After years of rumors and fan movement, Aspyr announced at PlayStation Showcase that they are remaking the beloved game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of the most beloved parts of the Star Wars franchise and one of the most beloved games of all time. Many of the characters in the game, specifically Darth Revan, have gone on to become fan favorites in the franchise but sadly, when Disney bought the series, they games were deemed Legends.
However, a while ago, Jordan Maison of Cinelinx reported a remake was being done from the ground up and someone from Bloomberg said the same thing not too long afterwards. Then, finally yesterday, the game was announced at PlayStation Showcase.
