It’s been a long, rough road for theStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake.
Despite its announcement in 2021, the game has already switched developers. Originally, the team atAspyr Mediawas handling the project. Then, a report in 2022 stated that the KOTOR remake had entered some major developmental problems, with the gamedelayed indefinitely. Then, in 2024, came the news that the remake was back on, according to aSaber Interactive investment report.

Remarkably, despite all the developments, twists, and turns in the KOTOR remake saga, we haven’t heard a peep of concrete information on the game.
Today, we might have our most concrete information that the game is still in active development.
Saber Interactive COOTim Willitstook to X, formerly known as Twitter, to give an update on the studio.
Saber Interactive is one of the largest independent developers in the world. We are working on numerous games across many different genres. Everything that we have talked about is still in development. We will share information on upcoming games when we have something cool to share.
Saber Interactive Confirms KOTOR Is Still In Development Without Explicity Saying It’s Still In Development
The only way Willits could have been clearer about what he’s talking about is if he had explicitly said, “The Knights of the Old Republic remake is still on.”
Yes, it’s true that Saber Interactive is currently working on many games, but I’d argue that none are as high-profile and anticipated asKOTOR.

Combine that with the comments made last year by Saber CEO Matthew Karch: “It’s clear and obvious we are working on [theKOTOR remake]. It’s been in the press numerous times. What I will say is that the game is alive and well, and we’re dedicated to making sure we exceed consumer expectations.” Saber is managing expectations. They don’t want to showcase any footage from the game before it’s ready, but they also want to calm the fears that the remake has been canceled.
One of these days, we’ll get our world premiere of gameplay for the upcoming KOTOR remake. Hopefully, it’s sooner rather than later.
