The name Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic brings back feelings of nostalgia and excitement for fans. However, there has been a lot of discussion and speculation surrounding the game recently. Initially, the game was being developed by Aspyr Media, but last year, the responsibility was shifted to Saber Interactive. This move, combined with the indefinite delay, has led to rumors about the fate of the much-anticipated remake.
The situation surrounding the remake’s development became more uncertain when journalist Jeff Grubb claimed it had stopped entirely, even at Saber Interactive. Naturally, this raised doubts about the project’s future. However, another respected gaming journalist, Jason Schreier, gave a different perspective, a surprising turn of events.
In a recent post on ResetEra, Schreier shared insights that could rekindle hope among fans. According to his conversations with two individuals from Saber Interactive, work on the Knights of the Old Republic remake is ongoing. This revelation challenges the notion that the project has been abandoned.
Schreier, however, does not shy away from expressing his reservations. He articulates three pertinent questions: “Is it alive?” “Will it ever actually come out?” and “If it does ever come out, what will it actually look like?” These inquiries highlight the uncertainty and complexity surrounding the project’s future.
Adding to the enigma is the stance of Saber Interactive’s parent company, Embracer Group, which has consistently refrained from commenting on the project’s status. This silence from a critical stakeholder only adds layers to the mystery enveloping the remake’s development.
