The remake of Knights of the Old Republic, announced in 2021, is eagerly awaited by Star Wars fans. However, there has been no other news since the teaser other than worrying rumors. Kotaku today claims that Sony is in the process of: Remove any mention of the game from the site and social networks.
The Purge first started on the YouTube channel. Thus, the 2021 teaser was deleted without further ado. If the trailer is still available, The title’s standalone trailer is no longer available. Moreover, all tweets mentioning KOTOR are now unfollowable. In short, the game has truly disappeared from radar screens.
Sony deletes all mention of Knights of the Old Republic
This damn memories Virtual Predicts the worst for Saber remake. When we last heard from him, the project was in disarray. Publisher Embracer and its partner Sony would not be happy with Aspyr’s work. The death knell quickly fell: Once put on hold, development would be taken out of Aspyr’s hands and land at Saber, another Embracer subsidiary.
Such maneuvers, which are rare in video games, did not reassure fans anyway. However Sony’s secret removal of any mention of KOTOR is more than alarming. Two solutions are possible: Either the project has been cancelled, or Sony is no longer a partner and therefore KOTOR is no longer exclusive to PS5.
The truth is that dev Embracer is experiencing some financial difficulties. August studio Volition (Saints Row) closed its doors, Cristal Dynamic (Tomb Raider) laid off numerous employees, and rumors point to Gearbox (Borderlands) being sold again soon. In this sensitive context, I’m not sure a KOTOR remake is a priority…
As a reminder, Knights of the Old Republic is a Star Wars role-playing game released in 2003. Developed by Bioware, this game is considered one of the best games of the saga. Therefore, the announcement of the remake has created some expectation among fans. After all, is it a futile wait?
Playstation has officially hidden the 2021 trailer of Star War: Knights of the Old Republic on YouTube. You can clearly see the Trailer in the full 2021 Showcase Playstation Showcase, but the individual Trailer is hidden.
