Some stories refuse to fade into the Force — and the Knights of the Old Republic saga is clearly one of them. While KOTOR 3 never materialized as an official release (thanks, corporate strategy meetings), a passionate group of modders has stepped up with something the galaxy has been craving: the first episode of Revenge of Revan, a fan-made continuation built for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II.
After years in development, this ambitious mod is now available for download, and yes, it’s as lore-rich, Jedi-packed, and morally complex as one might hope.
🛠️ What Is Revenge of Revan?
Revenge of Revan is a total conversion mod for KOTOR 2 that acts as a spiritual successor to the series — essentially, a fan-made KOTOR 3. Set eight years after the events of The Sith Lords, it tells an original story with fresh characters, branching paths, and an unapologetically deep dive into Jedi, Sith, and everything in between.
This isn’t just “more missions.” It’s a full-fledged narrative, complete with custom voice acting, new environments, and player-driven choices that shape your path forward. And yes — your choices from KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2 matter.
You can grab the mod now on DeadlyStream, complete with installation instructions and all the files needed to ignite your lightsaber once more.
✨ What’s Inside the First Episode?
The first episode of Revenge of Revan isn’t just a teaser — it’s a full experience with around three hours of gameplay, enough to make you reconsider dinner plans. Here’s what’s packed in:
🧑 Over 50 unique player character heads — humans, aliens, and even some that can wear headgear. Galactic fashion included.
🎵 Original soundtrack composed specifically for the mod. Expect moody, mysterious, and sometimes downright dramatic vibes.
🧬 Dialogue choices that actually change based on your Jedi class and species. Want to be a snarky Twi’lek Sentinel? You can.
🔀 Canon and Non-Canon story routes — yes, the mod offers two major paths depending on whether you want to align with the Revan novel timeline or rewrite history.
In other words, it’s as close to a real Bioware/Obsidian-style RPG experience as you’re likely to find in a galaxy where the official sequel never got greenlit.
🧠 Canon vs. Non-Canon Paths: Choose Your Destiny (No Pressure)
One of the most fascinating features of Revenge of Revan is its dual narrative system. Players can choose to follow:
The Canon Path, which aligns with the Revan novel’s storyline, helping tie the events of KOTOR 2 directly into the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The Non-Canon Path, which goes full alternate universe, offering unexpected twists, character fates, and endings that diverge wildly from established lore.
It’s like choosing between light side and dark side — but with more existential dread and fewer lightning bolts.
Switching between your vanilla KOTOR 2 install and the Revenge of Revan mod is also simple, so there’s no need to backflip through folders like a caffeinated Yoda.
🔮 A Promising Future for KOTOR Modding
The release of Episode I marks a major milestone, but the story isn’t finished. The mod team behind Revenge of Revan plans to continue developing the saga — which means more episodes, more worlds, and hopefully more complex ethical dilemmas involving ancient Sith artifacts.
And let’s face it: until an official KOTOR remake gives us more than trailers and corporate updates, this might be the most compelling reason to revisit the Old Republic era.
Conclusion: The Jedi Legacy Continues — Modders to the Rescue
It may not have the Lucasfilm logo stamped on the box, but Revenge of Revan delivers the KOTOR 3 we never got — a continuation built from passion, lore obsession, and more dialogue trees than a Jedi archive.
With a strong first episode, multiple narrative paths, and a community backing its development, Revenge of Revan proves that the Force is still very much alive in the modding scene.
