Leaked Clip Shows Aspyr’s Scrapped KOTOR Remake With Voiced Protagonist

The clip offers a rare glimpse of Aspyr’s scrapped vision during a remake now in limbo.

Overview

  • A work-in-progress cinematic from the cancelled Aspyr version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic surfaced from an artist’s portfolio.
  • The footage appears to be an opening scene on the Endar Spire with Carth Onasi and Trask Ulgo guiding the player through the ship.
  • An explosion blows open a corridor, exposes characters to space, and Trask slams an emergency bulkhead to save the player.
  • The player character speaks aloud in the clip, marking a break from the 2003 game’s silent protagonist, and it is unclear if that extended beyond cutscenes.
  • After the Aspyr-led effort was shut down and the project moved to Saber Interactive’s Mad Head Games, the remake’s status remains unknown, while original director Casey Hudson is leading a separate successor planned before 2030.
