'We have spooked Disney legal': Court filings reveal a KOTOR 2 remake stuck in the phantom zone, who's working on the KOTOR 1 remake, plus Aspyr's doomed efforts to get the Restored Content Mod past anxious lawyers

KOTOR 2.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 is an unfinished game. Impressively unfinished, really. So unfinished that it doesn't so much have a final level as it does an idea for one that you just kind of percolate through until you hit credits. I can't blame Obsidian; the studio had an incredibly short time with which to actually, you know, make the game.

It's a game that would be well-served by a remake, in other words—something that had the time necessary to give the original's vision the attention it deserved. Turns out, just such a remake was—perhaps is—notionally in the making. That's according to Game File's recent scoop on Aspyr's ill-fated attempt to get The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification (the popular mod that restores a lot of cut-but-still-on-disc content to the game) onto the Nintendo Switch. More on those efforts later.
