  • Choose Your Destiny —Discover your past and make difficult choices that aren’t as clear-cut as “good or evil.” Each decision can have a significant impact on your story and your squad. Will you uphold the Jedi Order or lead the Galaxy to ruin?
  • Master the Force —Choose from three different classes of Jedi, each with access to specific Force powers, and customize your characters with unique skills and abilities.
  • Lead Your Crew — Command a party of diverse crewmates, each with their own strengths, alignments, and nuanced back stories. Your actions will influence your crew’s destinies, but not everyone may agree with the choices you make.

We remind you that Aspyr, in collaboration with the Saber Interactive, is also preparing a full-fledged remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. However, it currently only targets the PC and PlayStation 5.
