"But while I was excited as both a Star Wars fan and an RPG fan, I couldn't help but mourn the developer that was once the genre's industry leader. Fate of the Old Republic doesn't just mark the beginning of a new chapter for Star Wars video games; it feels like the definitive closing of the book on the old BioWare."
"If Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a starting point for this new era of BioWare, then it gave me hope that they're on the right path. For all its shortcomings, Veilguard showed that it still understands the core tenets of what made BioWare games so memorable: strong characters, impactful stories, and fun combat. If given the chance to make a game without the well-documented publisher meddling that hamstrung most of The Veilguard's lengthy development, I don't doubt that the current BioWare could make another classic."
Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was revealed with a brief CG trailer and positions itself as a spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic while acknowledging established lore. Casey Hudson, director of the original Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect trilogy, will lead development. The announcement generated excitement and nostalgic mourning for the original BioWare. BioWare has transformed over three decades as founding members left and a new generation assumed leadership. Dragon Age: The Veilguard demonstrated current BioWare's grasp of strong characters, impactful stories, and fun combat despite publisher meddling that lengthened development. BioWare is rebuilding to reclaim past heights.
