Lucasfilm has reportedly ended its long-running relationship with Aspyr following concerns surrounding the KOTOR Remake, the launch of Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, and the overall quality of several classic Star Wars rereleases. The claim comes from The Star Wars Garrison, citing unnamed sources close to the matter. Neither Lucasfilm nor Aspyr has confirmed the report, so this remains firmly in rumor territory. KOTOR and Battlefront Reportedly Ended the Partnership Aspyr was originally developing the Knights of the Old Republic Remake, but the project was later moved to Saber Interactive following reports of internal problems and dissatisfaction with the studio’s progress. Then came Battlefront Classic Collection. The 2024 rerelease launched with server problems, bugs, missing features, and widespread criticism.

The Switch version launched on April 20, 2022, bringing the 2008 action game back in portable form.
