Jennifer Hale did not see KOTOR's twist coming: 'Knights of the Old Republic really showed me the level of writing, storytelling, and surprise that was possible in games' (www.pcgamer.com)

Would love to see a remake from Bioware. Full voice acting, big overhauls, same story and characters and settings

Just keep the audio assets from the original.

Honestly, even the graphical assets...

The gameplay is the hardest thing for new players; I'd kill to see KOTOR in a modern engine and with some mechanics like BG3.

I booted up KotOR on a whim last week, started the character creator, said "Oh, that's right. This was based on 3E rules," and promptly noped out. I don't have the time or patience to relearn 3E's complexity.

It's a 3e base, but very simplified. It's more like 5e with extra feats and the old fortitude/reflex/will save system added on.

Am I crazy or didn't they announce this a few years ago? I could have sworn watching a tease for a KOTR remake on like the game awards or something.

Are you thinking of the MMO? It was fully voiced and set in the KOTR era.

No, there was a remake announced in 2021, it just got trapped in development hell. Supposedly it hasn't officially been cancelled yet, but I don't have my hopes up. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/kotor-remake-returns-for-annual-tradition-of-reminding-you-its-still-alive-but-no-you-cant-hear-anything-more-about-it-until-it-comes-back-next-year-to-say-it-again/
