Star wars knights of the old republic ps5 release date

The report, which comes to us from trusted gaming journalist Jason Schreier and a number of his inside sources, claims that the game is "in serious trouble" with development put "on pause" and any potential release date "delayed indefinitely".

The widely-shared report alleges that Aspyr "abruptly fired" the remake's art director and design director. This purportedly occurred the week after the developers shared a demo of the game, for Lucasfilm and Sony to see.

The developers were apparently "excited about" the demo, believing they were "on track", but Aspyr studio heads allegedly said the demo "wasn't where they wanted it to be and that the project would be paused". You can read on to learn more, or check out Bloomberg's article for the full report.

When is the KotOR remakerelease date?

The KotOR remake release date has not been confirmed, with the report from Bloomberg stating that the project is now "delayed indefinitely" and the fate of the project "remains unclear".

According the Bloomberg's sources, the game had been aiming for a late 2022 release, "but a more realistic target would now be 2025."

What platforms can I get KotOR remake on?

The original KotOR was an Xbox exclusive, which makes it all the more jolting to learn that this will be a PlayStation 5 and PC exclusive - at least at first.

The KotOR remake was announced as a timed exclusive for PS5 and PC, and therefore should launch on other platforms after the time is up (which is normally 12 months). So Xbox will be getting it at some point, we'd expect, and there is the possibility of a Nintendo Switch release down the line too.

Can I pre-order KotOR remake?

Not yet! Fingers crossed we'll be able to at some point but, at the time of writing, there are no pre-order links available. As soon as that situation changes we will let you know right here. It might be wise not to hold your breath, though, given the latest news.

KotOR remake story

Here is the official synopsis for the game, should you need your mind refreshed:

"KOTOR, which is part of Legends storytelling, dials the Star Wars clock back to over 4,000 years before the Skywalker saga. The Galactic Republic is at its height and has just been through a major war. Jedi are plentiful, but so are the Sith, and the evil Darth Malak leads a growing legion of dark warriors. Players will go on an epic adventure and, along the way, visit different worlds, amass a party of memorable beings, and uncover their own mysterious past."

  • Best upcoming PS5 games: PlayStation titles to anticipate

Now it's coming back - a total remake of the game, constructed from the ground up, has been announced, and we are absolutely flabbergasted. It's one of the most exciting gaming launches in ages, so find out all the key details right here.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake: Trailer and release date

The above trailer debuted during a Sony showcase live stream looking at the future of the PlayStation 5 in September 2021. It provoked an absolute rush of enthusiasm, not least because it opened the entire show.

It's only a short teaser trailer, though, and sadly doesn't end with any sort of a timeline for when we can expect the game.

In late July 2022, reliable Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier broke the news that the game has apparently been placed on pause by its developers, with no timeline in place for its release after the firing of some senior staff on the project.

NEWS: The Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake is indefinitely delayed, Bloomberg has learned. Developer Aspyr abruptly fired two directors this month and told staff that the project is on pause as it tries to figure out what comes next. https://t.co/3NUlKkenR6

This was then followed up in August 2022 by the news that publisher Embracer was in fact moving the game's development away from Aspyr, handing it to a team from Saber Interactive that had been supporting development already.

Scoop: The highly anticipated Star Wars KOTOR remake has been moved from Texas-based Aspyr Media to a Saber Interactive studio in Eastern Europe.

Parent company Embracer hinted at the transition last week, and Bloomberg News can confirm it today: https://t.co/eK3W9RILHN

When you add those stories up, it means we can't see the game releasing anytime next year, frankly, with even 2024 looking like a risky proposition at this stage. Brace yourself for a long wait on this one!

The single biggest bit of news about the game so far, and by far, is that it will be a console exclusive for Sony - the KOTOR remake is only coming to PlayStation 5, and not to Xbox. Of course, that might mean it's a timed exclusive rather than permanent but, at least at launch, it'll be a boon for PS5 fans.

However, we also know that the game will release on PC, so it's not like the PS5 will be the only place you can play it.

Top Nintendo Switch games 2022: Best Switch titles every gamer must own By Max Freeman-Mills · 1 September 2022

Our guide to the best Switch games - including exclusives, indies, single and multi-player titles.

Whether we still get turn-based combat at all isn't even something we can be confident about - the developers at Aspyr, which is handling the remake, have confirmed that they want to stay true to the original game's story, and to bring the gameplay up to modern standards. That could mean anything!

However, moving away from combat, we can be confident that we'll still get an RPG where you can move around various hubs talking to characters and picking up quests and equipment to keep improving your party.

We'll also obviously get a major boost to the game's look and feel - KOTOR is really old at this point, so it should be pretty jaw-dropping to see some of its most famous locations given a completely new version to explore.
