Completely-unexpected-yet-welcome news: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, first released in 2004, got an official update, replete with fixes and new features.
The update, which covers Mac, Linux and Windows versions of the game purchased through Steam, introduces a number of significant features, including widescreen resolutions of up to 4K and 5K, 37 in-game achievements, controller support and Steam Workshop integration.
That last item is particularly noteworthy, as it allows anyone to access and install user-created add-ons for the game inside the Steam client. One of the items already available is KotOR II’s popular “Restored Content Mod,” which fixes an assortment of bugs and introduces story content that was built for but not included in the original game.
As the story goes, developer Obsidian Entertainment was working under the gun during the final months of the game’s development. That’s why the day one release was littered with bugs. Years later, code-savvy fans discovered cut content inside the game’s code; that’s when the community effort to create the Restored Content Mod was born.
The new Steam update comes from Aspyr, a studio with a long history of porting games from other developers to new platforms. According to the official patch notes, Aspyr built the update “in partnership” with Disney Interactive and LucasArts — though the latter studio now exists only as a brand that Disney owns.
