PS5's Knights of the Old Republic Remake Is Being Wiped from the Internet | Push Square
30.09.2023 - 00:53 / pushsquare.com
Update: Sony says the reason the Knights of the Old Republic trailers are being removed from its YouTube and social media accounts is due to music licenses expiring. In a statement to IGN, the organisation said: “As part of normal business, we delist assets with licensed music when the licenses expire.”
So, while the discourse around this project remains pretty negative overall, there’s still some hope it may see the light of day after all.
Original Article: Embracer’s embattled Knights of the Old Republic remake, which was scheduled to release as a PS5 console exclusive, looks like it’s fallen on even harder times. That’s a surprising statement in itself, considering the project has been hurdling brick walls since it was revealed. You may recall that the title’s original developer, Aspyr Media, was removed from the release, with production duties handed to an unnamed arm of Saber Interactive.
The acquisition-happy Embracer has since fallen upon hard times, of course, and has shuttered Saints Row maker Volition as a consequence. Now it looks like Sony has gradually been removing any references to the Knights of the Old Republic remake from YouTube and its social media accounts, as it looks to deny any existence of the project at all. The worrying thing here is that the Japanese giant was due to publish this game, so something’s gone very wrong along the way.
Officially, the title’s not cancelled until someone from Embracer says so, but we’d give up any anticipation you may have had for this title, because at best it’s still several years away – assuming it even exists at all right now.
A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you.
Sonys effort to get at least one more AAA western RPG to PS5 (after MS bought out half the WRPG industry) probably failed lol. Should have bought/build up at least one Studio for this Genre instead of mostly investing into GaaS ones
Oh dear. Hopefully the project resurrects as they must have some sort of licensing agreement. But also hopefully, Embracer can just go away, become a much more focused company, or series of focused companies.
It was all doomed from the start.
The rumour is, Star Wars (and Lucasfilm in general) is a money sink for Disney at a time where they have serious financial problems. The fact is that they blew a serious amount of good will with bad project after bad project.
Point is, they are scaling back. And this may be a casualty.
Kotor is one of the best Star Wars games, I hope that the remake isn’t cancelled as it would be amazing. Such sad news
@LifeGirl Disney wouldn't lose on this since games are licensed out and the bill falls

PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA | Push Square
Sony is using the opportunity of the PS5’s smaller, slimmer relaunch to stealthily bump the price of the Digital Edition in the United States. While we already know you’ll need to pay extra for a standalone vertical stand, the organisation has also made the decision to hike the overall cost of the non-Blu-ray unit by $50. This means, moving forwards, the disc-less device will increase from an MSRP of $399.99 to $449.99.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai Review (PS5) | Push Square
Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is a game of two halves: a surprisingly simplistic action RPG and an endless barrage of static, visual novel-style cutscenes. It bears the name Dragon Quest and is published by Square Enix, yet it feels entirely barebones; with basic gameplay and a poorly presented story, we're left confused about who this one was for.

Fate/Samurai Remnant Review (PS5) | Push Square
There's an awful lot to like about Fate/Samurai Remnant — an action RPG set in 1600s Japan. With the country on the brink of unprecedented societal change, protagonist Miyamoto Iori finds himself at a loss. A diligent student of soon-to-be-outdated swordplay, Iori gets by on local busy work, but can't shake the feeling that his life is stuck in a rut.

My Favourite Game at Tokyo Game Show Wasn't Actually on PS5, PS4 | Push Square
Regular readers will know, perhaps rather unusually, I love trains. I’ve been covering Train Sim World in intimate detail for years now, much to developer Dovetail’s pleasure. (I will get around to reviewing Train Sim World 4 by the way, it’s just the schedule’s been brutal for me this past month. Also, maybe the studio would like to slow down just a touch with the sequels and expansions so I can catch up?)
