After Ubisoft, another studio outside Electronic Arts would work on a
game stamped Star Wars: the sequel to the legendary KOTOR series.
According
to Bespin Bulletin, well informed behind the scenes of Star Wars, a
still unknown studio outside Electronic Arts, is working on the sequel
to the legendary Knights of the Old Republic saga. If the rumor has been
circulating for a long time about this expected return of the fans,
this is the first time that we learn that neither Bioware nor Electronic
Arts would be in the helm of the project.

The Foretold Return of the Jedi
It was indeed long expected that a
remake or a new project around Knights of the Old Republic would
eventually present itself. Even today, this is one of the best video
game adaptations in the Star Wars franchise, so it is sure that the wait
around for a new game in this series would be a sensation.
Since
the second episode in 2004, the legendary series has been orphaned. If
Electronic Arts had meanwhile wished to put it back on the front of the
stage, the attempt was finally aborted. Last year, new rumors had come
to raise the hope of a revival of the series, always at Electronic Arts.
But
with its recent loss of exclusivity on video game adaptations of the
Star Wars franchise and a new game in this universe at the controls of
Ubisoft, it seems that a new Knights of the Old Republic could finally
see the light of day ... but not by the hand of Electronic Arts or
Bioware.

'There is another one ...'
In a recently released podcast, the
knowledgeable Bespin Bulletin stated that development for such a project
was well underway: “From my research, I learned that a Knights of the
Old Republic project was in development somewhere. I spoke to a few
people and also found out that Jason Schreier [influential reporter at
Bloomberg] had announced that EA was not in the driver's seat and that
one would never 'be able to guess' which studio is doing it. '
Bespin
Bulletin also announced that a bounty hunter game is in development. It
could be the open world developed by Ubisoft, or a project managed by
another studio outside Electronic Arts. The latter confirmed working on
other Star Wars projects, however with less ambitions than what was
announced recently.
Patience and meditation are therefore
required for Star Wars fans while waiting to see what these many
distant, very distant projects have in store for us.
