The saga of the Knights of the Previous Republic remake is starting to look more and more like Star Wars’ personal more and more convoluted expanded universe, as two builders have reportedly now insisted that, sure, they’re nonetheless engaged on it – regardless of latest reviews on the contrary.

To catch you up on the will-they-won’t-they (ever really launch KOTOR) drama to this point, the query marks surrounding the Recreation stem from a report final 12 months that the basic BioWare RPG had been indefinitely delayed, following a poor reception to an inner demo that led to each its artwork and design administrators being dropped from the venture.

Shortly afterwards, the venture modified fingers from unique builders Aspyr Media (owned by Embracer) to Saber Interactive (additionally owned by Embracer). Embracer, for his or her half, have refused to say something official in regards to the KOTOR remake because it was first introduced again in 2021. Most lately, CEO Lars Wingefors took a break from shedding tons of of employees and shuttering beloved studios to refuse to touch upon the remake’s standing, saying: “I discover something I say to this turns into a headline, so that’s my solely remark.”

That not-comment adopted the sudden disappearance of posts and a trailer hosted by the official PlayStation YouTube channel, with Sony later claiming that the vanishing act was all the way down to nothing extra suspicious than routine clearing up as a result of expired music licences. Which in itself is pretty suspicious, provided that loads of different Star Wars trailers stay stay years after being uploaded – and the KOTOR remake video solely featured the collection’ important theme as its soundtrack.

Including to the rising sense of Having a Unhealthy Feeling About This was a contemporary report from famous business insider Jeff Grubb, who lately claimed he might “100% affirm” that the brand new Knights of the Previous Republic “will not be being labored on in any means, by any studio”.

Now, issues have taken yet one more flip – albeit this time providing a small glimmer of hope for these holding out for the Recreation’s eventual look.

Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has claimed that two sources from present KOTOR devs Saber Interactive have denied Grubb’s report that the venture had been placed on carbonite, stating that the 2 builders “inform me they’re nonetheless on it, regardless of latest rumors that no one is engaged on the Recreation”.

As Schreier famous, whether or not which means the Recreation will ever come out is a really completely different query – however, not less than by this newest report, not less than two persons are nonetheless engaged on it. In the meanwhile, that’s.
