Knights of the Old Republic is one of Bioware's most beloved RPGs—a game that capitalised on the promise of the Star Wars extended universe in so many [[link]] inventive ways that it spawned an entire fandom dedicated to that slice of a galaxy far, far away. So when a in—god—2021, we were all pretty excited. Then it was consigned to the inferno of development hell.
In July of 2022 it . No, wait, it was actually . Then radio silence followed, so much in fact that the CEO of Embracer Group—the giant monolith that had also and would later , kill a , and to keep the lights on—. But don't worry, it's totally not dead—, wait, no, Embracer's . I want to get off Lars Wingefors' wild ride.
Now you're all caught up to speed and suitably spiritually damaged, here's the latest news: It's not getting canned in the sale, according to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier (thanks, ) who confirmed on : "Yes, that's going with Saber". As pointed out by a commenter, however, it's likely one of the "retained joint projects … a previously [[link]] announced AAA game based on a major licence" named in the sale: "It’s the only game that fits," Schrier writes. "Not sure what kind of deal they struck there."
In a yesterday, Embracer's CEO Lars Wingefors was asked about said "AAA game based on a major licence", and whether it was "for the coming 12 months", he replied: "No, I think that kind of game needs some deep love and respect, so. Without giving full colour, I think it's some time left until that game is released."
So there you have it. We're still at least a year [[link]] out from what should have been a relatively straightforward shot. I wouldn't personally hold out hope for a 2025 release either, just considering how things have panned out so far, but hey. Miracles do happen, maybe we just need to trust in the force.
