Aspyr Media has actually verified that the Restored Content DLC for the Nintendo Switch port of Knights of the Old Republic 2 – The Sith Lords “will not be moving forward”.
In a declaration published to its social media sites network, the group did not make clear why it had actually terminated strategies to bring the DLC to Switch, neither supplied a reimbursement – rather, gamers have actually been provided the alternative of picking among 7 “replacement” games, 6 of which get on Switch.
“We’d like to thank the KOTOR community for their immense passion and support for the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series,” the declaration starts.
“That passion allowed us to bring this timeless series to the Nintendo Switch, and we are forever grateful.”
“Sadly, today we are announcing that the Restored Content DLC for the Nintendo Switch version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 – The Sith Lords will not be moving forward for release.
“We’d like to say thanks to every person for their ongoing assistance by offering a free of charge video clip game trick to gamers that acquired Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 – The Sith Lords on Nintendo Switch prior to this news.”
Consequently, the team suggests that players who’ve purchased the Switch game specifically for the DLC apply for a “substitute trick” for any of the following Star Wars-flavored games:
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 – The Sith Lords on Steam
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 on Nintendo Switch
- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on Nintendo Switch
- Star Wars: Republic Commando on Nintendo Switch
- Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer on Nintendo Switch
- Star Wars: Jedi Knight Jedi Academy on Nintendo Switch
- Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast on Nintendo Switch
To secure your replacement, head on over to support.aspyr.com – with your Nintendo Switch proof of purchase, of course – and the Aspyr team will do the rest.
As you may well expect, the offer to switch the key for another Star Wars game has not gone down well with all players. Many say they already own those games on different platforms and would prefer a refund, particularly as the company “hyped” the DLC and bought the game specifically to access its contents.
At the time of writing, Aspyr has not added any further clarification about why plans to bring the DLC to Switch have been abandoned, nor responded to any complaints from players.
While we’re on the topic of KOTOR – did you see that the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake publisher dodged a question about its development status?
Last week, publisher Embracer held an investor briefing, where company CEO Lars Wingefors fielded questions. When asked about the status of the KOTOR remake, Wingefors simply said: “no more remarks”.
The question about the KOTOR remake’s status comes off the back of a report last year that claimed it wasn’t faring well. Reports at the time claimed that after a bad internal demo, the remake was removed from Aspyr Media and handed to Saber Interactive to head up instead, and was delayed indefinitely with prompt impact.
Here are all the new games of 2023 (as well as past).
