Is The Old Republic before or after Kotor?

Updated on May 01, 2026
Set 3,956 years before A New Hope, Knights of the Old Republic covers the era just after that of the Tales of the Jedi comics, the time of the ancient Galactic Republic. KotOR is the first computer RPG set in the Star Wars universe.
Accordingly, does swtor take place after Kotor?
2 Answers. According to the Star Wars wikia, Knights of the Old Republic takes place in 3,956 BBY (Before the Battle for Yavin - aka the finale of Episode IV: A New Hope) which is 303 years before the BTC (Treaty of Coruscant). So KOTOR takes place about 300 years before TOR.
Beside above, are you revan in Kotor? In KOTOR you play as Revan after he's been captured and memory wiped by the Jedi. KOTOR is just another of the Star Wars, but KOTOR 2 is a meditation on that war, five years later.
Accordingly, do I need to play Kotor before swtor?
Swtor is a great game and it's story is worth trying out. If you want more lore and stories of the era I recommend both Knights of the Old Republic comics (takes place during Mandalorian Wars, i.e. before KOTOR) and Revan novel. There are also few novels tied to TOR that expands on some of the important characters.
How long after Kotor is Kotor 2?
The game takes place five years after the events of Knights of the Old Republic and 4,000 years before Episode I: The Phantom Menace, in a time when the Jedi have been nearly exterminated by the Sith. The player's character, a former Jedi Knight exiled from the Jedi Order, is referred to as "The Exile" or "Jedi Exile".

Kotor is much more immersive. Maybe that plays into the "story quality" but I enjoyed kotor's story much more than the class stories of swtor.
