Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake Trailer PS5Subscribe to VGC on YouTube According to the report, Aspyr was relieved of development duties because its owner Embracer, and production partners Lucasfilm and Sony, were all displeased with the progress of the game under its direction. Embracer had confirmed in May that Aspyr parent company Saber was also working on the game, and some of Bloomberg’s sources said at the time that they believed it was possible the studio had taken over development of the project entirely. While not mentioning the title by name, Embracer seemingly confirmed last Thursday that the game had switched developers. “One of the Group’s AAA projects has transitioned to another studio within the Group,” it said. “This was done to ensure the quality bar is where we need it to be for the title. We are not expecting any material delays for the title based on this transition.” Announced last September for PS5 and PC, the game had been in development for three years at Austin, Texas-based Aspyr, which originally planned to have it ready for release by the end of 2022.
