I always find it sad to look at failed pitches after the fact and think about the hard work that went into building them. Here’s a peek at our failed pitch: (The Reforged Collection). The title “Reforged Collection” is all we really know about it, as the details of the presentation are unfortunately still confidential.
Oster is happy for Aspyr, who specifically hired former BioWare developers who he had worked with on the original game, but decided to share some surface details of his failed pitch regardless.
Huge congratulations to our friends at on announcing #KOTORRemake Now we finally know who beat us to it. It seems Oster was told that the company had decided to go another route, but it wasn’t until the reveal that the remake would be coming to PlayStation 5 that he discovered what they had decided.
Trent Oster, who co-founded BioWare and was part of the team that created the original KOTOR back in 2003, has revealed that he pitched a remaster of sorts to Lucasfilm Games at some point in the past, but it was rejected. Star Wars gamers recently rejoiced at the recent news that fan favorite Knights of the Old Republic is being given a full remake, though it seems this wasn’t the only attempt to revive the classic video game.
