Yes, Saber Interactive’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is still on the way.

Talking to IGN, chief creative officer of Saber and former co-owner, director, and level designer of id Software, Tim Willits, was coy with the details, but did say: “Yes, it is still in development. That’s all I can say”.

A Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake was first announced for PlayStation 5 and PC back in 2021, with developer Aspyr at the helm. Since then, however, the project has been dogged by rumours of behind-the-scenes difficulties, with a report in 2022 claiming it was “in serious trouble” and “delayed indefinitely”.

Shortly after that, it was confirmed Warhammer 40K: Space Marine developer Saber Interactive had taken over development duties, but still nothing has been seen of the project since its initial unveiling. More reports of its apparent demise surfaced in 2023 – although those were quickly rebuffed – and the project’s future was called into question again in 2024 when Saber Interactive split with parent company Embracer Group.

By the time Saber announced it was starting up development on Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 3, Willits took to social media to reassure fans that its other announced games remain unaffected, but there’s been very little detail since.

Sadly, it seems Willits is no more willing to give us more information now than he was back then, but given KOTOR’s lengthy and troubled development pipeline, at least we know the project is still alive.

Question is, will we get it before the upcoming Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic? Veteran developer and director, Casey Hudson, recently told us not to “worry about the ‘not till 2030’ rumours – game will be out before then. I’m not getting any younger!”
