You could’ve been forgiven for thinking that, given the focus upon the The Old Republic MMO and other Star Wars video game projects, there wasn’t a chance we’d see Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3 come to light.
However, developer Obsidian has revealed that KOTOR 3 is a game that many of its staff are interested in working on, with game designer Josh Sawyer telling IGN: “I think there are a lot of the people at the studio that would like to do Knights of the Old Republic 3. think at that time LucasArts was really focused on what they considered to be extreme, extreme blockbusters and even though the Knights of the Old Republic series was pretty successful, it just never seemed like something that was going to happen at that time. Having said that, a lot of time has passed. I know there are a lot of people at the studio who are really interested in doing a project like that.”
Producer Brandon Adler also stated interest in developing the sequel, saying: “It’s something that comes up every three to six months. We bring it up and talk about it. Not anything terribly serious, but we just say ‘wouldn’t it be cool if?’ and just develop some ideas for what we’d do with that stuff.”
While this is hardly confirmation that the game is in the works, it’s good to know that the Knights of the Old Republic series hasn’t been forgotten about. Hopefully Obsidian will be the ones to answer our prayers sooner rather than later.
