More details are yet to be revealed and you know that I won’t stop digging for news. The official announcement from September 9 only confirmed that the game is in (early) development. When will KOTOR Remake release? There’s no information at this point when Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Remake will be released. You may even recognize some of the characters’ names. If you are or have previously played SWTOR, you will be familiar with some of the events from KOTOR since they are included in one way or another in SWTOR’s lore. I think it would be unwise to reveal KOTOR’s plot here, because a whole generation that loves Star Wars today has probably never played this title when it released, nearly twenty years ago. The events in SWTOR take place quite some time after the ending of KOTOR, but it is exactly the same Legends universe and the game continues to build on the lore KOTOR has already established. Star Wars The Old Republic, the Massively Multiplayer Online RPG (MMORPG) is a direct descendant of KOTOR. KOTOR is massively responsible for a large branch of the comic books that have been released since the early 2000s.

Something was always familiar, but also very different.
#STAR WARS KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC REMAKE XBOX LICENSE#
Since Disney took over the license we have seen them digging a bit into the Legends and borrowing content from there, but whatever they touched, was never the same as we knew it from the original source. KOTOR now belongs to what Disney calls “Star Wars Legends” – tales that may or may not have happened.

Not just in the Star Wars franchise, but over all. Today it is one of the most critically acclaimed video games ever. KOTOR was originally developed by BioWare and released in 2003. More about Aspyr – further down in this article. With classics such as Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy they firmly established themselves on the Star Wars video games scene. This is an incredibly heavy burden on any team, but the guys from Aspyr are probably one of the best choices for that. With completely new heroes, events and stories it tells. The narrative takes you about four thousand years before the Star Wars movies. What is KOTOR? Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic is a single player role-playing game from a third-person perspective in which you can control one main character and their companions. Unlike the KOTOR fan remake that was forced to shut down soon after it became popular, this is an official remake. The studio responsible for this is Aspyr in cooperation with Lucasfilm Games. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is being remade. The studio working on it is no other than Aspyr!Īfter about an year of heavy rumors one of the worst-kept secrets in the Galaxy has finally been confirmed.
