Star Wars: Fate of The Old Republic made a splash at last year’s Game Awards, but there’s been barely a ripple amid the stars since that reveal.
Well, that has now changed with Pascal Blanché joining its team as the studio art director. He is best known for his work on games like Assassin’s Creed (2008), Far Cry: New Dawn, and Splinter Cell: Conviction, aside from indies like Hooked On You under his belt.
He broke the news himself, via a post on Bluesky, with the following statement: “Super excited to announce that I started a new position as Studio Art Director at ArcanautStudios, where I joined forces with Casey Hudson and his amazing team to work on the next epic Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic!”
With Hudson, who is the director of the upcoming title, stating that it was going to be a “love letter” to the title that inspired it, it’s going to be interesting to see what touches Blanché creates for what’s shaping up to be a fresh new take on a galaxy far, far away.
Although Fate of the Old Republic doesn’t have a release date yet, things are certainly looking like the game is in good hands. Now, all we can do is wait to find out who’s featured in the image that Blanché shared along with his post, which you can check out below.
