Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II cannot be played on Switch

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II, released this month for Nintendo Switch, is currently unfinished. Aspyr, the company responsible for porting this classic game, acknowledges the issue and says a patch is in the works.

Aspyr Media announces on Twitter that there is a known issue and that it will be addressed in the next patch. In an answer to a question from a user confirms the company that there is currently no way to complete the game on the Nintendo Switch. Aspyr says the patch will be released as soon as possible, but is not yet clear when that will happen.

On Twitter responds a user noting that the same bug was also present in the original PC game from seventeen years ago. It seems to be a crash after the so-called Basilisk Crash Cut Scene plays when players arrive on jungle world Onderon. This is roughly halfway through the story and from that moment on the game cannot be played any further.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords was released on June 8 for the Nintendo Switch. It is a port of the original RPG from 2004. The port is provided by Aspyr Media. This company is known for re-releasing older games on new platforms and has made Star Wars ports many times before.
