It’s been a confusing week for Star Wars fans who’s been eagerly awaiting for this one
According to a report that contradicts recent rumors, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is still in the works.
Earlier today, November 22, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier commented on the KOTOR Remake situation at Saber Interactive. Schreier claims to have spoken with two studio employees, both of whom confirm that the Star Wars remake is still in the works.
This contradicts rumors that surfaced earlier this week. According to Game Mess Mornings host Jeff Grubb, the KOTOR Remake was effectively “dead” at Saber Interactive, with no one working on the Star Wars remake at all. “It seems deader than dogshit,” Grubb said, referring to Sony’s alleged withdrawal from funding the remake.
The first negative reports about the KOTOR Remake surfaced last year, in August 2022. Schreier claimed that the game had changed studios, from Aspyr Media to Saber Interactive, after a poorly received demo of the remake.
Since then, Embracer’s parent company has made several exasperated ‘no comments’ about the KOTOR Remake. Embracer’s CEO stated earlier this month that he does not want to comment on the KOTOR Remake because he does not like articles about the Remake circulating, which causes more articles about the Remake to circulate.
Whatever the case may be with the KOTOR Remake, it’s been several years since Embracer first announced the project, and we’re still no closer to finding out what’s going on behind the scenes. Many old-school Star Wars fans will undoubtedly be concerned about the remake of their beloved game.
