Anakin never has to live with his children which he abandoned and almost killed. In the movies, both Vader and Kylo Ren die the second they reject the Dark Side. What if the person who needs redeeming has to actually live with their actions? What if they don’t need to sacrifice their life to be a better person? The Jedi wiped Revan’s memory, he got the easy way out. It still dips into the franchise’s motif of redemption, but finally pushes the conversation forward after 40 years.

That sounds like the coolest goddamn Star Wars series ever. Oh, and to add insult to injury, this is while Revan - who slaughtered innocents long after the Exile left his army - is lauded as a hero, and the Republic tries and tracks him down to defeat the Sith instead. Even if she’s walked the path of good throughout the whole game, they just think she’s too dangerous to be kept alive. After saving the Jedi council that once banished her, they reveal that they don’t actually want her to save the day - they want her dead. Like Revan in the last game, she’s being given the chance to be redeemed. Then, at the start of KOTOR 2, the Force begins to return to her. When it’s at its best, KOTOR 2 can run circles around its predecessor, and it deserves much more respect than it’s getting. For some reason, the powers that be have decided that the first KOTOR gets a glossy remake, and its sequel, that is in much more dire need of a fresh coat of paint, gets to live in its shadow once again.

It’s about the bizarre decision-making going on here. This isn’t to rag on the devs, who have frankly done well to keep both KOTOR games alive for the past decade. And the new fans who should have seen how great KOTOR 2 can be right out the gate will likely have finished the game by then - if they didn’t leave it behind after that soft locking glitch took weeks to fix. Sure, TSLRCM is being added as DLC later down the line, but it will require you to start a fresh save.

Just like its previous mobile port, KOTOR 2 has been re-released as it was in 2004: unfinished. This includes a new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Star Wars Eclipse and Amy Henning’s new studio which is working on an original story set in the Star Wars galaxy.Related: Kenobi is Right to Look Inward, It’s the Future of Star Warsįast forward to 2022, and developer Aspyr just ported the vanilla game to Switch as is. It marks one of many Star Wars games in development at the moment. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is set to launch on PS5. It seems the remake might have been a bit too much for them to handle. Aspyr Media was supposedly quite familiar with the original KOTOR as the studio worked on the sequel and some of the game’s ports. The original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was developed by BioWare and released back in 2003. Embracer Group also owns Saber Interactive and according to some staff at Aspyr Media, there are talks of the studio taking over the project. Reports claim that Embracer Group, which now owns Aspyr Media, has also brought on board Saber Interactive to help with the project.

The report claims that Aspyr Media was originally aiming to release Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake before the end of 2022 but it has since been delayed to 2025. The game has been in development for over three years already. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) was first announced during Sony’s big September showcase last year.

It is reported that the development team showed a playable demo of the game to both Lucasfilm and Sony which resulted in the staff’s departure from the studio. According to a report by Bloomberg, the game, which is being developed by Aspyr Media is now in limbo after the art director and design director were both fired earlier this month. Development on the upcoming Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake has reportedly been put on hold.
