adventures driven by player agency, narrative depth, and immersive world-building", as well as "innovative storytelling, memorable characters and challenging gameplay" and that the struggle of choosing between light and dark will be a core theme in FOTOR.
He keeps glazing his time working on KOTOR like it was his first girlfriend that he never got over and always wanted to get back with.
FOTOR is not a direct sequel or continuation. It is a spiritual successor set in the Old Republic era.
The Lucasfilm Games guy states that the distant past of the Star Wars universe is a perfect way to explore new territory and new parts of the galaxy.

With Bloodlines 2 out we need something else to wait for. FOTOR it is.

Look, the Normandy (0:60)

Rustyposting again? Mass Effect isn't space fantasy. It's much closer to Trek than Wars, and it isn't very close to Trek at all.

Incredible we almost got kotor 3 as a sequel to one of if not my favorite and most personally influential games of all time and instead it is an impossible thing to make now.

I would have thought that the plug would have been pulled on these red flag ludicrously big budget projects have the flops of Concord, Veilguard, Outlaws, Shadows, etc.

Mass Effect is basically just a evolution of the KOTOR formula. The prothean beacon(s) might as well be a Star Map.

Having a character whose bit is that he's so one track minded and loyal that he might as well be one of the droids he works on but is actually the hardest to max out your loyalty (influence) with him is so funny in retrospect.

No gameplay?, don't care. And here I thought devs would stop wasting money on CGI trailers in the Year of Moloch 2025.
