With the recent Star Wars news confirming that EA no longer holds exclusivity over the IP, the gaming world has been abuzz with what that means for a galaxy far, far away. While Ubisoft is hard at work on its own open-world Star Wars adventure<\/a>, a recent report alleges that a new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game is in the works and without EA and BioWare.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BioWare offered up its RPG magic when it gave us Knights of the Old Republic, a magic that fans have been clamoring for more of over the years. Now it looks like that dream might become a reality, though this time without the studio that brought it to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest report comes by way of VGC from reputable Star Wars insider Bespin Bulletin. During a recent B.O.B The Podcast episode, the discussion of a mysterious project came up, a project that Bespin alleges is a brand-new Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. They added that fans will “never guess” who is helming the rumored task.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Amongst my digging, I heard there is a Knights of the Old Republic project in development somewhere,” they said during the podcast. “I talked to a couple of people, and I also found out that Jason Schreier<\/a> said that it’s not with EA, and we’ll ‘never guess’ who the studio is that’s making this game.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time this report has come up, including myself that spoke with a previous writer attached to the original game back at the start of 2020. At the time, however, my source did not state that EA was distanced from this project, a project that has been rumored several times over to be a complete remake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to previous rumors<\/a>, the reported remake will blend elements from Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The reworking will blend the two stories in a way that makes sense with the current Star Wars canon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regarding who will be taking up this project if EA and BioWare end up not being involved, we don’t know which studio has that honor. With rumors of a possible Knights of the Old Republic-adapted movie and Lucasfilm confirming previously that it is working on “something” <\/a>revolving around Knights of the Old Republic, the world of possibilities remains wide open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With BioWare hard at work on Dragon Age 4, the future of Mass Effect<\/a>, Anthem 2.0, and a few other private projects that have yet to be announced, it would make sense then that the studio might not have the capacity to take a project like this on. Whether that’s the reasoning behind the detachment for the rumored project remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What do you think about the possibility of a new Knights of the Old Republic or a potential remake? Thoughts on rumors that BioWare is not involved? Sound off with your hot takes that would make any sith proud in the comment section below!\u00a0<\/p>\n
