Star Wars: KOTOR Remake Rumored Canceled

The much-anticipated SW: KotOR Remake project was first introduced to the public in September 2021, but since then, only vague rumors have been swirling about its progress. Now, it appears that instead of the eagerly awaited release, fans might face disappointing news. This unsettling update comes from Alex Smith, the former head of Bend Studio and a key figure behind the iconic Syphon Filter series.

On his X account, Smith revealed that the development of the SW: KotOR Remake has been entirely halted. This claim contradicts Saber Interactive's 2024 statement that the project was still in development. According to Smith, some team members have been reassigned to other projects, while others have been laid off. If these reports are accurate, it would be a devastating blow to the fans who have been eagerly anticipating a remake of the beloved RPG.

It's important to consider that Alex Smith has a track record of sharing reliable insider information. For instance, he accurately hinted at an upcoming announcement from Housemarque, which later proved true. 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 some caution.

As of now, official representatives from Saber Interactive and Aspyr have not provided any comments on this matter, leaving fans in suspense about the future of the SW: KotOR Remake project.
