Support NeoGAF

In a conference call discussing the deal, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors was quizzed about the jointly held AAA project on a couple of occasions.

One analyst asked if it was expected to come out in the next 12 months or whether it was a more distant release.

"No, I think that kind of game needs some deep love and respect, so without giving full colour, I think it's some time left until that is released,"

Wingefors said.

Started Jedi survivor less than 24 hours ago and would love kotor remake now it's going to be amazing whenever it releases.

[dotnotbot]

So 13 months it is then

 

[Topher]

Embracer will be a footnote in the gaming history books by the time a KOTOR remake is ever released.

 

[TVexperto]

happy to hear they are not rushing it out

 

[NickFire]

I was excited for this when it was announced. Not excited anymore.

"I heard the day one patch still doesn't fix …"

 

[PanzerCute]

"Embracer announces that they have nothing to announce"

What a time to be alive.

 

[Jack Package]

Taking an extra 18 months to add microtransaction skins for every character in the game

 

[Beechos]

This game is not coming out. Has cancellation written all over it

 

[drganon]

Very encouraging.

 

[Randall365]

If they give Disney another few years, there might not be a Star Wars anymore. Isn't that new Rey trilogy designed to make men feel uncomfortable out soon? Sounds like quite a departure from Lucas's original vision.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Isn't this one of the Playstation GaaS titles?

KoToR ? Gaas ?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

KoToR ? Gaas ?

Always thought it was an MMO.

If not, never mind.

No, that's Star Wars: The Old Republic. Different game but set in the same 'universe'.

Knights of the Old Republic 1/2 are single player RPGs.

Ah ok, never mind then.
Thought it was the same game.

 

[LordCBH]

It's never releasing.

 

[billthomas696969]

I don't even understand the point of this game. It's not like the first one is technologically unplayable, or so archaic it really needs a remake, or is legally unavailable on modern hardware.

 

[Sybrix]

This game will go the way of the Dodo.

 

[IAmRei]

Maybe if it still faithful and improved in good way, it could revive my love for star wars... I lost interest despite having years very active in star wars community... Now i cant even remember the eu anymore, even i forgot the names of the characters.

They could let Larian make a Knights of the Old Republic III

Larian should stay far, far away from Embracer. That's like unnecessarily poisoning themselves.

 

[NeonGhost]

Vaporware

Fair enough. But they also colluded with Wizards of the Coast /Hasbro for BG3 and they did not get poisoned.

True, I guess I feel like on the level of competent to incompetent, Embracer is a far, far more incompetent company than WotC/Hasbro, even with me being well aware of how badly they've screwed up themselves.

Embracer almost feels like some jackass from r/wallstreetbets bought all of these gaming companies after winning big on gamestop stock, and then used them to make another huge gamble for more money because they felt 'we can't lose, too the moon!'. Then they lost. It just feels like a company being led by someone who doesn't know what they're doing and didn't have any backup plans.

 

[Celcius]

I thought this was cancelled

 

[Bert Big Balls]

"Embracer announces that they have nothing to announce"

What a time to be alive.

Basically any gaming article now. Clickbait bullshit that poses a question but doesn't answer it, an article full of what redditors think, or a horrendously written article where the writer tries to be funny and quirky but comes across as braindead.

 

[Hudo]

You know what? That's probably true, lmao.

 

[Jesb]

Will be cancelled.

[thekillergreece]

I expected Embracer to shut down Vampyr / Saber Interactive over their supposed failures to make a better product. - Embracer is obviously at fault because Aspyr already said the game wouldn't be ready till 2025 at best, so..

[RoadHazard]

Good. Don't rush that shit out, like EA did with Survivor (and Fallen Order for that matter).
