The development of the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is on hold. The development team showed a demo of the game to Lucasfilm and Sony, which led to the firing of the art director and design director.

The Knights of the Old Republic remake was announced at Sony's big fall showcase last September, but developer Aspyr Media hasn't yet shared a release date. The original plan was for the game to be released by the end of 2022, but now it is expected to be released by the year 2025, according to the report.

Some at Aspyr believe that Saber could take over and that the studio is helping with development. The companies didn't reply to a request for comment.

Aspyr is familiar with the game and its sequel, as it worked on the ports of both games. The original team of the game is on board for the remake. It will be a console exclusive when it launches.

There are a lot of Star Wars games in development. Respawn is working on a sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order, Quantic Dream is making a game called Star Wars: Eclipse, and Amy Hennig is working on a new Star Wars game.
