Sony has removed trailers of the upcoming Knights of the Old Republic remake from its YouTube and social media accounts, citing expired music licenses as the reason. This development adds to the already troubled history of the project, as the original developer, Aspyr Media, was replaced by Saber Interactive. Additionally, Embracer, the company behind the remake, has been facing financial difficulties and has recently shut down Volition, the maker of Saints Row. Sony’s gradual removal of any references to the game suggests that something has gone wrong in the development process, raising concerns about its future.
While the game has not been officially canceled, the removal of trailers and the troubled production history has led to skepticism about its release. It is uncertain if the Knights of the Old Republic remake will ever see the light of day, and even if it does, it may be several years away. The negative discourse surrounding the project has further dampened anticipation, and fans are advised not to get their hopes up. The fate of the game now rests in the hands of Embracer, who will need to provide clarity and reassurance about its status and progress.
