A hint about the developper of the supposed KOTOR reimagining / new game:
Any idea of what developer could do it ? (if this game is really happening)
Not going to lie.
Household name that not many people are aware of kind of screams inXile.
Nobody knows who the fuck they are, and Wasteland 3 has (sadly) seemingly vanished from the public memory.

IF we believe @Shpeshal_Nick whispers…
Microsoft is talking with Lucasfilm about something or somethings OTHER than Indiana Jones…
inXile started a second project sometime last year, and Sponger said that inXile is getting the most money from Microsoft to make games.
Shinobi says that the makers are “It’s not as mysterious as you think. It’s just not a household name most people are aware of.”
Well it means two things:
-
An XGS studio is making something with Lucasfilm unrelated to Indiana Jones but seperate from Kotor.
-
A “not househould name” is making the Kotor Revival.
has frequently talked about KOTOR III as being one of his and the Xbox gamers most requested games. If the team at Xbox really want to take us back to the OG Xbox days, KOTOR is one of the most well known Xbox games.
Now, what would be a non-household name? Ninja Theory? There are only TWO studios I can think of that are not household names in XGS library, IF XGS is making the Kotor Revival:
-
Compulsion
-
inXile.
Those were the two studios during the acquisitions that made people go…
My money would be on inXile with it’s long history of Wasteland, Fallout 1 & 2, Bard’s Tale…
Or for all we know it’s being made by Spiders or Cyanide Studios lol

I think it’s gonna be Activision
I suspect they wanted it to go alongside Halo.
Xbox would be crazy to it get involved in a KOTOR reboot / sequel. I would be diss appointed if they let it go multiplat, as lame as that sounds.

B…b…but Xbox needs Playstation.
Hopefully they close the deal soon. Yesterday made it so clear how badly MS wants everyone and their moms on Game Pass. Jimmy McPlaystation indeed isn’t going to be happy when he finds out he’s already played the last BGS on PS, it being Fallout 76, lol.

Acquisition of IP hmmmmm.

I hope Xbox buys the Lucasarts Original IPs from Disney for Double Fine. They don’t have to use them, but being able to merchandise, reference, remake and revisit without going through Disney every time would probably be a relief for Double Fine.
I think Eidios is a great shout. Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Legacy of Kain etc

EA has some good ones like Dead Space too. I think buying some dead but loved IP is not a bad call. They need to use them though, it is only recently that Rare IP is being used to its full potential again.
No, but the F2P part would have been announced in thr future.
I know how much you want it… but i think Fallout is more likely lol
Dormant IP aren’t up for grabs I think. Today’s dead franchise can be one of the next decade’s biggest nostalgic revivals. And licensing revenue is nothing to scoff at, either. Konami is making bank off of the Castlevania anime and themed pachinko machines for example.

I don’t know why MS needs to acquire IP for Game Pass. Unless that includes the talent required to put the IP to use lol
When they say aquire IP, i imagine they mean acquire studios with well known franchises attatched to them instead of smaller studios with some lesser known games
