For years, fans have clamored for a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which made its debut for the very first Xbox in 2003. While there aren’t currently any plans for that remake to happen, fans will soon have the next best thing, because KOTOR is coming to the Xbox One alongside 12 other original Xbox titles.
Via IGN, KOTOR, Ninja Gaiden Black, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, Fuzion Frenzy, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Psychonauts, Dead to Rights, Black, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Sid Meier’s Pirates!, Red Faction II, BloodRayne 2, and The King of Fighters Neowave will be available to play on Tuesday, October 24, if fans have the original discs or the digital versions available from the Xbox store. The most noticeable special feature is that each game will now run at 1080p resolution.
As you can see in IGN’s accompanying video, the visual upgrades to KOTOR are pretty impressive. It’s not the same as getting a current generation remake, but this may be the best way to experience KOTOR in all of its glory.
There are additional Xbox games coming to Xbox One’s expanded backwards capabilities, and that means we could soon see many of our classic favorites in a new light.
