Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake – Is the Force with It?
Hey there, gamers! We’ve got some news that might burst your Jedi bubble. It seems like the highly anticipated Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is stuck in a Force chokehold. Yeah, I know, it’s a bummer.
According to Jeff Grubb, the master of insider tidbits, the KOTOR remake is currently on pause. And when I say pause, I mean complete halt. Grubb confidently stated, “This game is not being worked on right now, full stop. This game is not being worked on in any way, at any studio.” Now, as much as we love Grubb’s insights, let’s take this with a pinch of salt. But let’s be honest, the road to bringing back the beloved KOTOR hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride so far.
A Rocky Road for KOTOR
Last year, a report hit us like a lightsaber to the gut, claiming that the remake was indefinitely delayed. To make matters worse, both the game’s art director and design director were fired around the same time. Ouch, right? And earlier this year, a financial report hinted that the project wasn’t dead in the water just yet, but it didn’t shed much light on its progress. So, Grubb’s recent report doesn’t exactly fill us with hope.
Even the parent company of the KOTOR remake’s developer, Aspyr, seems to be playing coy. During an earnings presentation, Embracer Group’s CEO Lars Wingefors gave a vague response when asked about the game’s status. He said, “I notice that anything I say about this becomes a headline, so that is my only comment.” Well, that’s not exactly what we wanted to hear, Lars.
May the Force Be with the Remake
Let’s not forget that the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake was announced two years ago with much fanfare. But since then, it’s been radio silence, except for reports of its troubled development. If the game ever sees the light of day, it’s set to release on PC and PS5. So, we’ll just have to keep our lightsabers crossed and hope for the best.
Alright, gamers, stay tuned for more updates on the KOTOR remake. May the Force be with us all!
