Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game would be in development without EA and BioWare

A new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game is reportedly in the works, and it is not being developed by EA and BioWare – the studio behind the original game. As VGC reported, this latest rumor comes from Star Wars credited with it. . Insider Bespin Bulletin, who spoke in a recent episode of BOB The Podcast about this project that would be in development outside of EA and that “we’ll never guess who the studio is making this game.”

“Among my digs, I heard that there was a Knights of the Old Republic project in development somewhere,” Bespin Bulletin said. “I spoke to a few people and also found out that Jason Schreier had said it wasn’t with EA, and we’ll never guess who the studio is making this game.”

YESNO

Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier previously spoke about a potential KOTOR project, both on ResetERA and Twitter, and his words echo Bespin Bulletin’s comments.

In addition, Nate Najda from studio Wushu also took ResetERA in response to this to say “It’s not as mysterious as you might think. It’s just not a household name most people are familiar with.”

There have been previous rumors that a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is in the works at EA, and that it would take elements from the first KOTOR and Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and revamp the two stories to make them fit into the current canon. It’s unclear if this is the discussed project that has since been pulled from the EA or if this is an entirely new story.

Lucasfilm has also said he’s working on something from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and a report following those comments mentions that it may be a planned film.

Either way, Star Wars and Lucasfilm are entering a new era of Star Wars games as they recently announced the formation of Lucasfilm Games, under which all future Star Wars games will be branded.

One of these future games is being developed by Ubisoft Massive and indicates that EA’s exclusivity deal with Star Wars games is coming to an end. However, the studio will still be working on Star Wars games in the future.

Bespin Bulletin continued to discuss how he also heard that a bounty hunter game was also in development somewhere and that EA was working on another Star Wars project that might not be Battlefront 3.

“I don’t know if the bounty hunter game is with them or if it’s with Ubisoft,” Bespin Bulletin said. “But yeah, EA is working on stuff and there’s another unannounced [Star Wars] game at EA, which I have no idea what it is. I don’t think it’s Battlefront 3. ”
