High reviews and a strong fan base spawned Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords by Obsidian Entertainment which doubled-down on the original game’s mechanics and added a variety of minigames and real-time combat elements. It introduced cult favourite characters, including Malak and Darth Revan who was revealed to be the player character and throws them back into a Jedi path. Its story was also set in the Expanded Universe/Legends timeline following Disney’s rebranding of the Star Wars IP and took place 4000 years before the Empire rose to power. The original acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic originally released in 2003 and was developed by Canadian studio BioWare.

There were also other plans for the Battlefront 2 studio around a “bounty hunter game” in a smaller scope.

According to Bespin Bulletin over his podcast, he stated a few people and journalist Jason Schreirer were aware a KOTOR-style game was in the making beyond EA. Of course, the development beyond BioWare and EA would also suggest it would be a completely different game. This could also include the KOTOR sequel or re-imagining which would be open from an external developer besides EA.

A fourth and brand new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game is on the way, according to VGC and Bespin Bulletin who suggest it would also be created by a different company.įollowing Disney’s announcement of their new Lucasfilm Games label for future Star Wars titles, a new pipeline was created for the 2020’s.
