Knights of The Old Republic remake delayed indefinitely

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, a remake of a 2003 role-playing game, is delayed indefinitely as developers at Austin, Texas-based Aspyr Media try to figure out what comes next. Aspyr also abruptly fired the game's art director and design director this month. In a series of meetings throughout July, Aspyr's two studio heads told employees that the project is on pause and that the company will look for new contracts and development opportunities, said the people, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the situation.

On June 30, Aspyr finalized a demo of the game, known as a vertical slice, to show to production partners Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC and Sony Group Corp. The developers were excited about it and felt like they were on track, according to a person familiar with the project, so they were shocked by what happened next.


The following week, the company fired design director Brad Prince and art director Jason Minor. Neither responded to requests for comment, but Minor suggested on a social media page that his dismissal was unexpected.

One person familiar with the discussions suggested that a disproportionate amount of time and money had gone into the demo and that the project's current course wasn't sustainable. Another point of contention may be the timeline. At the outset of development, Aspyr told staff and partners it would release the game by the end of 2022, according to two people familiar with production. Developers said a more realistic target now would be 2025.

Only hope is if Sony themselves step in

Aspyr needs to hand it to someone else. They do ports of the old SW titles but I can't see them in the driver's seat of a remake of this scale. Get Bluepoint the gawds on it

I felt like maybe they knew something about Aspyr we didn’t.

You literally couldn’t even beat the KoTOR 2 port they just did.

Just copy the fallen order gameplay and add levels, more complex skill trees, traits etc.

I had a feeling about this when they released that awful KOTOR 2 remaster on the switch From what I remember it was so bad that you couldn't even complete the game. It seems like EA with the Fallen order series is the only star wars game that is doing well because that David Cage one is a mess too

They really want riots in the streets, don't they? They're already about to hit us with a second pandemic and an economic crash. The least they could do is let us have this.

They abruptly fired two directors? I wonder what happened.
