Old Republic Tease Spurs Fresh KOTOR Scrutiny as Court Docs Flag KOTOR II Remake Plan

Court filings newly attribute the canceled Switch DLC to Disney legal objections.

Overview

  • Leaker Kurakasis says a “big” Star Wars game announcement is coming soon and that the title ends with “The Old Republic,” while noting it is not Zero Company or Eclipse, and no official confirmation has been issued.
  • Depositions reported by Game File describe Project “Juliet,” a full Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II remake with modernized gameplay that would remake content covered by the fan Restored Content Mod, and note it was on the roadmap as of March 2025.
  • Reporting also indicates the Knights of the Old Republic remake is currently being developed by Mad Head Games, with prior public statements from Saber Interactive saying the project remains in development.
  • Court documents show Disney’s legal team blocked the planned Restored Content DLC for the Switch version of KOTOR II over crediting and rights concerns, leading Aspyr to cancel the DLC in 2023 and later settle a false‑advertising lawsuit.
  • Multiple outlets point to The Game Awards this week as a possible reveal window based on the leak, but there is no announced date or verified plan for any Old Republic‑related reveal.
