KOTOR Kinghts of the Old Republic (Remake)

Given the High Republic and it's reception, I wouldn't bet on it.

In which case I'll not only not get it, I'll actively discourage others as well.

At first I thought Revan would be appearing as a holographic form in the new remake, and I got very concerned haha. Would be nice if he got a cameo in the new Acolyte TV show!

As far as canonizing Revan's gender and appearance goes, I am torn. On the one hand, KOTOR is an RPG, and everyone should be free to wish that their choices for Revan and the story get reflected as much as possible.

On the other hand, Revan has been designated in old canon (legends) as a man with a long flow since the mid 2000's, via books and eventually SWTOR. This has been his image since then, and Revan has continued to remain a popular character during this time. I doubt Disney would want to mess with what fans are already used to.

From a practical point of view as well, it would be impossible to give Revan anything more than cameos if we had to leave his gender ambiguous. I am personally fine with Revan's appearance and voice in SWTOR. If I had the choice between ambiguous Revan who does not appear in any content besides the remake, or a canonized Revan who could feature more prominently in TV, movies or games, I would opt for the canonized option. Even if the decision was between an ambiguous Revan or a canon female Revan, I would prefer the canon option, even though that's not my preferred option, just so that there is certainty and continuity between the shows or films she would appear in.

I agree that canonizing is the option that would allow Disney to profit the most, but it would impossible to feature Revan's character in-depth in any other medium without canonizing him in the first place.

*looks at the sequel trilogy*  Ummmmm...

I'm not the only one!

As for SWTOR , it was always its own canons. Yes with a "s". Base game had all class stories happening in the same universe, but after that only one "class" advanced per faction and since Ossus Republic and Imperial are in parallel universes as the events can't happens at the same time.

I knew that phrase would cause some debate haha. You are right, the sequel trilogy varied from copy paste jobs (Episode 7) to tearing down the past (Episode 8). I was just injecting my hopeful mentality into my statement. From a strictly video game point of view, it's definitely been more on the conservative side (Battlefront 2's campaign and Fallen Order come to mind) compared to the new movies, so hopefully that trend continues for the KOTOR remake.

Something to keep in mind. Battlefront 2 campaign was made in part by ex-Bioware Montreal (Motive + Alex Freed who wrote SWTOR Imperial Agent storyline and SW novels) and Bio Montréal worked on SWTOR in the early days.

Fallen Order feels Disney Wars to me despite being set in-between the first two trilogy. Titanfall 2 has better writing than Fallen Order too...(same studio).


Saying that, Aspyr as Courtney Woods as Lead Writer, she started her video game dev career as a community manager for SWTOR and moved to the writing team.

If they just started working on it, they aren't going to announce anything officially until late 2022-2023.

It can't release before 2023 anyway. That is when EA 10 years exclusivity contract ends with Disney.

All the recent leaks about other companies making SW games are because Disney approved projects for release in 2023 and beyond once that contract ends.

Hello, while I am usually in the Mass Effect area I ran into this bit of news, I am glad that this is happening and I hope it is available on other consoles but, why does this game (and Dead Space) get a Remake while the Mass Effect Legendary Edition gets a Remaster and with the same bugs and glitches, and cut content and the fact that we only get one scene with A/K on Horizon but regardless, here is the link (if modders think it is better to join my thread with someone else I won't be mad):

Edit: As shown to me by a fellow commenter the game has been confirmed that this will be a timed exclusive to PS5/PC, here is the Tweet in question and thanks to the user who sent the tip:

Star War content is now overseen by Disney (hence why Bioware isn't involved), Dead Space only needed the zero g fixed as it is atrocious in the original because I understand it was a pretty solid entry, that EA was surprised that the LE did better than it did means they didn't payed attention to their user base.

It's weird hearing Queen Jenna talking in a Star Wars video game...

I'm being facetious, don't mind me.  


edit: and now I wonder what they are going to change to make it part of the new canon (which also probably mean that SWTOR is going to go back to being semi-canon, bouahahahah).
