Again in 2021, a PlayStation showcase introduced that Aspyr was growing the often-rumored remake of Star Wars: Knights Of The Previous Republic. Sadly, that was just about the final constructive piece of reports we received out of that mission — up till now.

In 2022, we realized that mum or dad firm Embracer Group had dropped Aspyr because the developer and chosen its personal Saber Interactive because the substitute. A studio swap is normally troubling information, however the obvious writing on the wall got here solely three days in the past when Large Bomb’s Jeff Grubb stated that “this recreation just isn’t being labored on proper now.”

Fortunately, nevertheless, it looks like the rumors of the KOTOR remake’s dying may have been exaggerated. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has tweeted that whereas he doesn’t know whether or not or not the sport will ever come out, he experiences from two sources at Saber Interactive that they’re nonetheless engaged on it.

Cannot say whether or not the KOTOR Remake will ever really *come out*, however sure, two folks from Saber Interactive inform me they’re nonetheless on it, regardless of latest rumors that no one is engaged on the sport.

Embracer has but to touch upon the matter, so we nonetheless don’t know the corporate’s present plans for the remake. When requested about it throughout a latest Embracer monetary presentation, CEO Lars Wingefors declined to supply a remark, saying “I discover something I say to this turns into a headline, so that’s my solely remark.”

We would not be taught a lot for some time, contemplating how Embracer goes by a troubled interval. Volition was shut down, Free Radical reportedly faces closure, and its layoffs in only one quarter have reached titanic proportions.

The scenario sucks, for builders and gamers. Individuals who’ve performed the unique upon launch and the various extra who received to expertise it within the twenty years which have since handed would seemingly like to revisit Knights of the Previous Republic in a remake. However whether or not that may ever really occur or not stays unclear.
