The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Heritage Pack, a collection of seven older Star Wars games, is getting a physical release on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch. It includes both of the KOTOR games, but for whatever reason, they aren't actually on the Switch cartridge. Instead, anyone with the game will still have to get them via a digital download.
The other five games, including 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Force Unleashed and Jedi Academy, will be included in the box, and won't require an additional download. The collection is also significantly cheaper to pick up physically than it is on digital storefronts, with the Heritage Pack open for pre-order at $59.99, as opposed to its original price of $79.99 on the eShop.

While this is a huge saving, there's some disappointment with the KOTOR games not being included on the cartridge, particularly since a bulky game like The Force Unleashed is. It's not clear why the KOTOR games were singled out in this way, but they're at least made accessible through the physical release - so long as you have the internet connection required to install them.
Here's the full list of Star Wars games included in the Heritage Pack.
- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
- Star Wars: Republic Commando
- Star Wars: Episode I Racer
- Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
- Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords
There's no word on the Star Wars: Heritage Pack getting a physical launch on any other platforms. Right now, a collection with the same name is available on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation, but it doesn't include either KOTOR game or The Force Unleashed. There's also no saying when or if these games will be ported to other platforms, even if it's just in a digital capacity.
The physical launch comes as Aspyr and the Knights of the Old Republic series as a whole appear to be in trouble, particularly with the KOTOR Remake. Trailers for this long-awaited ꦡproject were deleted by Sony, igniting fears that it had been cancelled. Sony later said this was just due to an issue with licenced music within the trailer, but Embracer Group has refused to coꦉmment on whether or not the game is still in development.
Then, there's the class a🃏ction lawsuit brought against Aspyr, S🍨aber Interactive, and Embracer Group over the KOTOR 2 port on Switch. It was originally announced that a popular restored content mod would be added as DLC later down the line, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:but this was canned after launch. As a result, some fans are trying to sue the developers and publisher, although judging by recent develop♍ments in the case, it appe🐲ars it may be dismissed soon.
