“Anything I say to this becomes a headline,” said media-weary Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors in response to a question about theStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, fielding inquiries during an earnings presentation on Thursday. And, like, I get it. But also, can you blame fans for their eagerness to get an update on the project after so many months of silence and uncertainty?
Publisher Embracer has yet to properly comment on the situation, and we haven’t had an update - other thanthe occasional groan from Wingeforswhen asked for comment - in the year and change since then. In September,Sony was quick to assuage fan concernsafter a removed trailer seemed to imply that the KOTOR remake was in trouble.
In seriousness, we write stories about games that matter to people, and Knights of the Old Republic remains one of the most beloved RPGs of all time. When the guy in charge of the company promising to bring it back says anything at all about it, it’s literally our responsibility to inform readers. The KOTOR remake continues to be of utmost interest to our audience, so you can bet we’ll continue to hang on any word about it, or very decidedly not about it.
In the meantime, here are all of theupcoming PS5 gameswe have on our radar.
