Rumour — Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords Remake Was In Development As Of March 2025

According to the latest entry of GameFile from Stephen Totillo, Aspyr Media was working on a full remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords as of March 2025, although it currently remains unknown if the project is still in the works.

Totillo went into great detail surrounding the release of the Nintendo Switch version of the remaster of Knights of the Old Republic II, revealing that the Restored Content Mod was planned to release for consoles but never saw the light of day. Reason for this, according to filings, is because a “blocker” was put in place by Disney’s lawyers.

The blocker was “a prohibition on releasing the Restored Content DLC for Switch without further clearances around who actually made the mod,” which Totillo stated was a “insurmountable” roadblock that prevented its release. He then revealed that Aspyr had another project in the works codenamed Juliet, which is a “full, modern remake” of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

This project was reportedly set to include all content cut from the original version of the game, and was in the works as of March this year.

While it remains unknown what the status is on the Knights of the Old Republic II Remake, the original game’s remake is still in development at Saber Interactive, although it hasn’t been seen for some time. There is speculation that it will resurface at The Game Awards 2025 later this week.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released for the Xbox in December 2004, and arrived for the PC the following year. The game takes place 4,000 years before the events of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and follows The Exile, a Jedi Knight exiled from the Jedi Order, which has been all but wiped out by the Sith. After escaping from an asteroid mining facility, they are dispatched on a mission to seek out the remaining members of the Jedi Order to battle against the Sith.
