Casey Hudson was project lead on KotOR and Mass Effect. But he was company director for Anthem and Veilguard. So I will wait for more information before getting excited. :D

My sister was headed there for a charity event later that day. Obviously, it was canceled as a result.

Quote from: celedhring on December 13, 2025, 02:43:58 AM"Five years away" = vaporware that can potentially get cancelled anytime.

After so many failed Star Wars videogame projects I'm old and bitter.
Not necessarily, but yes, there is a high risk of cancellation with SW videogames.  Shareholders are impatient pricks.

It's still withint standard development time for a modern video game.

Quote from: Valmy on December 13, 2025, 02:46:36 AMI really do not understand why a single player RPG would require that much time to make unless they are developing the engine from scratch.
The engine, probably not.  They'll likely use one on the market.

But, they need a full story with scripts, full motion video capture, sound stage production (Celed is the expert here) on top of designing all the game, the art and the coding.

Look at the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel.  The original game has 5 years already. 
The sequel officially entered pre-production in May 2025 and is not expected until late 2030, 2031.  They announced the game in 2022 and they will be using Unreal Engine 5.

They've really been building their team since 2022...
