Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic come back. Aspyr Media is remaking the classic Star Wars role-playing game from BioWare and LucasArts for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC, the developer revealed Thursday at Sony’s PlayStation Showcase. Sony Interactive Entertainment will release the remake on PS5.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake is “completely rebuilt from the ground up,” Aspyr said in a press release. Development of the remake is being led by “a newly created team of industry veterans from developer and publisher Aspyr, working closely with Lucasfilm Games.”
Aspyr is known for its work on creating Mac ports for Windows games and for reviving classic games for consoles and mobile devices – games like Star Wars: Republic Commando, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Banned, and Star Wars Episode I: Runner. But the new version of DIRTY appears to be more than just a modern port with modern amenities.
Earlier this year, Aspyr was acquired by Embracer Group, the company formerly known as THQ Nordic AB and owner of Gearbox Software.
The original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was released in 2003 for the original Xbox, and it was later ported to PC and mobile platforms. A suite, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 – Sith Lords, was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released in 2004. Over the past two decades, Knights of the Old Republic has remained a beloved favorite, and it continues to be referenced by popular Star Wars media.
