Rumor: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake Canceled

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 confirming ongoing development. He further claims that some team members have been reassigned, while others have unfortunately been laid off. Were this information to be verified, it would represent a significant setback for those eagerly awaiting the remake of this beloved RPG.

It's important to consider Smith's track record. While he has accurately predicted some industry developments, such as a new Housemarque title, his predictions regarding Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Tsushima release dates proved inaccurate. Therefore, his latest assertion should be treated with a degree of caution.

As of yet, Saber Interactive and Aspyr, the studios involved, have not publicly responded to these claims, leaving the future of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake unresolved and fans anxiously awaiting official clarification.
