STAR WARS™ - Knights Of The Old Republic™

Like any large franchise, Star Wars has seen its name put on many products outside of the core trilogy of trilogies, from spin-off TV series like The Mandalorian to novels that have mostly been thrown out the window when Disney declared them to be non-canon. And, of course, there are computer games, from flight simulations to RPGs. Of the latter kind, perhaps Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is one of the most popular and the current generation of gamers will no be able to play them anywhere thanks to a long-overdue mobile port.

Aspyr and Lucasfilm announced today that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II will be getting an Android, iOS, and iPad mobile port later this month. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords is the sequel to BioWare's first KOTOR RPG adventure, and is fondly remembered as one of the best uses of the Star Wars video game license to this day by fans. Directed by Casey Hudson. With Jennifer Hale, Raphael Sbarge, Rafael Ferrer, John Cygan. A republic soldier, training to become a Jedi Knight, is given the task of halting the conquest of Darth Malak by discovering the location of a weapon known as the Star Forge. Aug 26, 2020 Widely considered BioWare's Magnum Opus of RPGs, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic still manages to prove itself a classic even in 2020, a full 17 years after its initial release. In the game, players take on the role of Revan, a former dark lord rehabilitated by the Jedi Order 4,000 years before the events of A New Hope.

The Knights of the Old Republic, more popular among fans as KOTOR, takes place 4,000 years before the events of the much-derided Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The first game launched in 2003 under BioWare, which was then better known for its D&D titles, but it would only be in 2014 when the game would be ported to Android and iOS. It would take another six years, unfortunately, for its sequel to follow it there.

KOTOR II – The Sith Lords is perhaps the better known of the two, in part due to its narrative depth and a memorable cast. It became one of the examples of good game storytelling, in no small part thanks to the famous and infamous game designer and writer Chris Avallone. Placing it in more hands via mobile devices can give younger gamers a taste of that classic story-heavy gaming experience.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is set a mere five years after the first KOTOR and follows the adventures and misadventures of an exiled Jedi Knight. Players get to choose between light or dark sides of the Force and whether to help or thwart the nascent Republic’s goals. Of course, given the events that followed thousands of years later, we all by now how it turned out.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords lands on Android and iOS on December 18 and was ported by Aspyr, the same developers who brought KOTOR and a good number of PC games to mobile platforms. Unsurprisingly, it will come with a hefty $14.99 price tag, which, given the game’s origins, already includes the complete game, no IAPs attached.

The timing is good for anyone who has an itch to play a Star Wars game in the wake of the popularity of Season Two of The Mandalorian on Disney+. Disney’s Lucasfilm has licensed Aspyr to build numerous Star Wars ports during the past year. Retro games are a big market these days, and Aspyr has specialized in finding new markets and platforms for those games based on familiar brands and licenses.

The game will debut as a $15 game on iOS and Android. It’s a single-player role-playing game that developer BioWare originally created for the PC and Xbox in 2004. It says a lot that mobile devices are now capable of running games that once debuted on the PC, said Aspyr’s Elizabeth Howard in an interview with GamesBeat.

“Fans have long demanded and asked for this, so we’re pretty pumped to get it to them,” Howard said. “Taking a PC game and making it into a mobile game is one of the things that Aspyr is uniquely positioned to do. We have a ton of experience with that and we have proprietary libraries to do that. This fits really well into our wheelhouse.”

The game is set five years after the events from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (which came out in 2003). Sith Lords have hunted the Jedi to the edge of extinction and are on the verge of crushing the Old Republic. With the Jedi Order in ruin, the Republic’s only hope is a lone Jedi struggling to reconnect with the Force. As this Jedi, players will be faced with the galaxy’s most dire decision – follow the light side or succumb to the dark.

You can choose to play on the light or dark side of the Force in the game. The choices made will affect the player’s character, their party, and those who may join the quest. You can add characters to your party including favorites like HK-47, Canderous Ordo, and Kreia. The game is optimized for mobile play with touchscreen controls. Howard said she was pleased with the timing of the launch, thanks to the popularity of Star Wars this season.

“Every time something happens in the world around Star Wars, we in the game space also benefit,” Howard said. “We love all the attention that Star Wars has gotten both with the Mandalorian and other things. We were just really motivated to try to get it out in time for the holidays.”

Aspyr also recently ported Star Wars Episode I: Racer on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Howard said those latter two versions will run on an Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, thanks to the backward compatibility. She said the backward compatibility makes it easier for the company to execute its strategy of publishing retro games on older platforms, as they won’t see any financial penalty for not doing a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S version. To date, Aspyr has done four Star Wars remakes in the past year, and many others over the years.
