I have yet to see any post on this topic so I decided to post about it. These are images from a fan made KOTOR remastered game that is being made by Apeiron Games. All these our straight from the images which they have posted on twitter. They update their feed every week on the progress they have made with the game. They have stated the game will be free for everyone who already has the original game.
If you are interested in following their progress, their twitter is here:

They also have an official site which is here:

And now that they relieved that they are working on it, they will soon receive a cease and desist order from EA
Diewithasmile
Dear god please...best game I have ever played
takeahike21
Dont wanna forget this one
SeamusMCMXCVI
it's going to get a cease and desist letter if it keeps being promoted.
MetalGearRichard
Is this just a graphics overhaul, or a full remake? If it's the latter, I doubt this will ever release.
sixhoursinacarwithmymotherinlaw
They could make a mint if they simply updated the graphics, kept the story and mechanics, and released it again.
JasonAbbadon
Expect the Empire to crush this....though I'd kill to see them use the KOTOR comics characters- Zayne Carrick, FTW!
IAmDarthBane
You have to own the game to play it so it's basically just a mod. They'll be fine maybe.
GodEmperorLetoAtreidesII
I have a feeling Skywind will be finished before this....

OH BABY
PhuckKnuckles
There's a completed full conversion of Baldur's Gate and Sword Coast for NWN2 and they are currently working on BG2 and an expansion.
Lagbeard
The problem with it is that it's NWN2. Only really great RPG engine from Bioware was the Infinity Engine.
PhuckKnuckles
I haven't played it yet, but I'm hoping they edited the user interface. Infinity Engine is life.
VoPo
If EA made this, it'll be garbage. If a fan made this, it'll be sued to death. Either way, RIP KOTOR.
bubup
In these dark times, i can't help but feel empty inside. I propose we, as a country, persuade Disney to make KOTOR 3. It's time.
obviouslyrob
Real talk though, Disney's lawyers are going to have a field day.
DoctorExler
I realize these people are big fans of the games. But every time somebody remakes one...they get shut down. Why bother?
DoctorExler
Such as Everquest, vanguard, wow, Pokemon, etc etc.
shmoopy220
I would blow someone to play this. Fortunately I don't have too.
XtremeWolf
*heavy breathing*
hanky2swanky
But can I play Pazaak?
TheGhostofElizabethShue
That's some fine looking cease and desist bait.
PapiBlanco
I still need to know if they are redoing dialogue. I don't want to hear every alien say "mucha shacka packa" no matter what I ask them about
PapiBlanco
There was so much human dialogue. But then they decided they only needed about 10 different alien ones such as "surprised tweilek"
bosox7704
Roonda de hoodonga kaaaaaaa chi koon in dahoodonga. That shitty, unrealistic alien dialog is forever engraved in my mind.
PapiBlanco
Yeah, amazeballs game. Cringey alien dialog.
theHawaiianBeatJunkie
I would buy a PC to play this version. This is truly awesome.
Silver44
The mouse is going to sue you.

"For now the best thing you can do as a fan is simply get the word out: please talk, tweet, or twitch us!" Poor fools, don't even see it.
Jackhammer412
Ha huh

Huh ha
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
I only got about halfway down the album before Bioware issued a C&D.
YesIChangedMyNameAgain
Or Disney since they own the Star Wars universe now.
ForlornFennec
EA is more likely, they're the publisher holding the licence right now.
Banjostory
Worse. Disney. Everyone's who's seen this post is gonna get black vanned.
Tifandi
Bioware isn't doing much these days my friend
CaptainSisqo
I doubt bioware would mind. EA on the other hand...
jakaii
EA has fucking nothing to do with this. They only have to do with Battlefront and SW:TOR
CaptainSisqo
Last I checked, EA owned Bioware.
jakaii
Really? I missed the memo somewhere.

NO. NO, NO, NO, NO. SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT YOUR GODDAMN REMAKES. ALWAYS. JUST QUIETLY RELEASE THEM OR THEY'LL GET FUCKING NDA'D.
Bibbymcbobby
To be fair, I think this info has been out for a while. I don't precisely recall, but I thought I saw news of this on the game's steam page.
oaque
every time this happens, i go from 'oh this looks cool' to 'oh shit i know about it' and realize next i'll hear it's been shut down
ShibbyGTR
They're developing it as a "mod" of the base game, so you have to own it to play it. Circumvents most legal problems. 1/2
ShibbyGTR
When you launch it, it basically uses none of the original game files, but it still makes it so they can continue without Cease and Desist
Ryebread91
What's an nda?
LoganCreed42
2 years and there site is gone
OstrichFlailingASpear
I'll never understand larger companies, seeing someone making their game better then going "Well, guess we better take legal action now"
SayHiToYourMom

