Star Wars fans have been waiting years for the Knights of the Old Republic series to finally return, and according to a couple of reports and rumours, it looks like Lucasfilm Games has at least something in the works.
One latest report comes from Bespin Bulletin (thanks VGC), which claims that they've "heard there is a Knights of the Old Republic project in development somewhere,” although no further details have been shared for now.
However, they have highlighted that Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier previously hinted the project isn't being developed by BioWare, and apparently "we'll never guess" which studio is actually working on it.
“Amongst my digging, I heard there is a Knights of the Old Republic project in development somewhere. I talked to a couple of people, and I also found out that Jason Schreier said that it’s not with EA, and we’ll ‘never guess’ who the studio is that’s making this game.”
Cinellix also says it's heard from a couple of independent sources that a KOTOR project is in the works, but it's not 100% known whether it's a remake of the original game from 2003 or some kind of sequel.
Aside from KOTOR, Bespin Bulletin also says a bounty hunter game is in development by possibly EA or Ubisoft, and "there's another unannounced game at EA" which doesn't appear to be Star Wars Battlefront 3.

We are going to go from hardly any Star Wars games to over saturation in 3... 2... 1...
I’d love to play Kotor 3 (one that actually finishes the story from the first 2). But I’d rather have played it if it were made in like 2008-9. I feel like a new kotor made today is going to end up disappointing for a bevy of possible reasons (new writers/teams, changes to the Star Wars lore brought on by Disney which are more often bad than good, etc.). I also feel like a reboot will change enough to bug me in the same way the Spider-Man reboots keep bugging me (the new ones are “fine” and enjoyable, but the Spider-Man series I’m still attached to is the original movie series).
I know it’s only me personally so it doesn’t matter. But the only way I would enjoy this in 2021- beyond is if it’s a true sequel done in the spirit of the originals (and with a story that finishes that thread) in the way that Crash 4 kept to the spirit and story of the original trilogy.
I lost faith in this series being anything great a long time ago when Bioware started to decline, but I always loved the first two games, total classics.
Watch it be an expansion for The Old Republic.
It will be probably a reboot in new canon universe.
Honestly pump out as many star wars games as possible... at least a few of them will be really good. Should be interesting to see which studios can really nail it.
