The squad is your weapon.
STAR WARS™ Republic Commando™ is coming to #PlayStation4 and #NintendoSwitch, April 6 2021.

As we previously mentioned, Aspyr has handled the ports, which include QoL improvements, reworked controls, and trophies (PS4 version). The folks at Aspyr have gained quite a reputation re-releasing and polishing old titles, including several Star Wars games such as Knights of the Old Republic and Jedi Academy.
It appears that Disney wants to continue working with them and even strengthen the relationship, as they are likely working on a KOTOR triple-A remake/reboot of sorts, which would be their biggest project ever. Rumors also claim KOTOR 1 & 2 ports for modern consoles are coming as well, something we are inclined to believe after today’s news.
