Of course, KotOR fans are already expecting one remake. A new version of BioWare’s brilliant 2003 role-playing game, Knights of the Old Republic, has been in the works for years (firstly at Aspyr, and more recently at Saber Interactive).
This news comes from a stunning piece of investigative journalism by Stephen Totilio at Game File.
You might remember the story. Aspyr had announced that it was working on porting The Sith Lords to Nintendo Switch, with a big added bonus – it was going to restore the game’s cut content, which was missing in the original 2004 release but subsequently rebuilt by dedicated modders.
Totilio’s report dives deep into all of the official documentation from this lawsuit, going into great detail to try to understand what happened to the plans to reinstate the cut content. It’s well worth a read, and you can get a free trial to the Game File Substack to do just that for free.
One detail jumps out from the report: “A mystery project codenamed Juliet is described as a full, modern remake of KOTOR II, that is/was in development alongside the previously reported remake of KOTOR I, at least as recently as March.”
After prompting from an attorney, Lucasfilm Games vice president Doug Reilly explained for the record: “Juliet was the code name for a project where we were going to do a full remake of KOTOR II with modern art, modern gameplay, you know, keep the story and the characters and the general content of KOTOR II, but remake it for modern hardware and modern machines with updated graphics and all those kind of things. It was something we were discussing with Aspyr.”
And would Juliet include the cut content in question? In Reilly’s words: “The plan was [that] we would remake the content.”
Totilio adds: “[Lawyer Ray] Kim’s deposition of Reilly happened this past March. Juliet ‘is still technically on the road map.’ Reilly told Kim, noting that ‘we’re starting with the remake of KOTOR I.’
So, what’s the takeaway with all this? That Saber hasn’t just been working on remaking the first KotOR. Remaking the second game was also, at some point, on their to-do list.
Once all that’s done, we can get back to campaigning for a KotOR 3. On all of those, we’ll bring you more news when we have any to share.
