Republic News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

The first trailer for new Star Wars series The Acolyte has arrived, and it looks epic.

Star Wars is an absolutely massive franchise, spanning hundreds of projects ranging from movies and video games to comics and short novels. It can be difficult to fit all of those projects into one established canon, which is why older titles such as the beloved Star Wars FPS Republic Commando can fall by the wayside a little bit.

A new developer stream for Star Wars: The Old Republic showed a surprising feature on the way in Game Update 7.5. Players will be able to earn their own farmstead on the planet of Dantooine after completing a quest chain. The cozy feature will come with a Spring Abundance festival, which includes the surprisingly comfortable activities of “seed collecting, dancing, pie-baking, animal rehabilitation, and a galactic egg hunt,” according to a press release.

Skybound Entertainment has opened a crowdfunding campaign to make a triple-A game based on its Invincible IP. The campaign, available on Republic, is not meant for users but for investors. The minimum amount you can invest is $100, while the maximum is $5 million, which is also the maximum funding goal of the campaign. So far, the campaign is sitting at $450K with 13 days left to invest.

Way back in October 2022, it was rather casually announced that Skybound had signed off on some Invincible video games, though it gave us very little info on what they could be. Since then, we've had Fortnite and Mortal Kombat collaborations, and a rather disappointing mobile title in Guarding the Globe by Ubisoft, but it now seems like Skybound is ramping up its ambitions.

Skybound Entertainment has launched a Republic crowdfunding campaign for the development and marketing of a new AAA game based on Invincible.

Sony announced a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic three years ago during the 2021 PlayStation Showcase. Since then, the trailer was delisted, it was indefinitely delayed, and it changed developers. Fears of it being cancelled have been mounting as both Disney and Embracer remain quiet, but developer Saber Interactive insists that it's still in the works and only yesterday revealed that the project is "alive and well".

After years of uncertainty, Saber Interactive's Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake is "alive and well," according to the company's CEO.

Some observant Star Wars fans may have picked up on some hidden depth in Obi-Wan Kenobi's earliest appearance from the franchise. But is it simply excellent acting that stands the test of time? Or was it truly a sign that creator George Lucas had certain plans from the start?

It’s been a while since our last new Star Wars show. But the long drought since Ahsokais finally coming to an end as Disney debuted the first trailer for The Acolyte on Tuesday.

Its latest attempt to do so comes in the form of a new trailer, which features new characters, locations, story details, and a lot more that is bound to excite every Fallout nerd on the planet. However, Fallout New Vegas fans may have more of a reason to be excited, as this new trailer seems to feature a couple of nods to the New California Republic.

When it comes to licensed movie franchises entering the world of video games, very few have as storied a history as Star Wars. From hopping into an X-Wing cockpit in Rogue Squadron to making decisions that affect the fate of the galaxy in Knights of the Old Republic, George Lucas’ expansive sci-fi universe has become a creative playground for a range of talented developers over the years, and with it paved the way for some truly iconic Star Wars games.

Power supplies meeting new standards have made an appearance over at CES 2024, which hope to finally put an end to concerns over melted power connectors. 

If there's one thing that divides opinion between PC hardware enthusiasts, it's RGB lighting. For some it's a tasteless display of gamer aesthetic and a glowing affront to the eyeballs, while to others it's a dazzling display of neon that sets off a gaming setup. If you fall into the latter category then you might want to check out Hyte's latest keyboard offering, as not only does it contain enough RGB lighting to divert low-flying planes, but Hyte has even gone and called it the Keeb TKL.

Small form factor PCs have been a thing seemingly forever now, and I've always been something of a fan. After all, a regular ATX case can be quite an awkward space hog on your desk, so fitting your components into a small and efficient chassis instead seems like a sensible thing to do. Cooler Master seems to have forgotten the whole «small and efficient» part of that principle, however, as it's just unveiled a mini ITX case at CES 2024 that, well, isn't. 

Star Wars: The Old Republic will have two different in-game events this month, including one that will put players up against an overtly powerful foe to test their mettle. 

Riders Republic, Ubisoft’s online multiplayer sports simulator, has started its winter-themed ninth season, offering players incentives to log in throughout the start of 2024. 

In a shocking development, the American magazine, the New Republic has crowned X owner Elon Musk as ‘The Scoundrel of the Year'. In a long article liberally seeded with choice name-calling, the magazine charted out the actions and decisions made by the billionaire in 2023 that got his this dubious award. The New Republic said, “He proved this year that he's not just evil but deeply stupid too”. This comes after Musk made the headlines recently for posting anti-semitic comments on X, which led to multiple advertisers boycotting the platform and also using expletives during a live interview.

The fate of the Knights of the Old Republic Remake remains in flux, much like the Force itself, and conflicting reports from trusted sources have recently left us contemplating a turn to the dark side. Now, a Disney executive has thrown further fuel on the flames.

One former Dragon Age writer would love for Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian to pick up the torch of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series.

With the future of the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake up in the air, Disney has at least signalled its commitment to the much-loved role-playing game.

