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, has been shrouded in mystery ever since. Recent reports suggest that instead of a launch, fans may face disappointing news. This comes from Alex Smith, former head of Bend Studio and a key figure in the Syphon Filter series.

Smith’s X post claims development on the SW: KotOR Remake has completely stopped, contradicting Saber Interactive’s 2024 statement that development continued. He alleges that some team members have been reassigned, while others were let go. If true, this would be devastating news for fans eagerly awaiting this iconic RPG remake.

Smith has a track record of accurate insider information; he correctly predicted a Housemarque game announcement. However, his predictions for Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Tsushima release dates were inaccurate, so his claims should be viewed with caution.

As of yet, Saber Interactive and Aspyr have not officially responded to these allegations, leaving the future of the SW: KotOR Remake uncertain.
