Rumored Star Wars Announcement for The Game Awards Could Be Related to The Old Republic

by

A recent rumor suggests a new Star Wars announcement might relate to The Old Republic. It’s unclear whether this refers to the popular Star Wars: The Old Republic online game, or the much-delayed remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which has faced significant development challenges.

Recently, a rumor started circulating that a new Star Wars game might be unveiled at The Game Awards. This isn’t expected to be either Zero Company or Eclipse, which have already been announced. This sparked a lot of guessing about what the game could be – some thought it might be Star Wars Jedi 3, while others speculated it could be the untitled game Amy Hennig is working on. Another possibility is a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic by Saber Interactive. This remake was originally announced in 2021, but we haven’t heard much about it since, so a new reveal would be a logical step.

Leaker Says New Star Wars Announcement Ends With The Old Republic

Kurakasis, a user on X (formerly Twitter), was the first to suggest a Star Wars game announcement at The Game Awards. They later clarified that the game’s title includes the words “The Old Republic.” This sparked a lot of excitement online, with many people immediately thinking it refers to the Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) remake. A public reveal of the KOTOR remake would be a major event for The Game Awards, and with Saber Interactive continuing to confirm the remake is still being developed, a reveal at the event seems possible.

While many fans immediately thought the announcement hinted at a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, others pointed out it could easily refer to Star Wars: The Old Republic. That game still receives updates and new content from its developer, Broadsword, so it’s a possibility. Some even speculated about a console version of the 2011 MMO, but whether that’s significant enough to be revealed at The Game Awards is questionable.

Following the reaction to Kurakasis, another interesting fan theory emerged. For a long time, rumors have circulated about Creative Assembly developing a Total War Star Wars game, but nothing official has been announced. Since the game’s name and time period are still unknown, some fans speculate it could be set during the Old Republic era and titled accordingly. The fact that it wasn’t revealed during Total War’s recent 25th anniversary livestream is the main argument against this idea, as that would have been a perfect opportunity for an announcement. However, it’s important to remember this is all speculation, and there’s no guarantee a new Star Wars game will even be announced at The Game Awards. It’s best to approach these rumors with a healthy dose of skepticism, no matter how exciting they seem.

If the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is released, it will be the first time the game has officially appeared since 2021. Some details about the remake leaked earlier this year, but those seem to be from the work done by Aspyr before Saber Interactive took over development in 2022. This remake is currently one of the most eagerly awaited Star Wars projects, and fans would be happy to know it’s still in development, even if it’s taking longer than expected.
