The project was first unveiled to the public in September 2021, sparking excitement among fans. However, since then, only vague rumors have circulated about its fate. Now, it seems that instead of the long-awaited release, fans may be in for disappointing news. This information comes from Alex Smith, the former head of Bend Studio and one of the creators of the legendary Syphon Filter series.
On his X account, Smith claimed that work on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) Remake has been completely halted. This statement contradicts Saber Interactive's 2024 announcement that development was ongoing. According to Smith, some employees working on the project were reassigned to other tasks, while others were outright laid off. If this information proves true, it will be a devastating blow to fans who have been eagerly anticipating a remake of the iconic RPG.
It's worth noting that Alex Smith has a history of sharing reliable insider information. For instance, he hinted at an upcoming announcement of a new game from Housemarque, which later turned out to be accurate. However, his predictions regarding the release dates of Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei were inaccurate, so his statements should be approached with a degree of skepticism.
Official representatives from Saber Interactive and Aspyr have yet to comment on this information, leaving fans in the dark about the future of the project.
