Knights of The Old Republic II Now Supports Achievements on Steam

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II is a masterpiece and one of the greatest role-playing games ever created. On launch, the game felt quite rushed and lacked a certain level of polish. Additionally, the abrupt ending left fans wanting more. Thankfully, the passionate fanbase helped restore some of the lost content and consistently improved KOTOR II to reach its full potential. While the first game is arguably better, I still have a soft spot for its sequel and anxiously wait for another entry in the series. Although, this doesn’t look likely.

Despite this, the developer Aspyr has released a mammoth update to KOTOR II which includes Steam achievements and technical fixes. It’s a testament to the PC gaming industry that fairly old games are periodically updated. Here’s a complete rundown of the patch notes:

– Added 20 user-generated achievements (see pinned thread for details)
