Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords Release Date Announced for Nintendo Switch
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords will officially be released on Nintendo Switch on June 8, 2022.
The news was shared during Star Wars Celebration, and the teaser trailer gives a glimpse of the game in action and the promise that "Restored Content DLC" is coming soon.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords will soon join Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic on Switch, as the original arrived on Nintendo's latest console in November 2021.
The original Knights of the Old Republic is being remade for PS5, but there has been no word as of yet as to whether the sequel will also get the remake treatment.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords was first released on Xbox in 2004 before making its way to PC in 2005.
In our review of KOTOR II: The Sith Lords, we said, "If you like roleplaying games or if you like Star Wars, you'll be hard pressed to find a game as enjoyable as Knights of the Old Republic II. Sure, it's got some technical problems and, sure, it starts fairly slowly but if you can see past those flaws, you're in for one hell of a treat."
For more, check out the announcement and trailer of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and all the biggest news from Star Wars Celebration, what Knights of the Old Republic 3 would have been, why KOTOR 2 tells one of our writer's favorite Star Wars stories, and why we believe the world is ready for a new entry in the series.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Announced, First Trailer and 2023 Release Revealed
The first trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor premiered as part of Star Wars Celebration. The sequel to Respawn’s critically-acclaimed Star Wars game is set to be released in 2023.
In a brief, cinematic trailer we see Cal Kestis after the events of Jedi: Fallen Order. Where he is still on the run from the Empire. While the trailer is short on plot, it’s got plenty of Star Wars with new inquisitors and new mysteries.
Curiously, Cal who spent the previous game gaining a family of allies is all alone. And his lightsaber which he spent so much time rebuilding appears to fall into the hands of the Empire. Essentially, Cal is in a bad place at the start of Jedi: Survivor.
Respawn’s next Star Wars action RPG will be released on next-gen platforms PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. EA doesn’t make mention of past-gen consoles, but with developers moving towards new-gen systems there’s a good chance Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is too.
The trailer premiered during Star Wars Celebration amid the buzz of new trailers for upcoming Star Wars shows like Andor, and Mandalorian season 3.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was one of the best-reviewed games when it was released, and a big coup for Respawn who were primarily known for their online multiplayer games like Titanfall and Apex Legends. By combining Star Wars with a deep single-player story campaign and Souls-like action RPG mechanics, Respawn brought Star Wars into the modern era. Check out IGN's review for Jedi: Fallen Order here.
While short, the Jedi: Survivor trailer is chock-full of tantalizing narrative threads, so check out our deep dive into the trailer for all the storylines and secrets we’ve uncovered.

