KOTOR Remake Canceled Amid Rumors

The project was initially announced to the public in September 2021, but since then only scattered rumors have surfaced about its progress. Now, rather than the highly anticipated launch, fans may face disappointing developments. At least, this is what Alex Smith — former Bend Studio lead and co-creator of the acclaimed Syphon Filter series — has suggested. Posting on his X account, Smith asserted that development on SW: KotOR Remake has been fully suspended (despite Saber Interactive's 2024 statement confirming active development). He reported that some team members were reassigned to different projects while others faced outright termination. Should this prove accurate, it would represent a crushing disappointment for fans eagerly awaiting this RPG remake. It's important to note that Smith has a track record of accurate insider information. For instance, he correctly predicted Housemarque's upcoming game announcement. However, his estimations regarding Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei release windows proved incorrect, so his claims warrant cautious consideration. Neither Saber Interactive nor Aspyr have issued official statements addressing these claims, leaving the project's status uncertain and fans without clarity about its future.
