I guess Aspyr probably wasn't ready after all.

Damn, sounds like something personal went down.

Sounds like the vertical slice they pitched to Sony and Disney a few weeks ago was either shit or unrealistic.

On June 30, Aspyr finalized a demo of the game, known as a vertical slice, to show to production partners Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC and Sony Group Corp. The developers were excited about it and felt like they were on track, according to a person familiar with the project, so they were shocked by what happened next.

The following week, the company fired design director Brad Prince and art director Jason Minor. Neither responded to requests for comment, but Minor suggested on a social media page that his dismissal was unexpected.

At the outset of development, Aspyr told staff and partners it would release the game by the end of 2022, according to two people familiar with production. Developers said a more realistic target now would be 2025.

Yeah it's definitely one those "We'll announce this super early to get the hype announcement. If it takes several years to release or not come out at all oh well."

I wonder what happens if this project is cancelled though. Will Sony still have publisher rights on any KOTOR Remake? If so that's really going to shrink the possibility of this coming out. I don't think they have any developers to give it to and everyone else is either owned by a third party publisher or Microsoft.

Not surprising sadly.

They've done well with ports and the like, but a full game from the ground up was a giant leap from anything they'd done before.

Do hope they can sort it out though.

They should just make a new KOTOR game anyway instead of a remake that would probably end up disappointing everyone anyway because they would change things people wanted to keep, keep things people wanted to change, and the people wanting things wouldn't overlap.

I think even that would be tricky. What does a new KOTOR game look like now? There's an MMO that progressed a lot of the story. None of the KOTOR stuff is canon under Disney either. So there's even a lot of potential controversial choices that could still be made. Do they keep it non-canon and try to work around the originals and MMO or just make an entirely new KOTOR game that disregards everything and fits into the new canon? Pretty tricky.

Maybe they could do a KOTOR prequel about Revan in the Mandalorian Wars lol

This.

A delay wasn't unexpected given how quiet things have been since the announcement, but "indefinite" is ominous as fuck.

They should either make the original KOTOR 3 that Obsidian pitched, or just make a New Republic game that takes place 1,000 years after the movies and tell a brand new story.

One of the things on the list of things the game industry should stop doing is announcing shit years way too early in advance. Like if it isn't coming out in 12 months or less then keep it locked up

Functionally none beyond Revan existed and was an ancient Sith Lord.

See I was an Old Republic game that feels like it's a different era. KOTOR's world didn't feel thousands of years older than the movies. It felt like Bioware wanted to create a Star Wars game in a classic Star Wars setting but didn't want to deal with all the landmines that was EU continuity at the time so they just dropped it to an untouched era. But it never felt like it was old.

The new KOTOR should take advantage of the canon wipe and really make it feel like we are in a different time.

Game company founded 25 years ago still has yet to technically make a game.

This was their moment to break through beyond just ports , and it was WAY over the heads

Definitely vaporware now.

Disney would need to work with EA for that to happen. Sony took on publishing duty for this one. Which I did find a bit odd. EA has Bioware and Microsoft has Obsidian who at least worked on the sequel. Sony doesn't really have anyone with experience in a WRPG like KOTOR or worked with anyone who has. I suppose maybe this project was them trying to cover that gap.
