Knights Of The Old Republic Remake - Everything We Know
2. The Old Cast Will Return Either Way
If there is any main flaw in the way Bioware has always approached their RPGs, then it's definitely the fact that their series contains entries that take place years and years apart from each other. Whereas other series like the Trails In The Sky series have the same characters going on adventures serialized through several games so you get to see their development in real time, Bioware RPGs leave everything to the player's imagination. Which has more than a few story repercussions.
Fortunately, whether this rumored title will be a remake or a full on sequel to KOTOR 2, the old characters from the first KOTOR are set to make an appearance. Now, whether that will be in the form of cameos as seen in KOTOR 2 or as actual companions again is anyone's guess, but it will definitely be nice to hear Jennifer Hale as Bastila Shan or Raphael Sbarge as Carth again.
Because of SWTOR, it's unlikely we'll get any real closure to what happened to Revan, since SWTOR's Shadow Of Revan expansion covered all of that already and as far as I know that's still in canon. But, there are plenty of other stories you can tell outside of Revan's disappearance, so if this is a sequel we're talking about, that's definitely something to look forward to.
