The widely-shared report alleges that Aspyr "abruptly fired" the remake's art director and design director. This purportedly occurred the week after the developers shared a demo of the game, for Lucasfilm and Sony to see.

The developers were apparently "excited about" the demo, believing they were "on track", but Aspyr studio heads allegedly said the demo "wasn't where they wanted it to be and that the project would be paused". You can read on to learn more, or check out Bloomberg's article for the full report.

When is the KotOR remakerelease date?

The KotOR remake release date has not been confirmed, with the report from Bloomberg stating that the project is now "delayed indefinitely" and the fate of the project "remains unclear".

According the Bloomberg's sources, the game had been aiming for a late 2022 release, "but a more realistic target would now be 2025."

What platforms can I get KotOR remake on?

The original KotOR was an Xbox exclusive, which makes it all the more jolting to learn that this will be a PlayStation 5 and PC exclusive - at least at first.

The KotOR remake was announced as a timed exclusive for PS5 and PC, and therefore should launch on other platforms after the time is up (which is normally 12 months). So Xbox will be getting it at some point, we'd expect, and there is the possibility of a Nintendo Switch release down the line too.

Can I pre-order KotOR remake?

Not yet! Fingers crossed we'll be able to at some point but, at the time of writing, there are no pre-order links available. As soon as that situation changes we will let you know right here. It might be wise not to hold your breath, though, given the latest news.

KotOR remake story

Here is the official synopsis for the game, should you need your mind refreshed:

"KOTOR, which is part of Legends storytelling, dials the Star Wars clock back to over 4,000 years before the Skywalker saga. The Galactic Republic is at its height and has just been through a major war. Jedi are plentiful, but so are the Sith, and the evil Darth Malak leads a growing legion of dark warriors. Players will go on an epic adventure and, along the way, visit different worlds, amass a party of memorable beings, and uncover their own mysterious past."

One of the most surprising games revealed in 2021 was surely the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Coming from Aspyr, the new iteration of the classic RPG was confirmed to be in development for PlayStation 5 in September 2021 via a new teaser trailer. And while at the time, Aspyr hadn't committed to a release window of any sort, a new report that has now emerged has potentially informed us of when the title may hit store shelves.

Coming by way of Bespin Bulletin, a recent article has suggested that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake may end up launching next year in 2023. The report in question outlined a number of Star Wars video games that are going to release in the future with both LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order tentatively planned to release later this year. When looking further down the road, this report then suggested that the remake of KOTOR would then "hopefully" end up coming about next year following the release of these other two titles.

At this point in time, it's hard to know just how likely this release window is for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake. When Aspyr first announced the project mere months ago, it made sure to stress that the game's development was still in the early stages. As such, 2023 almost seems like an early window for the game to arrive within. Then again, since this is a remake rather than a wholly new game, perhaps development on KOTOR will move along more quickly

For now, the one thing we do know for certain is that whenever Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake does arrive, it will be exclusive to PS5. Even though this game isn't one that is owned by PlayStation, the publisher snatched up exclusivity rights for the remake, meaning that a launch on other consoles isn't in the cards at this moment. This will likely change in the future, though, as this PS5 exclusivity is only timed.

Is Knights of the Old Republic coming to PS5?

Developed by long-time, Star Wars porthouse Aspyr Media, Knights of the Old Republic will launch first on PS5 for console audiences.

Will Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake release date?

Currently, there is no release window for the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake. With the team apparently still in the early stages of development, its likely that it will not be released until 2024 at the earliest.

Can you play Star Wars The Old Republic on PS5?

The single biggest bit of news about the game so far, and by far, is that it will be a console exclusive for Sony - the KOTOR remake is only coming to PlayStation 5, and not to Xbox. Of course, that might mean it's a timed exclusive rather than permanent but, at least at launch, it'll be a boon for PS5 fans.
