KOTOR Remake Rumored Canceled

The project was initially revealed to the public in September 2021, but only sporadic rumors have surfaced about its status since then. Recent developments suggest fans might face disappointing news rather than the anticipated release. This information comes from Alex Smith — former Bend Studio lead and co-creator of the acclaimed Syphon Filter series.

Development Reportedly Suspended

On his X account, Smith stated that work on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) Remake has entirely ceased—contradicting Saber Interactive's 2024 claim that development was still underway. According to him, some team members were reassigned to other projects, while others faced layoffs. If verified, this would deal a significant blow to fans eagerly awaiting the remake of the beloved RPG.

Credibility Questions Remain

While Smith has shared accurate leaks in the past—such as correctly hinting at Housemarque's upcoming game announcement—his track record isn’t flawless. Previous predictions regarding Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei’s release windows proved inaccurate, so his latest claims should be approached with caution.

Neither Saber Interactive nor Aspyr have officially addressed these reports, leaving project supporters uncertain about its future.
