If we put aside the original trilogy for Star Wars, very few things manage to gather all of the fans under one roof. It’s been nearly 20 years since the Knights of the Old Republic, which is perhaps an expert on this subject, came out. In the past period, it was announced that Aspyr would remake KOTOR to be the long-term PlayStation 5 special game.
After this announcement, small shows of affection, a number of aunts were pulled out and we started to wait for news from the game. News has come from the game, but it is not very encouraging, dear Gamewalkers…
According to the news first announced by Bloomberg, Texas-based Aspyr Media has suspended the reproduction of KOTOR due to the problems it has created within itself. Recently, the studio’s art director and design director were also fired. As such, there were no qualified staff left in the studio to work for the game. So Aspyr, who stopped the process, started recruiting new staff.
The exclusive gaming deal between Star Wars and EA expires in 2023. After 2023, companies such as Quantic Dream, especially Ubisoft , will start to make new Star Wars games. EA will continue its own series, the Star Wars Jedi series. Among all these new productions, KOTOR was undoubtedly the most exciting game. However, it seems that we will not hear from Revan and his friends for quite some time.

Eclipse, produced by Quantic Dream, another new Star Wars game, faced a similar postponement. News from Quantic Dream announced that the game could be released after at least 3-4 years due to lack of personnel.
While Star Wars movies have been the fearful dream of the actors, now the games are starting to become the fearful dream of the producers. Aspyr was normally expected to bring the game up to the beginning of 2023, but the latest news is that even if everything goes well, we won’t be able to get KOTOR before 2025. Let’s see if one day we’ll really be able to play a new Knights of the Old Republic.
