The highly anticipated Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake, first teased in September 2021, remains shrouded in uncertainty. Recent claims suggest the project may have been indefinitely halted, dashing the hopes of many fans. This news comes from Alex Smith, former head of Bend Studio and a veteran of the Syphon Filter series.
Smith, via his X account, alleges that development on the SW: KotOR Remake has ceased, contradicting Saber Interactive's 2024 statement that work was ongoing. He further claims that some team members have been reassigned, while others have been let go. Were this information confirmed, it would represent a significant setback for those eagerly awaiting this iconic RPG's remake.
It's important to consider Smith's track record. He has accurately predicted game announcements in the past, such as a new title from Housemarque. However, his predictions regarding Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Tsushima release dates proved inaccurate. Therefore, his latest claims should be treated with caution.
As of yet, Saber Interactive and Aspyr, the studios involved, have not responded to these allegations, leaving the future of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake uncertain.
