Sea view
The past year has looked dire for the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Among other things, rumors had it that Embracer Group had shelved the project, but with the sale of developer Saber Interactive, things seem to have resolved.
In an interview with IGNSaber CEO Matthew Karch assured that the team will continue with the new version, known as KOTOR Remake.
– It is quite obvious that we are working on this. It has been in the media repeatedly. What I can say is that the game is alive and well, and we are betting everything on exceeding consumer expectations.
Karch did not want to give more details. Exactly how the work will proceed thus remains to be seen. However, in connection with the sale of Saber, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors indicated that launch is probably still some way off.

The KOTOR renovation was originally announced back in 2021. Details about the project have always been vague, aside from the fact that the experience will be built from the ground up. It was Aspyr who first took on the renovation job, before Embracer handed over the reins to Saber – allegedly after a troubled development period.
Saber’s new owners, a private company managed by Karch, also got more than just Star Wars in the acquisition. Included in the agreement were 38 game projects, a bunch of studios and over 3,000 employees.