Destiny 2: Where Is Xur Today? Location and Exotic Items for May 27-31
Everyone's favorite hoarder, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.
Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.
We've rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.
Where Is Xûr Today?
Xûr's location can be found at The Tower on May 27 through May 31. To reach him, travel to the landing point at The Courtyard and make your way to the Hangar. You'll find ol' snake-face chilling near the stairs at the back of the Hangar area.
What's Xûr Selling Today?
Xûr has at least one good find this week. Check out this exotic gear!
Exotic Engram
The Colony - Exotic Grenade Launcher
Wormhusk Crown - Exotic Hunter Helmet
- 17 Mobility
- 6 Resilience
- 7 Recovery
- 9 Discipline
- 11 Intellect
- 10 Strength
- Total: 60
Heart of Inmost Light - Exotic Titan Chest Armor
- 4 Mobility
- 29 Resilience
- 2 Recovery
- 8 Discipline
- 9 Intellect
- 12 Strength
- Total: 64
Karnstein Armlets - Exotic Warlock Gauntlets
- 22 Mobility
- 7 Resilience
- 3 Recovery
- 7 Discipline
- 2 Intellect
- 21 Strength
- Total: 62
The Titan chest piece, Heart of Inmost Light, isn't my favorite exotic in the world, but the roll this week is undeniably spiky in a major way, especially with the importance of Resilience in the current season. Pick it up just in case it ever becomes good if for no other reason. The Warlock Karnstein Armlets are especially good gloves for the current season and this is a pretty spiky roll that could work well with some Warlock builds, so I'd recommend picking that up as well.
Exotic Weapons
Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon
- Paracausal Shot
- Fluted Barrel
- Alloy Magazine
- Moving Target
- Heavy Grip
Dead Man's Tale - Exotic Scout Rifle
- Cranial Spike
- Arrowhead Brake
- Steady Rounds
- Moving Target
- Composite Stock
Neither of these weapons has a particularly incredible roll this week, so I'd recommend waiting for better rolls unless for some reason you still don't have one or both in your collections.
Legendary Weapons
Long Shadow - Sniper Rifle
- ATD Raptor/ZTA Scout
- Tactical MAg/Alloy Mag
- Hip-Fire Grip
- Explosive Payload
- Stability Masterwork
Seventh Seraph Saw - Machine Gun
- Fluted Barrel/Full Bore
- Appended Mag/Light Mag
- Field Prep
- Firing Line
- Reload Speed Masterwork
Seventh Seraph SI-2 - Sidearm
- Arrowhead Brake/Full Bore
- Extended Mag/Flared Magwell
- Hip-Fire Grip
- Snapshot Sights
- Range Masterwork
Whispering Slab - Combat Bow
- Agile Bowstring/Natural String
- Carbon Arrow Shaft/Fiberglass Arrow Shaft
- Archer's Tempo
- Demolitionist
- Accuracy Masterwork
Widow's Bite - Sniper Rifle
- Arrowhead Brake/Corkscrew Rifling
- Alloy Magazine/Flared Magwell
- Firmly Planted
- Eye of the Storm
- Range Masterwork
Royal Entry - Rocket Launcher
- Countermass/Quick Launch
- Black Powder/High-Velocity Rounds
- Field Prep
- Unrelenting
- Velocity Masterwork
Eternal Blazon - Scout Rifle
- Signal MS5/Jolt PS
- Extended Mag/Alloy Magazine
- Full Auto Trigger System
- Distruption Break
- Stability Masterwork
The highlights for me this week are the Seventh Seraph Saw, which has a killer combo of Field Prep and Firing Line that works well for a machine gun, and the Seventh Seraph SI-2 sidearm with an awesome PvP-focused set of perks. Everything else is either just okay, or completely laughable, especially that trash-tier Long Shadow roll.
Warlock Legendary Armor
For Warlocks, Xûr is selling the Xenos Vale IV set which includes:
Xenos Vale IV Gauntlets
- 2 Mobility
- 12 Resilience
- 14 Recovery
- 16 Discipline
- 2 Intellect
- 13 Strength
- Total: 59
Xenos Vale IV Chest Armor
- 9 Mobility
- 9 Resilience
- 12 Recovery
- 2 Discipline
- 15 Intellect
- 14 Strength
- Total: 61
Xenos Vale IV Helmet
- 9 Mobility
- 17 Resilience
- 2 Recovery
- 14 Discipline
- 6 Intellect
- 12 Strength
- Total: 60
Xenos Vale IV Leg Armor
- 22 Mobility
- 2 Resilience
- 2 Recovery
- 9 Discipline
- 18 Intellect
- 6 Strength
- Total: 59
Xenos Vale Bond
Warlocks drew the short end of the Xur stick this week, with very few interesting rolls and no spikiness. That's what you get for winning Guardian Games, Warlocks!
Titan Legendary Armor
For Titans, Xûr is selling the Shelter In Place set which includes:
Shelter In Place Gauntlets
- 2 Mobility
- 26 Resilience
- 2 Recovery
- 7 Discipline
- 16 Intellect
- 8 Strength
- Total: 61
Shelter In Place Chest Armor
- 9 Mobility
- 7 Resilience
- 15 Recovery
- 2 Discipline
- 18 Intellect
- 11 Strength
- Total: 62
Shelter In Place Helmet
- 8 Mobility
- 16 Resilience
- 8 Recovery
- 2 Discipline
- 8 Intellect
- 19 Strength
- Total: 61
Shelter In Place Leg Armor
- 2 Mobility
- 18 Resilience
- 12 Recovery
- 7 Discipline
- 9 Intellect
- 15 Strength
- Total: 63
Mark of Shelter
Titans have some decent rolls this week, especially those very Titan-friendly boots, but nothing that's a must-have this week. Pick up what you need and forget the rest!
Hunter Legendary Armor
For Hunters, Xûr is selling the Took Offense set which includes:
Took Offense Gauntlets
- 14 Mobility
- 2 Resilience
- 16 Recovery

- Total: 57
Took Offense Leg Armor
- 2 Mobility
- 24 Resilience
- 2 Recovery
- 2 Discipline
- 7 Intellect
- 20 Strength
- Total: 57
Took Offense Cloak
Hunters are getting a lot of love this week and not just from their ridiculous Solar 3.0 builds. The guantlets and chest armor this week are especially delightful, so pick them up if they pair well with your new fire-based build.
That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! How are you enjoying the Season of the Haunted so far? Let me know in the comments! For more on Destiny, check out some of the new weapons and gear you can find in The Witch Queen and read about how Sony's purchase of Bungie fits into its larger plans.

WB Changes Batgirl’s Gotham Knights Biography Following Criticism
WB Montreal has responded to criticism that Batgirl's official biography for Gotham Knights is a harmful trope of disabled people, and has made adjustments to her description accordingly.
In a Discord Q&A, as reported by Eurogamer, Gotham Knights developers acknowledged the controversy around Barbara Gordon, whose biography was published to the game's website recently. The initial criticism of her backstory centered on her ending up in a wheelchair after an unspecified "face-off" but returning to "active duty" as Batgirl following training.
While it's unclear what her injury in Gotham Knights entails, in the comics, Barbara is shot in the spine, and many fans pointed out that overcoming a disability through sheer training and determination is an inaccurate and harmful trope throughout media.
During the Q&A, however, creative director Patrick Redding said that the Gotham Knights team "worked with the awesome folks at AbleGamers to learn about different types of spinal injuries and the potential for someone to regain mobility."
He then noted that her biography on the official website has since been adjusted to read, "With extensive training and rehabilitation, she recovered from her wounds, and returned to active duty as Batgirl." Additionally, he clarified that the specifics of her injury in Gotham Knights would differ from the comics, and that she had undergone multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and pain management. She also wears clothing with "back bracing integrated," and some of her rehabilitation process will be depicted in Gotham Knights itself.
Gotham Knights is headed to PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC on October 25, but will skip PS4 and Xbox One. It's set in a different universe from the Arkhan games, and includes a combat system specifically designed for co-op.
