The remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has been in development for several years now, and while nothing has materialized, the project isn't dead yet. Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch says the project is "alive and well" as work continues on it, following the studio parting ways with Embracer Group recently.
"It's clear and it's obvious that we're working on this," Karch said to IGN. "It's been in the press numerous times. What I will say is that the game is alive and well, and we're dedicated to making sure we exceed consumer expectations."
Originally in development at Aspyr for three years before it was formally announced in 2021, Saber Interactive would eventually be recruited as a co-developer on this project. In 2022, Koch said that the project was shaping up to be "massive" and that the 2003 game was being remade from scratch due to its age.
Since then, there have been very few updates on the Knights of the Old Republic remake, with one report claiming it was reportedly no longer in active development. It was also reported that Saber Interactive was taking full control over the development of the title.
Meanwhile, Aspyr's recent port of Star Wars Battlefront has been met with a negative reception by fans, and it might just be one of the most disappointing games of the year. While there's no word yet on when Knights of the Old Republic remake will be released, Star Wars fans still have a lot to look forward to. Ubisoft's open-world game, Star Wars Outlaws, is preparing to release later this year and Star Wars: The Acolyte will debut on Disney+ in June.
