Star Wars: The Knights of the Old Republic, the sprawling science fiction role-playing game built by BioWare, turns 15 tomorrow.
KOTOR came out on 15th July 2003 in North America on the original Xbox, before later launching on PC. It was directed by Casey Hudson, now general manager of BioWare, designed by James Ohlen (who recently left BioWare after 22 years at the company) and was written by Drew Karpyshyn (who left BioWare for a second time in March).
The game, which is set four thousand years before movie Revenge of the Sith, was praised for its impressive visuals, authentic recreation of the Star Wars universe and for letting players create their own Jedi character that could go Light or Dark side depending on choices made throughout. But it’s the story and characters that are remembered fondest.
