There are rumors rumbling around of another Kotor game in the works. But, the rumors I heard are of a game that re-tells the story in the original 2 games. Something more akin to a remake. Basically, what Doom 3 was the the original Doom.

Personally, I feel the original games work well enough. Enough that I'd prefer Kotor 3 actually got done to finish what kotor 2 set up about Revan going to the unknown regions of the galaxy. That's a tale that badly needs telling.

The story is finished in the book "Revan" The novel explains what happens to Revan before he leaves on his quest, and it explains what the Exile does after the events of KOTOR II. The novel also explores Revan's quest post - KOTOR II. I would definitely recommend it, but the ending is a little disappointing.

Actually, that novel is precisely why a lot of fans are looking for a "true" Kotor 3: because the book doesn't really do the series (well, Kotor 2 really; I think it'd be a fine installment from a pure continuation of Kotor 1. Though what can you expect when the author apparently never played the game? [1]) justice. A lot of elements from Kotor 2 -- ranging from the Exile (dear God where to start?) to the plot threads set up -- are *dealt* with but the execution paired with a few retcons leaves the writing appear ignorant at best and a tad malicious to Avellone at worst.

I'd say the novel would work as a great conclusion if you were looking to wrap of the Kotor games from the perspective on their relationship to SWTOR, but I don't think that is what people here are looking for.

Bioware and Obsidian lost their touch long ago and Bethesda hasn't made a good game since 2001

[sebastian.gibson23]

I think those will will do if there is no microtransacoins or the scum of the earth lootboxes

Tbh, I don't think Bethesda ever had the touch. While I do understand why people like open-world and sandbox, I never fully understood why Bethesda. All of their games are bug-infested broken messes, and weak story-wise and people praise them for that. Their take on Fallout is a good example. The first two Fallout games are miles ahead of Bethesda Fallout in everything. Also, New Vegas highlights how much Bethesda games are narratively bankrupt. Bethesda KOTOR, a big no no. They disappointed me with Fallout enough, we don't need another beloved RPG to fall into their greedy hands.

They did get away with the bugs at first because they were the only ones making these huge open world rpgs, but now when there are so many polished games surpassing bethesda ones, there's really no excuse

Honestly, we already got Kotor 3 with SWtor, including the book 'Revan' from Drew... So I dont think its needed (Why is the Exile always done dirty, poor woman). If we have a remake of the previous two games, I wouldnt mind though, as in complete a overhaul of graphics but the rest more or less the same.

Also, CDPR just shot themselves in the foot recently, so I wouldnt trust them with a barge pole.

Because we don't want a mmorpg like how people were disappointed with 76

Apparently Lucasfilms(Disney) has been talking to Microsoft about producing more games based on their IPs(other than the announced Indiana Jones games being developed by Bethesda). Hopefully one of them would be Star Wars KOTOR 3 or a KOTOR reboot since one of their studios Obsidian Entertainment developed KOTOR 2.

Ubisoft and Activision collab for KOTOR 3. Ubisoft can do the glitchy Open-World, Third-Person Experience with XP Boost micro-transactions. And Activision can do the cookie-cutter, Call of Duty style, Multiplayer with cosmetic macro-transactions. I would definitely buy a Storm Trooper shaped Red Dot for $25.

If not Bioware, then maybe Bandai Namco, Capcom or Arkane Studios.

Bioware is a shadow of what it used to be. Many of it's talented rpg veterans have left and none of those other companies are renowned for creating story driven rpgs like KOTOR where dialogue choices, extensive lore and well built characters are important, all of which Obsidian has excelled at for years.

Arkane Studios will soon be part of Microsoft as part of it's acquisition of Zenimax but the type of games it produces like Dishonored are nowhere close to the rpgs(like KOTOR) which Obsidian specializes in.

Many of the talented veteran developers at Obsidian that worked on KOTOR 2 have also been retained in the company (unlike those at Bioware the developers of the first game in the series).

[sebastian.gibson23]

Arkane made prey witch was pretty good in terms of game play how about arkane for gamplay and a company that made a good story driven game that hasent been a complte flop and was somewhere close to kotor standerds in the last year or two

[Kai]

Arkane made immersive sims, and they seem to be going down the hill by the look of their upcoming game timeloop whatever it was. I think Harvey Smith has left the company or stepped down, otherwise they wouldve pushed for a Dishonored or Prey sequel. Not good for kotor anyway.

[Xi Jinpooh, Lord of Man-Jynuhs]

I threw in Arkane because I think they'd give the game a bit of a push towards the darker, more ominous edge towards story and gameplay.

KOTOR 1 and 2 gameplay has been a bit more D&D style, so maybe Larian Studios then.

[Kai]

Larian would the best i guess too, if not cdpr for all the controversy around them, dont trust bioware with EA one bit. I doubt obsidian would be available as theres a rumour they and inxile are working on big AAA titles now as they are under xbox and have microsoft budget. It could be kotor as well who knows, the timing is too good to be true.

[FireDrakeZ]

Larian has very solid worldbuilding and characters but they always stumble on their plots and endings. They are not as good at making good dialogue or dialogue choices that Kotor focuses on and which Obsidian is very good at. KOTOR 1 and 2 is primarily story driven and storytelling is where Obsidian excels the most.
