STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, one of the most revered RPG sequels of all time, is getting the remaster treatment from Aspyr, with the upcoming Switch port boasting optimised gameplay and a bump in overall visual quality.
If you happened to miss out on the first title, STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic, then the good news is that the eShop has got you covered with a handy bundle containing both games for the price of £23.88 / $29.99. The bundle and the sequel itself will launch on June 8th.
- STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic Bundle (UK)
- STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic Bundle (NA)
Both games take place within the 'Legends' branch of the STAR WARS Extended Universe, which basically means that they aren't considered canon anymore. Don't let that stop you from experiencing them, however, as they're both wonderful depictions of the STAR WARS universe centuries before the events of the core movies, where both Jedi and Sith were legion.
Take a look at a few screenshots from the sequel, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords:
In our review for Knights of the Old Republic on Switch, we said that the game "may have lost some of its luster as the years have gone on, but the foundations of a well-written and enjoyable RPG haven’t aged a day". We awarded it a 7/10.
Will you be picking up the KOTOR bundle on Switch when it launches on June 8th, or are you holding out for a physical edition of the sequel? Let us know in the comments!

I wonder if there will be a physical double pack as with the other star wars games...
now if they release this on cart id buy it no issues
Amazing storytelling in these games, even if your not the biggest star wars fan, I still recommend checking them out.
And I just bought KOTOR 1 two weeks ago for full price... sigh
I’ve never liked Star Wars but this game was a big part of my high school days
I haven't played either, but I'm wondering if I should wait for the ground-up remake on PS5...
I'm so confused. What is the point of a bundle that saves you 0 cents (US eshop)? And I don't understand what the article means by the bundle having you covered if you "missed" the first one. The first one is still there.
@DogDetective Well then buy KOTOR 2 for full price. You're still gonna pay the price of both anyways. Both games sold separately is $15/each, getting both together are $30 which is the price as above.
@DogDetective You're still good — this bundle doesn't save any money, so you can buy KOTOR 2 at full price and it'd be the same price as the bundle.
@Thomystic They never said it was a sales, just a bundle so people could buy both at ease. If price is the issue I say wait a few months or maybe next year, these are license titles so they go on sales very quickly.
I already have the first KOTOR. I would probably have gotten this on cartridge if I hadn't already done that! Ah well.
If it's made by/involving Lucasfilm pre-Disney, it's more canon than anything we're gonna get in my eyes.
The best part is 2 has all the restored content coming. That really is big news. Massive. Add whole new levels. Makes the ending way better and expands the game massively
