EA has somewhat won back the Star Wars fanbase with the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Now, everyone is eager to see what else could be coming to the franchise in the future. What’s interesting is, a rumor has come out that the studio is currently working on a revamp of an old fan favorite.
As per Cinelinx, two sources have come out to say that a Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) game is in the works. One source was said to have reported that a full remake of the game is being developed, while the other says that it’s supposed to be a sequel to the original games.
Though Disney had decided to wipe the slate clean with the Star Wars canon, the newer shows have managed to slowly bleed in material from The Old Republic games. Granted that era of Star Wars has a following in the fanbase, it would make sense for EA to try and bank on that popularity and try to bring in some new fans.
With the Disney-era canon introducing some new elements, I think it would be best to just revamp The Old Republic and give us a story that aligns a lot closer to the new canon. Personally, I always thought the story of the Old Republic has been kind of convoluted, so I would be open to something more compact and fresh.
Keep in mind though that these updates on KOTOR are merely rumors. Until EA or Lucasfilm makes an official announcement, all we can really do is wait.
