Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic trailers for Embracer’s remake got pulled from YouTube.
Sony also deleted the tweets referencing it on the main PlayStation account.
One of the rare SIE partnership Ls. Embracer are cutting costs now. This thing is dead.

I hope Sony is not going to get blamed for this.

Embracer is trash. They bought tons of studios for their IPs but they don't want to pay for the development of AAAs. It's all outside publishers.

It's not their game, not their IP and not their studio(s).
This is all Embracer.

Who actually thought this project was a good idea? Just more nostalgia bait from folks who couldn't care less about the legacy of the series, imo. This is good news as far as I'm concerned.

My son was just asking me about this game today, he was super excited for it.... what an utter shame.

Sony 1st party shoulda done it.

Game died the moment Embracer and Aspyro started having those massive internal issues
Aspyr has never made a good game before, they've only done ports. Clearly bit off more than they could chew, were probably trying to become bluepoint 2.0

Wasnthe story that someone was purposely failing them on all of their milestones? Sadly the most storied dev house in Portugal is clearly fucked now.

Not a fan of star wars so was never interested but wasn't this announced as a playstation exclusive... would've thought they would've had a first party studio working on it

Technically this means Perfect Dark may not be safe, either. Or the other MS game being co-developed with one of the Embracer studios, for that matter.

? Wym purposefully failing? You mean like sabotaging them? Or being a dick?

Being a dick. They submitted milestone builds that were exactly as ordered but were told they failed anyway. Its something publishers use to turn the screws on devs and get out of deals they no longer like.

For example, Bethesda used to contract outside studios and then purposely fail their milestones to bankrupt and then acquire them.

Crazy how a KOTOR remake has been floating around for years and still a game of it has not happened. I know at some point Bioware wanted to work on a remake but EA passed on it. The original is highly regarded and still no remake anywhere. I never played the original but did picked up the remaster on Switch. However, never stuck with it for long only a couple of minutes. The game hasn't aged well in terms of the gameplay design and elements of it.

I think it was when EA gained the exclusive liscense. Bioware would have been on TOR, Anthem and ME4 at the time, there wasn't room for a fourth game.
