Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords developer Obsidian has admitted the company still regularly discusses ideas for a third entry in the franchise, with plenty of staff members interested in creating a follow-up.

Speaking to IGN about the upcoming Pillars of Eternity, project director Josh Sawyer and lead producer Brandon Adler explained Obsidian remains full of Star Wars fans, many of whom often hash out ideas for KOTOR 3.

Lock if that's actually a moon.

KOTO3 would be great. The Old Republic is truly the best time period in SW. Too bad they announced everything non-canon though.

 

[c0de]

In my veins. please. And make it MS-exclusive

 

[nynt9]

In my veins. please. And make it MS-exclusive

Reverse port begging? Come on dude. What does this achieve?

KOTOR 3 would be amazing. KOTOR 2 was GOAT.

 

[antitrop]

Short of selling themselves to EA, that's never going to happen.

I see Bioware ending up making KOTOR3.

 

[Wozzer]

But there's already a KOTOR 3... and 4, 5, 6 and 7. It's SWTOR. Right?... right?

 

[Percy]

Yeah, I don't doubt staff at Obsidian let their minds wander... particularly during QA on their games.

In my veins. please. And make it MS-exclusive

Why?

 

[Confidence Man]

The hell with that, just make an original sci-fi world after PoE.

 

[Spineker]

But there's already a KOTOR 3... and 4, 5, 6 and 7. It's SWTOR. Right?... right?

That was just Bioware's bullshit way of tagging that piece of crap with the brand of a much, much better game to give the fans some bait to bite onto.

 

[anexanhume]

Just when I start to get over it.

 

[Markitron]

Obsidian you MINGE TEASING BASTARDS

Is there any precedent for EA letting a studio they don't own make a game that they have the licence for? I'm sure there probably is but nothing comes to mind.

The hell with that, just make an original sci-fi world after PoE.

You wanna get cut?

 

[Eggbok]

In my veins. please. And make it MS-exclusive

Now we all know KOTOR is better on pc.
No way in hell it would be exclusive lol.

 

[The Elite]

KOTO3 would be great. The Old Republic is truly the best time period in SW. Too bad they announced everything non-canon though.

The time period is so removed from everything else that it doesn't really matter whether it's considered canon or not.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

In my veins. please. And make it MS-exclusive

Reverse port beg = ban?

 

[EvilKatarn]

EA, buy a brain and contract these guys to make KOTOR 3.

This would be a dream come true.

And make it MS-exclusive

the fuck?

 

[Geoff9920]

This. Ditch KOTOR and all the baggage that now comes with it and create their own space opera RPG.

 

[Chairman Yang]

Obsidian's talents would be wasted on KOTOR 3. There are many much more interesting projects they could be working on instead--even licensed ones.

 

[Patryn]

I'm not sure they could do their true KOTOR3, since TOR kind of blew apart the plans they were laying at the end of KOTOR 2.

Exactly, which is why I can't understand why they declared that ALL of the EU was non-canon. That's what pissed me off the most. I can't see there being any ancient Republic material in Ep VII

I'm not sure they could do their true KOTOR3, since TOR kind of blew apart the plans they were laying at the end of KOTOR 2.

No reason it couldn't take place after TOR or somewhere in the 300 years inbetween Kotor 2 and TOR. Also it could just be a more personal story without wider galactic implications. Tho I suppose we will never know what their plans really were.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Might as well name it something else since KOTOR ain't canon anymore.... just when I start to get into this sort of stuff.

Unless Disney is secretly awesome and the EU is still continuing.

 

[indivisible]

I wish Obsidian would make a new 3d rpg IP, I actually liked Alpha Protocol. Although it had a lot of problems with the actual game, story, and glitches.

 

[Growlie19]

As long as it's not rushed for a Christmas release, I don't care. I just want a non-MMO KOTOR announced.

 

[Nairume]

I'm not sure they could do their true KOTOR3, since TOR kind of blew apart the plans they were laying at the end of KOTOR 2.

Also Disney/Lucasarts has nuked the old EU, so getting new Old Republic stuff is probably not that likely anymore.

Also since the mechanics/ruleset used by the KotOR games are outdated twice over by two better SW rules systems, it'd just be better to just do an entirely new Star Wars thing than try and go back.

Do or do not.. there is no think!

I turned that into a question just so I could ask you if it was a serious one....

 

[syko de4d]

They should just get hired to make a isomatric cRPG Fallout spin off for Bethesda

Kotor is dead after swtor and now with Disney control over it, who knows what limitation there would be.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

In my veins. please. And make it MS-exclusive

but why?

I wish I could go back and play kotor2. I always felt it was a good game, but felt kotor was better.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

I can hope, can't I?

 

[Courage]

I don't know how to feel about Obsidian; they're so hit or miss. When they have a template and just need to add on to it, their games come out great (KOTOR 2, New Vegas) but then fuck up when they try to make a RPG from scratch (South Park, Alpha Protocol).

 

[Korben]

In my veins. please. And make it MS-exclusive

Playing KOTOR on console... Poor thing.

 

[adj_noun]

If the multiverse theory is correct, somewhere out there in the vast, infinite possibilities of the cosmic landscape, there may be a reality much like this one in all aspects save one: this thread is entitled "We are making KOTOR 3" - Obsidian

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Would love KOTOR 3, come on Disney

 

[Denton]

In my veins. please. And make it MS-exclusive

How about no.

Also, Obsidian-developed KOTOR3 on something like Unreal 4 could be motherfuckingly fantastic and I would be there day 1. KOTOR 2 is still the best SW game ever made.

 

[KorrZ]

Please Disney, make it happen. I would love a KOTOR 3 - still my favourite 2 Star Wars games ever made.

South Park was a fuck up? Completely disagree.

 

[Korben]

And i hope every KOTOR fans here played KOTOR 2:TSLRCM.

Right ? Right ?

 

[mikeybass]

Obsidian you MINGE TEASING BASTARDS

Made my day

 

[LastNac]

Loved KotOR 2.

I'll always hold out hope for a KotOR 3.

 

[JB2448]

Just when I start to get over it.

I'm just coming off the high of my latest TSLRCM playthrough, and it hurts so, so much to know that Obsidian could make an incredible follow-up. Knowing that there are employees in the studio that discuss it at least twice a year makes me even more depressed.

 

[Tagyhag]

Yes please, let Obsidian do it and give them all the time they need.

 

[WarpathDC]

Don't tease me obsidian

 

[adj_noun]

And i hope every KOTOR fans here played KOTOR 2:TSLRCM.

Right ? Right ?

For those like me who were staring in bewilderment: The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod.

And nope. Played both of 'em on Xbox, so no mods.

 

[Courage]

South Park was a fuck up? Completely disagree.

It was 10 hour fan service. Can't even classify it as a RPG, to be honest.

 

[Korben]

[Trey]

One of the few games that would make me cry in overwhelming mirth.

 

[anexanhume]

Obsidian's talents would be wasted on KOTOR 3. There are many much more interesting projects they could be working on instead--even licensed ones.

Or, you know, they could work on projects they're passionate about. Exactly like they're doing with PoE.

Dungeon Siege III shits all over your theory.
