In the midst of a tumultuous development journey, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake faced its share of setbacks and, fortunately, resurrections.
The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) remake has had a tough time. Announced in 2021 after three years of development at Aspyr, then cancelled due to lack of progress, it has eventually been resurrected by Saber Interactive. It looks like they are determined to bring the project over the finishing line.
A Journey Through Development Turmoil
While official updates on the game's progress have been few and far between since then, Sabre Interactive CEO Matthew Karch has now announced that KOTOR is still in development and progressing.
After the company split from the Embracer group, they took the remake with them and are still actively working on it. In an interview with IGN, Karch said:
"It's clear and it's obivous that we're working on this. 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."
Leaked Concept Art Surfaces
Adding to the ongoing mystery, a piece of concept art from the KOTOR Remake recently surfaced online, reportedly showing Kashyyyk, the homeworld of the Wookiee race. While the image is said to originate from the personal site of a former concept artist who left the project back in 2021, it remains the most concrete glimpse we’ve had of the remake in years. However, given that it’s at least four years old, its relevance to the current state of development is uncertain.
