Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 “Restored Content” DLC for Nintendo Switch shut down by Disney’s legal team
Posted on 3 months ago by Carlos in News, Switch | 0 comments
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, which launched on Nintendo Switch on June 8, 2022, was originally announced with a promised piece of additional content. The reveal trailer stated that the game would also include the Restored Content DLC, noting that it would be available “soon”. However, that DLC was later quietly cancelled for reasons that were, at the time, unknown to the public.
In June 2023, Aspyr confirmed that plans for the DLC’s release had indeed been scrapped, with co-CEO Ted Saloch later explaining: “Aspyr believed it would be able to release the content, but a third party objected and Aspyr was unable to do so.”
The situation sparked major frustration among fans and even led to a lawsuit accusing Aspyr of false advertising.
Now, as reported by Stephen Totilo at Game File, new details have emerged outlining the reasons behind the DLC’s cancellation.
