Titled the “vertical slice,” Aspyr revealed a “finalised” demo to partners Sony and Lucasfilm, who were not satisfied with the results. Previous reports noted that the KOTOR remake went through an internal demo showcase.

But Bloomberg claims it's the KOTOR remake that Embracer was referring to. At the time, the company never mentioned the project's name or the studios involved. We are not expecting any material delays for the title based on this transition,” Embracer Group's financial report reads. This was done to ensure the quality bar is where we need it to be for the title. “One of the Group's AAA projects has transitioned to another studio within the Group. The transition shuts down any hope of Aspyr Media employees continuing development on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake. The KOTOR remake had been in development for three years, with plans to launch by end of 2022 on PC and PS5. Embracer Group, which owns both studios, hinted at the transition last week in its financial earnings report.

Late last month, production on the title was reportedly paused until further notice, leading to two top employees at Aspyr Media getting fired. According to a Bloomberg report, the hotly-anticipated role-playing game will now be developed by Saber Interactive's Eastern European studio. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is changing studios.
