As initially reported by IGN, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors commented throughout a monetary presentation that he has no touch upon the state of the Star Wars: Knights of the Outdated Republic remake. He additionally states, “Something I say to this turns into a headline.” Sure, sir. Sure, sir, it can.

A remake of the traditional 2003 RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Outdated Republic was introduced again in 2021 throughout a Ps Showcase. Since then, we’ve obtained re-releases of the 2 video games within the sequence, after which every part type of hit the rocks. The re-releases didn’t go very easily, and the intention of including restored minimize content material to the second sport (which badly wants it) was canceled.

In 2022, Bloomberg reported that the remake may need been placed on maintain. This was following the manufacturing of a demo – which reportedly didn’t go over very effectively – and the following firing of the artwork and design director.

Whereas Wingefors assertion doesn’t actually say something, the truth that it says nothing is fairly telling. If manufacturing was chugging alongside on schedule, he in all probability would have been fast to tout its promising outlook. It additionally doesn’t make clear if the undertaking is on indefinite maintain or canceled outright. So, that leaves us to take a position.

I used to be fairly skeptical of the undertaking, to start with. Aspyr and Saber Interactive are succesful studios, however they’re principally recognized for porting current video games. A remake on this scale is fairly huge, so even when it noticed the sunshine of day, I’m not sure it will meet its ambition. Now, nevertheless, Embracer has been shedding huge quantities of individuals – reportedly 900 in a single monetary quarter. I’m not saying it’s unattainable for the Knights of the Outdated Republic remake to ultimately see the sunshine of day, however I’ll imagine it after I see it.
