Moreover, the development of a game’s graphics, sound, quests, and side-quests takes quite some time. SWTOR was released almost after 8 years of the KOTOR video game because the creators of the game were working on ways to adapt the comics into a potent role-playing video game that could be enjoyed by the audience members. While KOTOR happens shortly after the establishment of the Galactic Republic, SWTOR happens afterward, when tensions between the reemergence of the Sith and the Republic begin brewing. The cinematics of SWTOR suggests that it is way into the future after KOTOR. This would imply that the events displayed in SWTOR and the quests designed for the players happen about 300 years after the Knights of the Old Republic events. According to most gaming and Star Wars enthusiasts, SWTOR is located about 300 years after KOTOR. This implies that invariably KOTOR’s storyline is located way ahead of SWTOR. This means that there is a gap of almost 8 years between the two games.Īlternatively, in terms of locating the two games in the Star Wars fictional world, KOTOR is the predecessor to SWTOR. Both these games have since witnessed several updates, but it is prudent to take into account their initial market launch dates to understand their chronology. SWTOR was released to the public as late as 2011. However, SWTOR -as a sequel to KOTOR- came into the market much later. In terms of their original market release dates, KOTOR was released as a part of the coveted fictional universe in 2003. Thus, it is important to understand the chronology of these video games to cognize their in-story events. These in-game quests are specifically designed keeping in mind the timeline that is being addressed by the game. Each of these video games has a specific storyline for the players to pursue.
