The development team working on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake showcased a vertical slice (a short proof-of-concept demo designed to demonstrate a game's major features) to publishers at Lucasfilm and Sony in late June. According to Bloomberg (opens in new tab), the demo wasn't well received and Aspyr's studio heads have since said the game has been put on pause.

Shortly after the demo, design director Brad Prince and art director Jason Minor were fired from the project, surprising some developers who were excited about the game and felt it was on track.

Given the studio's recent firings, and that it's still hiring for several senior positions including a creative director (opens in new tab) and several senior software engineer (opens in new tab) positions, don't expect the game to appear anytime soon. It's possible that Aspyr won't be the one to release it at all. Embracer, the studio's parent company, announced back in May that another of its subsidiaries, Saber Interactive, was joining the project.

According to Bloomberg, some Aspyr employees believe Saber may eventually take over full development of the game. These are only the latest disruptions to the studio. Ex-lead producer Ryan Treadwell left Aspyr in May earlier this year for VR developer Skydance Interactive according to his LinkedIn profile (opens in new tab).

Aside from Knights of the Old Republic's acclaim, this remake is noteworthy as one of the first modern Star Wars games to be developed outside of EA. The publisher signed a licensing exclusivity deal in 2013, which is set to expire next year.
