KOTR Remake Studio has changed (Bloomber

[John Elden Ring]

Scoop: The highly anticipated Star Wars KOTOR remake has been moved from Texas-based Aspyr Media to a Saber Interactive studio in Eastern Europe. Parent company Embracer hinted at the transition last week, and Bloomberg News can confirm it today. In an earnings report, Embracer said it is not "expecting any material delays” from the transition, but of course, developer pivots like this are rare and almost always lead to delays. The game is at least two years away from completion, say people familiar. Embracer hinted that the game was moved due to quality issues. People familiar with development say that Embracer as well as stakeholders Sony and Disney were not happy with Aspyr's progress. Some say they're optimistic about the transition in the long run

Remember when the development was paused in July: https://icon-era.com/threads/star-w...ublic-development-is-paused-indefinitely.499/

Embracer seems to have finally made the shift to a new studio develop the title.
An I take that as good news.

Still, some close to the project said they are optimistic this will lead to a better product. Decision makers at Embracer and at publishers Sony Group Corp. and Walt Disney Co., both of whom have financial interests in the game, were displeased with progress under Aspyr, which ultimately led to the transition.

This isn't surprising. Aspyr isn't a development studio and Saber was brought in months ago for support so this makes perfect sense. Still hoping for the FF7R combat system and I will be very happy.

Does Aspyr usually handle more straight "ports"?
