The troubled development of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake
Ever since Disney took over the Star Wars universe, the road has been bumpy for many projects. While there have been notable successes, numerous initiatives have faced setbacks or even cancellation. This turbulent environment also affected the gaming side of Star Wars, with a decline in the quality of Star Wars games. Among the casualties was the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, a beloved title that excited fans with the prospect of a fresh take on the iconic story.
Reports emerged last year that the remake had encountered major obstacles during its development. Allegedly, dissatisfied executives overseeing the project led to significant changes behind the scenes. With the knowledge that the development team is actively working on the remake, fans can now anticipate further updates and progress reports. Rumors suggested that Aspyr, initially assigned to the remake, may have passed off the project to Saber Interactive, potentially with Aspyr offering support work. The lack of official updates since then left fans questioning whether the remake was still in progress.
Although the remake’s active development has been confirmed, it is important to temper expectations regarding its timeline and progress. Given the limited information available thus far, it is likely that the project is still in its early stages. Significant work must be remaining before it is ready to be showcased effectively. It is not surprising that the game did not make an appearance at the recent PlayStation on Showcase. The game may not have reached a stage where they can share substantial gameplay footage or detailed updates.
With the knowledge that the development team is actively working on the remake, fans can now anticipate further updates. It remains uncertain when fans will get another glimpse of the game. However, there is hope that new information will emerge by the end of this year or in the coming year. Embracer’s commitment to the project indicates their dedication to delivering a worthy remake that will capture the essence of the beloved original while offering fresh experiences for both longtime fans and newcomers to the Star Wars universe.
