New Update From Studio For Star Wars: KOTOR Remake
A new statement has been made about the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake (KOTOR Remake), which Star Wars fans have been waiting for for years. Saber Interactive has broken its long-standing silence and confirmed that the project is still in development. The remake project, which was first announced in 2021 and whose progress was repeatedly halted due to various problems, has rekindled hope in the gaming world.
Was Star Wars: KOTOR Remake Canceled?
Star Wars: KOTOR Remake created great excitement when it was announced for PlayStation 5 and PC in 2021. However, the game’s developer studio Aspyr was unable to complete the project due to problems in 2022. At this point, Saber Interactive, the developer of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, stepped in and took over the project. However, the fact that no concrete progress has been seen on the project since then has increased concerns among fans that the project has been canceled.
Saber Interactive’s creative director Tim Willits said on social media, “All the games we’ve announced are still in development. We’ll announce when we have new information to share.” This statement indicates that KOTOR Remake is still alive.
Star Wars: KOTOR Remake was being developed by Aspyr when it was first announced. However, the project came to the fore in 2022 with statements that it had “serious issues” and was “indefinitely delayed.” Saber Interactive later took over the project, but events such as the studio’s parting ways with Embracer Group made the future of the project uncertain.
Saber Interactive is currently working on multiple projects, including John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, Jurassic Park Survival, and Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 3. This intensity may have made the development process of KOTOR Remake even more difficult.
Tim Willits’ statements confirm that the game is still in development, but no clear information was given about the release date. Star Wars: KOTOR Remake aims to retell one of the most beloved stories in the Star Wars universe with modern technology, and fans are hoping to be rewarded with a quality experience after all this wait.