AustinAlex
You have to aggressively protect your copyrights otherwise they'll become generic and anyone can do anything with them.
Alcard
This. We could of had a wonderful ChronoTrigger remake. But people posted about it.
ravien999
Remake? I thought Crimson was to be a fan sequel tying together it and Cross
Alcard
ChronoTrigger Resurrection
ravien999
Ah, I just remember playing the 98% of crimson
Ryoswindwalker
There was going to be a way to tie trigger to the misato kato fanfic anthology?
Boobs4Wade
Why can't we get a KOTOR 3?!
IMadeThisOnlyForDestinyCodeBegging
We did. It's called Star Wars: The Old Republic. That's technically KotOR3.
bubup
Right? I feel as though I have not progressed in my life since I finished kotor 2.
LimitedBrainpower
Cuz it's no longer canon, we would need a new approved KOTOR 1
Boobs4Wade
I don't even care about Disneys new canon. The old EU/legends is the REAL Star Wars canon in my heart.
ihaveatinyPP
Because single player games make less money than multiplayer MMO cash cows
IEnjoyOwls
Funny how mmos are a dying type anyway, and most big games currently are not mmos.
ihaveatinyPP
Most big games are MMOs just not mmorpgs
ihaveatinyPP
List what games you think aren't MMOs and are bug games. The mmorpg genre is dying but not MMOs.
ihaveatinyPP
Big not bug
TheBestSpork
Wasnt jotor 2 broken or unfinished?
IAmDarthBane
It wasn't that broken. It was rushed and therefore a lot of the ending got cut because LucasArts loved ruining their best games.
WellTheNamesJauneArc
But what about Jedi Outcast?
bubup
No, kotor 2 was amazing.
XxStyx1978xX
Amazing and broken. My game bugged out all the time.
bubup
But wasn't that every game on Xbox?
XxStyx1978xX
Hmmm, from what I remember of the Xbox yeah I guess. I played PC though.
Neorago
Originally? Back in Windows XP it ran just fine, re-bought on Steam and it's glitchy af.
XxStyx1978xX
Mine did some goofy stuff. Tried turning handmaiden into a Jedi and it through me into a glitched map.
EveryusernameIwantedwastaken
Have a look on steam workshop. There should be the restored content mod which works a treat
TCGreen
*Sigh* Another awesome fan made game mod that will likely never be finished. But maybe I'll be wrong.
IconicNebula
This and the KOTOR 2 remake has been in development a LONG time. Ive been a super fan of star wars for awhile and want only this.
RednapxpandeR
Oh to true brother, oh to true
LayceKayse
Sadly, you speak the truth. But, it's because of a C&D...v_v
zerocoolisgod
KOTOR 2 had a fan made patch officially adopted and released by the EA. I wondered why not KOTOR 1. So maybe... this'll get legitimized too?
Malkhuth
How was it officially released by EA?
zerocoolisgod
KOTOR 2 got fan made update that added controller support and widescreen, pushed through Steam in like 2013 or 14 with Obsidians blessing.
zerocoolisgod
Oh and it was Disney who okay'ed it. They hold publishing rights not EA.
zerocoolisgod
http://steamed.kotaku.com/ten-years-later-star-wars-kotor-ii-gets-an-official-up-1719284362
Malkhuth
That's not right then. The update didn't include the fan-made mod. It included steam workshop for downloading mods such as the fan-made mod.
TheSneaky
Or be canceled due to a lawsuit.
IconicNebula
Actually the KOTOR devs are pretty cool about this stuff.
IAmDarthBane
That's you need to own the game to play it, so it's basically just a overhaul mod. Same thing the Skywind team is doing.
LayceKayse
T'was canceled, but because of a C&D, not a lawsuit.
Bonsaipanda
Until there is a written statement from Disney that they have the blessing, you can be sure they will be shut down due to a lawsuit.
isamux3
They are avoiding lawsuits by making you own the original game to play. I'm so hyped.
LayceKayse
This mod was stopped, because of a c&d.
SnarkyScience
I mean it's still not legal. But it's less offensive so maybe no suit will be filed.
serban1703
It's legal if it's a mod. And if they require you to own the original and they give it for free, that's a mod, legally
acme64
not so clear if its an actual mod though, they just mention you need the game because of the audio assets. if its not they gon get fucked
obviouslyrob
We do remember Star Wars is a Disney property, right?
ForlornFennec
It's not so much that it's a Disney property, it's that EA currently holds the licence.
icyanddicey
Oh shit
PorneliusHubertII
They arent tryimg to profit from the remake and i believe it will be a free release. They have been working on it for years and no lawsuit.
