Star Wars: KOTOR Remake Rumors Debunked

Author : Zoe May 12,2025

The highly anticipated Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) Remake was first revealed to the public back in September 2021. Since then, fans have been left in a limbo of uncertainty, fueled only by fleeting rumors about its progress. Now, it appears that the long-awaited release might not come to fruition, as disheartening news has surfaced. Alex Smith, the former head of Bend Studio and a key figure behind the iconic Syphon Filter series, has shared some troubling insights.

On his X account, Smith disclosed that the development of the SW: KotOR Remake has been entirely stopped. This contradicts earlier statements from Saber Interactive in 2024, which claimed that the project was still in progress. According to Smith, some team members have been shifted to other projects, while others have faced layoffs. If this turns out to be accurate, it would be a devastating blow to the dedicated fans eagerly awaiting the revival of this cherished RPG.

It's important to consider the credibility of Smith's claims. He has a history of providing reliable insider information, such as his hints about an upcoming announcement from Housemarque, which indeed came to pass. However, his predictions about the release dates for Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei were off the mark, suggesting that his statements should be approached with cautious optimism.

As of now, neither Saber Interactive nor Aspyr has issued any official statements regarding these developments, leaving the future of the SW: KotOR Remake shrouded in mystery. Fans remain hopeful yet anxious, awaiting concrete updates on this beloved project.
