Kotor: The Knights of the Old Republic are doing a remake for PC and PS5. The game is considered the best role-playing game in Star Wars. The original game was launched 18 years ago. Despite this, fans are not tired of talking about it. The game is still considered one of the most popular games of all time. With the excessive development of the game industry, a new generation of gamers will have the opportunity to experience the remake of the legendary BioWare video game.
Star Wars: Kotor is a famous RPG video game series based on the fictional Star Wars universe by George Lucas. BioWare developed the first and third parts of the video game series. In contrast, Obsidian Entertainment developed the second phase at the request of Lucas Art Company. Lucas Art is the driving force behind all phased launches. The first part of the game was released in 2003.
The remake of the series will not be developed by BioWare, but by Aspyr, the studio that reproduced “Star Wars: Republic Commando”. And, investment and support will be provided by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Aspyr has also launched many Star Wars games, such as the first episode of Race Car Driver, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, and its sequel Jedi Outcast to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation. Even it ported Kotor for iOS devices earlier. The remake of the game was announced on September 10, 2021. Here is everything you should know about “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic”.

What is Kotor Remake?
Currently, we don’t have much information about the remake, because Aspyr revealed that they are not ready to share more details. Nonetheless, we still have some information based on Aspyr’s Ryan Treadwell interviews during the show and blog posts on the PlayStation blog.
The game will not be a remake. In fact, it will be rebuilt from scratch by developers. Kotor’s remake will have all the modern technology available in the 2021 video game. However, the characters and storyline will be the same as the original version, because one of the main goals is to “maintain the morality of the original game.”
The original game was launched in 2003 and is available for PC and Xbox. It briefly introduces the story of two Sith lords named Darth Malak and Darth Revan, who convened a fleet to destroy the Republic 4000 years before the events in the nine main areas. Later, the developer released the sequel “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: Lord of the Sith”, which was released in 2005.
According to Aspyr’s Developers, the remake will be full of innovation and faithful to the original storyline. In addition, the remake will be friendly to series fans and new generation gamers.

At the moment, we don’t know what the gameplay will look like. The original turn-based role-playing action game is deliberately based on the D20 system. According to the developers, the remake will include all modern technologies. Now, we will have to wait longer to witness what the gameplay looks like.
Is Kotor Remake exclusive to PS5?
The original game was released specifically for the Xbox console in 2003. However, later in the same year, the game was also launched for PC gamers.
Similarly, “Star Wars: Kotor Remake” will be exclusive to PS5, but it will also be released for PC gamers. We can also look forward to launching other game consoles after the exclusive period ends. Let’s hope it is six months after the release date.
