Bloomberg says 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic' remake is indefinitely delayed
that Aspyr Media, a company known for creating ports out of existing video games, was remaking BioWare's classic Star Wars RPG last year. Aspyr had been working on the remake for three years by then and had industry veterans, as well as people who helped create the original game, onboard.

If that's the case, continuing what it's been doing for the rest of the game wouldn't be sustainable.says another possible point of contention is the game's timeline.
