Aspyr has announced that it’ll no longer be releasing its promised “Restored Content” DLC for the Switch port of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords.
Based on The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification, a fan-made mod that reintroduces a wealth of famously cut or unfinished content from the game’s original 2004 release, the DLC was promised as an upcoming addition to the game’s Switch release when it was originally announced, with the developer not giving any explanation as to why it’s now been binned.
Aspyr was also originally tapped to be developing the Knights of the Old Republic remake, a project that was reportedly “delayed indefinitely” last year after some internal issues involving firings and concerns from LucasFilm and Sony.
In a tweet announcing the change, Aspyr has extended an olive branch to fans who purchased the game under the impression that the DLC would be coming, offering a complimentary game key for a selection of other Star Wars titles:
