Could the much-loved ‘Knights of the Old Republic’ series be making a comeback? That certainly seems to be the case according to Gamespot.
Speaking on an episode of his podcast, which is exclusive to Patreon subscribers but has been reported on by The Star Wars Game Outpost, Robertson said he had it on “good authority” that the studio, which most recently developed the MMORPG The Old Republic, was working on “a sort of remake/revival of Knights of the Old Republic.” This, however, has reportedly now become a new Star Wars project.
“I don’t really know how that game’ll end up,” he continued. “I’ve heard that it isn’t exactly a remake anymore, but it started as a remake/revival. Now it’s kind of going from that blueprint in sort of its own original thing. I guess we’ll see what that turns out to be, but they are prototyping it right now.”
Despite using the Knights of the Old Republic name when discussing BioWare Austin’s new project, Robertson said he believed that it won’t be Knights of the Old Republic 3, and may in fact move away from that lore. Instead, he believes the game “is sort of like wiping the slate clean” and will “embrace the new Star Wars universe lore.”
