The KOTOR remake does not have a release date, and sources told Bloomberg said the title still needs “at least two more years to finish.” The report said some people connected to the KOTOR remake said the change in developers “will lead to a better product.”
As for why the project changed hands in the first place, the report said those in charge at Embracer, Sony, and Walt Disney were all “displeased with progress under Aspyr.”
Embracer is making moves of late, recently acquiring multiple game developers, including Tripwire and Limited Run Games. It also bought The Lord of the Rings video game and film rights by way of buying Middle-earth Enterprises.
