Developer Saber Interactive has formally confirmed that its remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is “alive and well,” but refrained from saying when fans will see a glimpse of it.
The PlayStation 5 remake of the beloved 2003 RPG has been in limbo for years, and was even feared to have been canceled altogether at one point. But there was a renewed sense of optimism after Saber Interactive split from its parent company, the Embracer Group. There was initially no official statement on the status of the Star Wars: KOTOR remake, but it was claimed Saber would continue to work on it regardless. Comments by Embracer also suggested it would remain involved, as well.
