A Star Wars game: Knights of the Old Republic is reportedly in development without EA and BioWare

A new Star Wars game: Knights of the Old Republic is reportedly in progress, and is not being developed by EA and BioWare – the studio behind the original game. As reported by VGC, this latest rumor came courtesy of Star Wars credited insider Bespin Bulletin, who spoke in a recent episode of BOB The Podcast about this project being developed outside EA and that “‘we will never guess’ who is the studio that is making this game.”

“Among my excavations, I heard that there is a Knights of the Old Republic project under development somewhere,” said Bespin Bulletin. “I talked to some people and I also found out that Jason Schreier said he is not from EA and ‘we will never guess’ who is the studio that is making this game.”

Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier previously spoke of a potential KOTOR project, both at ResetERA and Twitter, and his words echo the comments of the Bespin Bulletin.

Besides that, Nate Najda from Wushu Studio also used ResetERA in response to this to say “It is not as mysterious as you think. It is not just a household name that most people know.”

There were earlier rumors of a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake underway at EA, which would take elements from the first KOTOR and Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and reorganize the two stories to make them fit in the canon current. It is not clear whether this is the discussed project that has been withdrawn from EA or if it is an entirely new story.

Lucasfilm also said he was working on something related to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and a report following those comments mentions that it could be a planned movie.

Either way, Star Wars and Lucasfilm are entering a new era of Star Wars games, as they recently announced the formation of Lucasfilm Games, under which all future Star Wars games will have the brand.

One of these future games is being developed by Ubisoft Massive, and signals that EA’s exclusive deal with Star Wars games is coming to an end. However, the studio will still be working on Star Wars games in the future.

Bespin Bulletin continued to discuss how he also heard that a bounty hunter game was also being developed somewhere and that EA was working on another Star Wars project that may not be Battlefront 3.

“I don’t know if the bounty hunter’s game is with them or if it’s with Ubisoft,” said Bespin Bulletin. “But yes, EA is working on some things and there’s another one unannounced [Star Wars] game at EA, which I have no idea what it is. I don’t think it’s Battlefront 3. ”
