Despite only negative news following its announcement, Disney still believes that the Force could be strong with this one. In an exclusive interview with\u00a0Axios, published on Dec. 11, Sean Shoptaw (Disney\u2019s Vice President of Gaming) provided the latest update from the entertainment goliath on the\u00a0KOTOR Remake. \u201cNot a lot I can say on that point for some hopefully obvious reasons,\u201d he responded when questioned about the stuttering project. \u201cKOTOR\u00a0is obviously an incredibly popular game, one that we are incredibly proud of and think that there\u2019s still a lot of demand for. I\u2019ll leave it there.\u201d For such a concise answer, it is loaded with intrigue and bemusement. Let us start with the obvious; of course, people still want a KOTOR remake. We are enjoying a time in gaming where classics are given a new lease of life so why would you not want to capitalize on such a market with a game heralded with near-perfect scores back in its day? Fans are so eager for new Old Republic content that there was even a short-lived animation project that garnered millions of viewers in 2021.\u00a0 The part which catches the eye is that mention of \u2018obvious reasons\u2019. This is a not-so-subtle allusion to the troubles currently being suffered by developers Saber Interactive and its owner Embracer Group. If that second name sounds familiar to you, it should. 2023 has been PR fire after PR fire for the holding company, the latest disaster arriving just days ago with the second demise of Free Radical.\u00a0 For such a concise answer, it is loaded with intrigue and bemusement. Let us start with the obvious; of course,\u00a0people still want a KOTOR remake. We are enjoying a time in gaming where classics are given a new lease of life, so why would you not want to capitalize on such a market with a game heralded with near-perfect scores back in its day?

If that second name sounds familiar to you, it should. 2023 has been PR fire after PR fire for the holding company,\u00a0the latest disaster arriving just days ago with the second demise of Free Radical.\u00a0 Now, this is not to suggest that we will never see the hugely-anticipated return to the story of Darth Revan reach the light of day; quite the opposite. Shoptaw's refusal to consign this remake to the history books means we'll likely still see it at some point, though whether its developed by Saber remains to be seen. As we have covered separately,\u00a0Disney is in a position where it is content with itsIPs being handled out-of-house. If faith has been lost in Embracer Group, perhaps hope shall placed with EA instead. As unlikely as it would be, I\u2019m sure many would be chomping at the proverbial bit to see BioWare step in. Creators of spiritual successor\u00a0The Old Republic, such a move would be returning to roots in a glorious homecoming of sorts. For now, the waiting game continues. I think we\u2019re all just hoping for the next official update to be a more positive one.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/27190100\/88e0d421f3d6e8161edcd820ecb7a2c0-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1064658"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2333"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1064658"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1064658\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1064731,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1064658\/revisions\/1064731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1064658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1064658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Despite only negative news following its announcement, Disney still believes that the Force could be strong with this one. In an exclusive interview with\u00a0Axios, published on Dec. 11, Sean Shoptaw (Disney\u2019s Vice President of Gaming) provided the latest update from the entertainment goliath on the\u00a0KOTOR Remake. \u201cNot a lot I can say on that point for some hopefully obvious reasons,\u201d he responded when questioned about the stuttering project. \u201cKOTOR\u00a0is obviously an incredibly popular game, one that we are incredibly proud of and think that there\u2019s still a lot of demand for. I\u2019ll leave it there.\u201d For such a concise answer, it is loaded with intrigue and bemusement. Let us start with the obvious; of course, people still want a KOTOR remake. We are enjoying a time in gaming where classics are given a new lease of life so why would you not want to capitalize on such a market with a game heralded with near-perfect scores back in its day? Fans are so eager for new Old Republic content that there was even a short-lived animation project that garnered millions of viewers in 2021.\u00a0 The part which catches the eye is that mention of \u2018obvious reasons\u2019. This is a not-so-subtle allusion to the troubles currently being suffered by developers Saber Interactive and its owner Embracer Group. If that second name sounds familiar to you, it should. 2023 has been PR fire after PR fire for the holding company, the latest disaster arriving just days ago with the second demise of Free Radical.\u00a0 For such a concise answer, it is loaded with intrigue and bemusement. Let us start with the obvious; of course,\u00a0people still want a KOTOR remake.

Shoptaw's refusal to consign this remake to the history books means we'll likely still see it at some point, though whether its developed by Saber remains to be seen. As we have covered separately,\u00a0Disney is in a position where it is content with itsIPs being handled out-of-house. If faith has been lost in Embracer Group, perhaps hope shall placed with EA instead. As unlikely as it would be, I\u2019m sure many would be chomping at the proverbial bit to see BioWare step in. Creators of spiritual successor\u00a0The Old Republic, such a move would be returning to roots in a glorious homecoming of sorts. For now, the waiting game continues. I think we\u2019re all just hoping for the next official update to be a more positive one.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/27190100\/88e0d421f3d6e8161edcd820ecb7a2c0-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1064658"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2333"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1064658"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1064658\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1064731,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1064658\/revisions\/1064731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1064658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1064658"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1064658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
