It's unclear if there are any plans to develop a sequel separate from the original Knights of the Old Republic 2 at this point, but it is sure that Switch owners will get to experience the original game in all its glory this fall. The story is still largely believed to resemble what was in the original game, but Aspyr may make some changes (which could become new Star Wars canon). The remake is expected to rework gameplay and more, with rumors indicating it will move from turn-based combat to real-time combat.
Still, it seems like an exciting new way to play one of the medium's most beloved RPGs.ĭuring the PlayStation Showcase 2021, Aspyr Media officially announced it is developing a full remake of Star Wars: KOTOR. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Remake is being developed by Aspyr, and published by Lucasfilm Games in partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 is currently set to launch for Nintendo Switch on 8 June 2022.During the latest Nintendo Direct, it was confirmed that the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republicis coming to Nintendo Switch in November. We’ll likely learn more about the game’s upcoming Restored Content DLC following the release of the game. The game’s been dogged by a lack of polish for nearly two decades, but it appears Aspyr is keen to restore the game to its intended form with its shiny, new port.
While PC players have since enjoyed a renewed version of the game, thanks to the tireless efforts of the game’s modding community, the base game is a rocky experience. A sequel, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords, was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released in 2004.
The unreleased Restored Content DLC will live on in the future as a free post-launch content.Īlso, a stand-alone pre-order store page for STAR WARS™: Knights of the Old Republic™ II – The Sith Lords will be live soon.- Aspyr May 27, 2022Īccording to reports, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 was essentially ‘rushed out the door’ for a Holiday launch in December 2004, with Obsidian allegedly being pressured to release the game despite much of its content being unfinished and buggy.
