"Knights of the Old Republic" is a classic and widely regarded as the best Star Wars game ever made. The original game is currently non-canon, but it looks like a remake may be in the near future.

That was Jason Schreier in an interview with MinnMax earlier this week. He did not divulge many details, but did confirm that "there is something out there" regarding the longstanding rumor.

Jump to 2:30 and 58:30 in the video below to hear a brief talk about the game:

Schreier's involvement in the rumor goes back to a discussion on the ResetEra forum late last year about who would develop the KOTOR remake. Schreier claimed: "No one is going to guess the right answer."

Schreier's response was. [However, in an interview with MinnMax, Schreier not only confirmed that a KOTOR remake is in the works, but also that it is being developed by Aspyr. [Aspyr is known for porting games to other platforms rather than creating them from scratch.

However, the company was responsible for porting the original Knights of the Old Republic to MacOS, iOS and Android. More recently, the company has ported a number of "Star Wars" games to Nintendo Switch and PS4, including fan favorite "Republic Commando." In other words, it is not for lack of experience working on the Star Wars and KOTOR franchises.

However, there is a great deal we don't know, as Schreier did not reveal any other details about the game. For example, is this a remake of the original KOTOR, essentially the same game updated for the 2020s? Or is it a complete reboot to tie the KOTOR franchise into Disney's new canon?

If it is a reboot, will it be a sprawling RPG like it was in 2003? There are many possibilities, and details are too scarce right now to even speculate.

Nevertheless, honestly, fans must be happy either way. They have been asking for an additional single-player game of KOTOR for years. Even if it doesn't live up to the original (which would be a tall order), it should win Disney some love. Especially if they can take full advantage of the hardware available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. So, no matter what happens, and no matter what form it takes, it is almost certain that a new "KOTOR" film is in development. Let's hope it doesn't get cancelled like so many other Star Wars titles.

Meanwhile, the original "Knights of the Old Republic" can be played on PC, Mac, mobile, and Xbox consoles via backward compatibility.
