Related: Why KOTOR Remake Is A Timed PS5 Exclusive (When Original Was Xbox-Only) This has all been compounded by the poorly received release of Anthem in 2019, which attempted to compete with popular games like the Destiny series. BioWare has also been teasing the Dragon Age 4 game with minimal details and has recently announced another game in the Mass Effect series with a short teaser trailer. However, its recent releases were bogged down with bugs and glitches that made gameplay frustrating for players.
While this might be concerning for fans of the original game, due to BioWare's more recent history with buggy game releases, the change in developers could be an important decision for the remake's success.īioWare is well known for popular games outside of the Star Wars franchise, including the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series. However, the heavily anticipated remake will be handled by Aspyr instead of BioWare and EA. Originally released in 2003, KOTOR has remained a popular MMORPG among Star Wars fans. The classic Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has been confirmed for a remake during the September 2021 PlayStation showcase.
