What Ive heard separately, from people familiar with goings-on at the studio, is that BioWare Austin did indeed play around with a Knights of the Old Republic prototype, but that it hasnt been greenlit and is not currently in development. Ive also heard that the majority of BioWare Austin is working on the companys new IP, which is headed up by BioWares Edmonton studio and should be officially announced at E3. That new IP is a Destiny-ish game code-named Dylan, as Liam Robertson correctly reported in a separate Patreon post.
Liam Robertson's response:
Kotaku said:I reached out to Robertson this morning to clear things up and he sent over the following e-mail:
Going to hold my hands up here - I think I just misheard some of the Austin stuff when I was talking on Skype, so I may have misspoke there. Theres also the element that I had no notes in front of me and just sort of rambled on from memory. I did not expect these few select statements to blow up (oops). Im used to having the opportunity to just release follow-up notices on the Patreon with any updates and corrections. My bad there.
Let me clarify that I dont think KOTORs a current project. From the same people I learned about Dylan from, I did hear that they prototyped a KOTOR revival at Austin a while back. I believe it may have evolved into something else since then or fizzled out since then. Im still confident Austin is doing something Star Wars related though and Im confident in that. I actually did know that they were contributing towards Dylan since I originally found out about it when I was researching Austins Shadow Realms, so if I said exclusively, then that was admittedly a mistake.
