Sony kicked off the latest Playstation Showcase with a huge announcement. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is coming to Playstation 5.
Development company Aspyr is handling the creation of the new remaster. The brief trailer shown during Thursday’s livestream saw Darth Revan striking his lightsaber with a haunting voiceover. Rumors of a KotOR remake began swirling in April, with Sony’s latest notice confirming that the game is in early development. KotOR is widely regarded as the best Star Wars video game, and ranks as one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

KotOR is based on an earlier Star Wars comic book series set 4,000 years before the formation of the Galactic Republic. The original Knights of the Old Republic was released in 2003, with a sequel coming the following year. Though the original game was initially released on Xbox, the remake is set to debut through Playstation. Playability on other consoles will be revealed at a later date. While Sony and Aspyr have yet to announce a release date, excitement is unlikely to decline for this beloved game.
Sony also announced upcoming games Project Eve, Wolverine, and God of War: Ragnarok. You can check out the trailer for KotOR in the player above, or watch Sony’s full showcase here.
