It has only been six months since fans have heard anything regarding the KOTOR remake, and today, fans have finally received some welcome news on the remake front.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a polarizing game that is fondly remembered from 2003. Since before its announcement in 2021, there have been many rumours regarding a KOTOR Remake, which did receive an exciting announcement. Saber Interactive was set to lead the charge on development, and things were moving smoothly until the remake ghosted the internet entirely. In September of 2023, all traces of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake vanished, including the trailer revealed in 2021. While Saber Interactive gave confirmation the remake was still in development in November 2023, yesterday the Saber CEO, Matthew Karch sat down with IGN to confirm the remake is still alive and well.
Matthew Karch said, “It’s clear, and it’s obvious that we’re working on this,” with “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.” While this isn’t the smoking gun some fans may have been clamouring for, this is confirmation during an interview that the KOTOR Remake is still active and no longer in development purgatory.
While very minimal official updates surrounding the KOTOR Remake have been given, fans can relive the excitement from the Sony State of Play in 2021 above, with the original (which was then deleted but reposted) trailer that launched in 2021 announcing the remake’s existence. Fans looking for more updates surrounding the BioWare KOTOR series can check out this update on the restored content for the KOTOR sequel, although it is a sad report that all but confirms restored content will not be making it to consoles.
