Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III can wait, because we now have the next best thing.
Well, in truth, I’d rather not wait for the unannounced Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III or the remake of the original game that looks to be in developmental hell, because I’d take either one, right now in a heartbeat.
It’s baffling to think that the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was announced over four years ago at a PlayStation Showcase event in September 2021.
It was announced with a teaser trailer featuring Darth Ravan emerging from the shadows with his red lightsaber illuminating, and it sent Knights of the Old Republic fans into a frenzy (and that’s putting it mildly).

Sadly, there have been several reports of it being cancelled or development studios changing hands (originally, it was Aspyr), with the truth likely landing somewhere in between.
Only time will tell whether the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake will see the light of day, let alone whether or not we’ll be treated to a third game in the series. It might be worth assuming the worst at this point.
Until then, thankfully, the fantastic modding community continues to bless us with no content, and this Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords sequel is one that we need to play right now.
The mod in question is called ‘Revenge of Revan’, and it’s a non-canon story expansion created by Logan23, and it’s available for free right now via DeadlySteam.
‘Revenge of Revan’ replaces the original story of the sequel, so it looks like it acts as a new game, of sorts. Judging by the FAQ, it’s easy to delete once you’re done with it, so you need not worry about it messing up the original game (hopefully).
“Revenge of Revan is a sequel to Knights of the Old Republic II,” reads the description of the mod.
“The game takes place eight years after KOTOR2, where you will find the Jedi Order starting to rebuild as they find their place in the Republic that has been absent from the Jedi Order for some years. An event on Corellia will set events in motion as you try to unravel this mystery before it's too late.”
Unfortunately, this mod is a PC exclusive, so it can’t be played on consoles. That being said, the only way to play the original Knights of the Old Republic games on consoles is either via Xbox backwards compatibility or on the Nintendo Switch.
