A Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Remake is reportedly in development

A report from cinelinx has stated that a “reimagining” of Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic is in development, saying that two independent sources have confirmed the story. 

The game is said to be a new canon remake of the original games, bringing the series into Disney’s Star Wars canon. Elements of the Old Republic has already been seen within recent Star Wars movies, comics, TV shows and novels, but remastering these Star Wars classics will undoubtedly bring the series into the official canon. 

This remake is said to be a “reimagining” of the originals, taking elements of both KOTOR I and II to deliver a modernised take on the originals. Other changes will likely be made to better fir these titles into the new Star Wars canon, though I’d hope that they don’t change too much of what made the originals great. 

EA is currently working on several new Star Wars projects, and the success of Jedi: Fallen Order has shown them that there is an appetite for more nice Star Wars gaming experiences. Sadly, at this time it is unknown how far along this new project is, though it is likely that E3 2020 will bring with it a progress report on EA’s plans with the Star Wars franchise.
