Released in 2003, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a role-playing game that takes place roughly 4,000 years before the events of the original trilogy and centers on a mysterious Jedi who traverses the galaxy while attempting to defeat Darth Malak.

Treadwell also noted the game is being remade from the ground up'for a new generation with modern tech, features, visuals and more, while maintaining the integrity of the story and characters that we’ve come to cherish.' 'Why remake Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic? Well, nearly 20 years after it first debuted, the original KOTOR is still one of the most beloved games of all time,' Aspyr Media Lead Producer Ryan Treadwell said in a PlayStation blog post.

Reports of a Knights of the Old Republic remake have been circulating for quite some time, and in January 2021, it was rumored that a ' mystery studio' was involved (it's worth noting the trailer confirms the remake hails from Sony Interactive Entertainment, Lucasfilm Games and Aspyr Media).
