KOTOR Remake Still Alive, Slay the Spire 2 Dominates Early Access, and Mario Galaxy Movie Direct Incoming
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Saber Interactive confirms the KOTOR remake is still in development, Slay the Spire 2 dominates Marathon in early Steam numbers, and Nintendo announces a Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct.
The long-awaited Knights of the Old Republic remake is still happening, according to a brief update from developer Saber Interactive. As IGN reported in their Daily Fix, the studio offered little more than confirmation that the project is still in development. For a community that has weathered years of radio silence and studio shuffles, the confirmation is welcome, but players will likely need to wait much longer before seeing any actual gameplay or trailers.
Meanwhile, the PC charts are telling a very different story for this week's major releases. Slay the Spire 2 launched into Early Access and immediately crushed the competition, pulling in nearly five times the concurrent Steam players of Bungie's new multiplayer shooter, Marathon. Marathon has faced a notoriously lengthy development cycle as Bungie attempts to reboot its classic nineties franchise for the modern extraction shooter crowd, and this early player engagement gap highlights just how hungry the community is for polished deckbuilding roguelikes over unproven live-service bets.
Looking ahead to next week, Nintendo has scheduled a dedicated broadcast focusing entirely on the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Streaming this Monday at 2pm ET, the event marks another major push into multimedia dominance for Nintendo as they translate iconic platforming universes into cinematic spectacles.
