Rumor has it that a new Stars Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game is under development with no involvement from EA or Bioware. Multiple sources have indicated that a new KOTOR project is in the works, although it is unclear what the game will look like or who is actually working on it.
Rumors have been circulating about a new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game for years, but Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier joined a ResetEra thread about a rumored KOTOR remake and said, “Nobody’s going to guess” about the developer of the Game. Schreier’s comment was published in December 2020. At this point, EA still had the exclusive rights to the Star Wars license for video games. Now that Lucasfilm Games is a thing and other developers outside EA are confirmed to be working on Star Wars projects, the pool of potential developers has grown significantly.
The rumor trail went cold for a while after Schreier’s comment, but the Lucasfilm Games announcement has sparked the rumble of a new KOTOR game. Bespin Bulletin, a podcaster with inside information on Star Wars information, said in a podcast that it heard from unknown sources that a new KOTOR game was being developed without EA involvement. Then well-known insider Shinobi602, communications manager at Wushu Studios, interfered in another ResetEra thread discussing the possible new KOTOR title and explaining that the developer was “not as mysterious as you think. It’s just not a household name that most of the people know. “
At this point it is clear that something will happen to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic IP at some point in the future. What this rumored project actually is, however, remains to be seen. Some believe it is a remake of the original game while others are hoping for a sequel or an entirely new game in the series. Whatever it is, there could be an announcement sometime soon. Ubisoft Massive has already announced its future Star Wars game. More new projects are likely to be developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games in the near future.
