Sources close to Bloomberg have indicated Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is delayed indefinitely as Aspyr Media tries to figure out their next move.
According to the article, the change happened following the removal of Jason Minor, art director, and Brad Prince, design director, last month. This prompted Aspyr to hold a series of meetings as they look for new opportunities and contracts as development is put on hold.
This all came as said sourced indicated development was rather bumpy.
Aspyr’s studio heads told staff that the vertical slice wasn’t where they wanted it to be and that the project would be paused, according to two people who were in the meeting. One person familiar with the discussions suggested that a disproportionate amount of time and money had gone into the demo and that the project’s current course wasn’t sustainable. Another point of contention may be the timeline. At the outset of development, Aspyr told staff and partners it would release the game by the end of 2022, according to two people familiar with production. Developers said a more realistic target now would be 2025.
