Aspyr Media's KOTOR Remake Is Reportedly in Development

You'd think that there'd be plenty of excellent Star Wars games released by now, but you'd be wrong.

Although there are plenty of good games based in the Star Wars universe, the number of truly great ones is few. Among those is Stars Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, a trilogy published by LucasArts with BioWare and Obsidian Entertainment working on the first and second games, while Dark Horse Comics published the prequel comic series.

With that said, fans have been asking for a Knights of the Old Republic remake for years, which paved the way for rumors and speculations. However, it wasn't until earlier this year that the credibility of such unfounded information got a lot more solid.

A few months ago, we reported on video game industry insider Jason Schreier confirming the existence of Aspyr Media's Knights of the Old Republic remake. Fast forward to just a couple of days ago in a recent MinnMax interview, Schreir confirms again that "there is something there" when asked about the KOTOR remake.

For those that don't know, Aspyr Media is a video game development company that specializes in video game ports.

Aspyr Media has had a hand in porting multiple big AAA games to other platforms. They're also very experienced when it comes to porting Star Wars games. Previously, Aspyr Media handled the Mac and mobile versions of Knights of the Old Republic, as well as the console versions of Star Wars Episode I: Racer, Jedi Academy, and Republic Commando.
