The remake ofStar Wars Knights of the Old Republichas reportedly been indefinitely delayed. According to a report, the studio behind the project, Aspyr Media, is trying to figure out how to continue it after several key figures left the project.
PerBloomberg, two studio heads from Aspyr told employees throughout this month that the game would be delayed as the studio is looking for new contracts and development work. At the end of last month on June 30, Aspyr reportedly managed to finish a demo for the game to show Lucasfilm and Sony.

However, too much time and money were reportedly spent on creating a vertical demo slice to show Lucasfilm and Sony that now the project itself is unsustainable. Furthermore, Aspyr let go of two employees, design director Brad Prince and art director Jason Minor.
While Aspyr reportedly aimed to releaseStar Wars Knights of the Old Republicat the end of this year, that may no longer be a realistic goal. According to some developers, a 2025 release seems more likely. Developer Saber Interactive officially hopped onto the project back in May after the studio had initially only handled outsourcing work for it. Now some of the staff at Aspyr believe that Saber could potentially take over development completely.
The originalStar Wars Knights of the Old Republicwas released in 2003 for PC and Xbox. The remake was announced during a PlayStation State of Play last September, and it will be a timed consolelaunch exclusive on PlayStation 5. Few details have been released since its first reveal, and now it might seem we’ll have to wait even longer.
