STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC Remake is No Longer in Development

A couple of years ago it was announced that Aspyr was developing a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. A lot of fans were excited about this, and if you were one of them, prepare yourselves for disappointment! A report has surfaced saying that the remake is no longer in active development.

The news comes from Insider Gaming, gaming industry insider Jeff Grubb, who revealed during the latest episode of Giant Bomb’s Game Mess Mornings show:

“I just want to clear it up, this game is not being worked on right now. Just full-stop. This game is not being worked on in any way at any studio.”

Grubb went on to add:

“I looked into it a little bit. I don’t think this is news to most of you, I think you guys can piece this together if you’ve been listening to this and Sony stepping away and scrubbing mentions of Knights of the Old Republic from social media and YouTube. I think you can put two-and-two together, there, but just to 100 percent confirm it, this game is not being worked on right now.”

So, that’s a big bummer! According to IGN, development of the game was stalled last year after Aspyr’s demo of the Knights of the Old Republic remake “didn’t land as well as it could have when it was shown to Lucasfilm and Sony.”

The game’s art director Brad Prince and design director Jason Minor both ended up leaving the project shortly after, while the project moved from one different developer to the next before finally landing at Saber Interactive. But, I guess things didn’t work out over there either.
