UPDATE 22/11/23: Sources at Saber Interactive have told Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier that the KOTOR Remake still being worked on, contradicting this week’s previous report that the game was “not being worked on in any way at any studio”.
Schreier said (via ResetEra) he had spoken to two developers at Saber who both claimed to still be working on the project.
“‘Is it alive?’ and ‘Will it ever actually come out?’ are two very different questions,” Schreier noted. “A third is ‘If it does ever come out, what will it actually look like?'”

ORIGINAL STORY 20/11/23: The fate of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is once again up in the air, after a new report that the game is not currently being worked on at developer Saber Interactive.
Development of the KOTOR remake has been rocky since it was first announced, and last week Lars Wingefors, CEO of Saber owner Embracer, refused to comment on the state of the game during an earnings presentation.
In response to this, Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb has stated the game is “not being worked on right now” according to sources close to the project. “Full stop, this game is not being worked on in any way at any studio.”
Referring to Sony scrubbing KOTOR Remake trailers from the internet in September 2023, which the company said was due to music licenses expiring, Grubb said those who’ve been eagerly awaiting updates on the game are probably not surprised. “Just to 100 percent confirm it,” he reiterated, “this game is not being worked on right now.”
