The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is Still Alive, According to Saber Interactive

Five years after its announcement, Saber Interactive confirms that the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is still in development.
Five years after its initial announcement, the long-rumored Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is somehow still in the works. In a recent interview with IGN South Africa, Saber Interactive Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits offered a brief update on the project's current status when asked about its future, confirming simply that it remains in development. For a project that has shifted studios and faced endless behind the scenes uncertainty, this small confirmation will have to suffice for an anxious community.
Announced originally as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive before hitting turbulence, the remake of BioWare's 2003 RPG classic has endured a notoriously rocky pipeline. Development moved from Aspyr to Saber Interactive after a reported gameplay demo failed to impress leadership at Sony and Lucasfilm. Since then, official updates have been remarkably sparse, leaving fans to parse every corporate earnings call and passing developer comment for signs of life.
While hearing that the game is still breathing brings a baseline level of relief, seasoned players know that survival does not automatically mean a smooth launch. In an era where triple-A development cycles routinely span half a decade or longer before bearing fruit, holding onto nostalgia requires immense patience. Until Saber shares actual gameplay or a concrete release window, the KOTOR remake remains an exercise in quiet endurance for a player base that desperately wants to revisit the classic era of the Force.
