A remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was announced way back in 2021, but since then, we’ve seen nothing from it. In fact, whatever version of the game was in development back then has been scrapped, as the project traded hands from Aspyr to Saber.
That was some time ago, and still, we’ve seen nothing. Embracer and even Disney itself have dodged questions about it, and there's been no proof of life in years. However, there’s a good chance that will change very soon.
Reliable Source Says We’re Getting Another KOTOR Reveal This Year
YouTuber 100% Star Wars says that he’s heard from his sources that the KOTOR Remake is getting re-revealed this year.
“As I've mentioned before, development on the game has not only been ramping up, but it's been going extremely smoothly over the past three years since Saber started from scratch,” says 100% Star Wars.
He goes on to say that he is aware of a “reveal being planned for this year”.
“As of right this second, it is still planned to be revealed sometime this year,” he says. “Which likely means that 2027 is going to be the year where the marketing for the KOTOR remake really kicks off in some capacity.”
He does speculate that, if there is a delay, it would be into early 2027 to coincide with Star Wars Celebration. But with that said, there are plenty of opportunities to showcase the KOTOR Remake, like Gamescom Opening Night Live and The Game Awards, or perhaps one of the big publisher showcases like Sony’s State of Play.
100% Star Wars has previously revealed details about the KOTOR Remake’s troubled development before others, so there’s a good chance that this is true. If so, that might mean the remake isn’t as far away as we feared - or worse, cancelled outright.
It has also been claimed previously that Disney is interested in a remake of KOTOR 2. There’s no telling which studio would be put on that, and maybe it’s all dependent on this remake’s success. Indeed, there’s a lot of pressure on the team to deliver after all of this time.