Comments made by Disney's head of gaming, Sean Shoptaw, suggest that the long-awaited Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is still on the way.

Games industry head honchos have all gotten into the same hobby recently: Refusing to say anything about the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that got revealed at a PlayStation showcase all the way back in September 2021. It just seems that no one at any of the corporations supposedly involved—Sony, Disney, and Embracer Group—wants to talk about it ever since trouble cropped up at the remake's original developer Aspyr.

Update 7.4 “Chains in the Dark” for Star Wars: The Old Republic is now live. The new update adds a number of new features as well as new story content that shifts focus to the Mandalorian Civil War on Ord Mantell.

Star Wars: The Old Republic's next major update, Chains in the Dark, is slated to launch on December 5th, EA and Broadsword announced today. 

Publisher PQube and developer Crazy Goat Games have announced pirate-themed city builder and real-time strategy game Republic of Pirates for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store). It will launch in 2024.

Establishing your own Tortuga for an army of pirates sounds like a recipe for a municipal planning nightmare, but Republic of Pirates makes the job look like a sea-breeze. Republic of Pirates was revealed during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted today with a trailer showcasing seafaring city-building, management, and ship combat. While there’s a long pedigree of pirates in the history of PC gaming, this reveal is more like Anno 1800 than contemporary swashbuckling like Sea of Thieves or classics like Sid Meier’s Pirates. 

The winners of the Game Republic 20th Anniversary Awards have been announced, with Revolution Software taking home two accolades.

Back in 2021, a PlayStation showcase announced that Aspyr was developing the often-rumored remake of Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic. Sadly, that was pretty much the last positive piece of news we got out of that project — up until now.

It's been yet another rollercoaster week for Embracer's beleaguered remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which was «delayed indefinitely» last year after Texan studio Aspyr Media was relieved of development duties.  On Friday, reports emerged that Embracer's boss had refused comment on the fate of the game, stating with exquisite irony «I notice that anything I say to this becomes a headline.»

Last week, rumors began floating around that the remake was effectively dead and no longer being developed. A new report suggests that isn’t true.

Amid continued silence from embattled games company Embracer about the status of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, developer Saber Interactive is reportedly still soldiering on with the project in some capacity.

We know you’ll find this hard to believe, but if this rumor is true, it seems Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still in production after all.

The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is allegedly still being worked on, in a report that contradicts recent rumors.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old – Republic has been caught in a vortex of behind-the-scenes drama ever since its announcement, with the project having been taken off developer Aspyr Media and handed over to Saber Interactive last year, along with being hit with an indefinite delay. Recently, journalist Jeff Grubb claimed, however, that development on the remake had stopped altogether, even at Saber, throwing into question whether the title will ever see the light of day.

Back in 2021, it was announced that Knights of the Old Republic would be getting an official remake, with plans to release it on PC and PS5. However, things have not been going swimmingly for KOTOR‘s return, and if you’ve clicked on this headline, you already know where this is going.

Embracer’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is reportedly no longer in active development.

The fate of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is once again up in the air, after a new report that the game is not currently being worked on at developer Saber Interactive.

Speaking on the Game Mess Mornings podcast, industry insider Jeff Grubb claims the Knights of the Old Republic remake is «no longer being worked on right now.»

The first and last official update we got on Star Wars: Knights of the Old – Republic was when it was announced a little over a couple of years ago. Last year, however, it was reported that the project had been indefinitely delayed and that developer Aspyr Media had been taken off the project, with subsequent reports claiming that Saber Interactive had stepped on to take the reins. However, it now seems the remake’s development has hit further roadblocks.

The vibes surrounding the new PS5-exclusive version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic have not been positive for some time, with the Embracer Group’s CEO refusing to even comment on the project during their most recent earnings call because anything he said would “become a headline” (of course, this became a headline). Sony also tellingly pulled down the announcement trailer for the project and scrubbed any references to it from social media.

If you’re after news for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that was unveiled a few years ago, you’re in for some disappointment. That’s at least according to one industry insider who has had a strong track record. Jeff Grubb recently offered a statement during the Giant Bomb podcast where he mentioned Embracer Group and their Star Wars remake. If you don’t recall, it was just yesterday that reports started to come out online regarding Embracer Group’s CEO being asked for an update on the remake progress.

Embracer boss Lars Wingefors is staying tight-lipped on the current state of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake.

As initially reported by IGN, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors commented during a financial presentation that he has no comment on the state of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake. He also states, “Anything I say to this becomes a headline.” Yes, sir. Yes, sir, it will.

There’s been plenty of hope to see the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake launch into the marketplace. The game was praised when it was unveiled to be in the works again, years after the folks first launched from the folks at BioWare. However, there’s been a long gap now regarding actual updates. The video game has yet to be outright canceled for the public, but it’s been kept very much under wraps on its current progress. In fact, Embracer’s CEO was recently asked about the game again, and his statement doesn’t indicate what is going on with the IP. 

The boss of embattled games company Embracer has refused to answer a question about the troubled Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, despite increasing concern about the project.
