A remake of BioWare’s classic Star Wars RPG, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, is definitely in the works. This is according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who recently took part in an interview with former Game Informer video producer Ben Hanson and confirmed that those earlier rumors about Aspyr Media remastering the iconic RPG were true. Aspyr Media is the developer responsible for the mobile and iOS ports of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords.
