Behaviour Interactive buys multimedia firm Fly Studio

The CEO of Saber Interactive has confirmed that its remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still in active development.

Since its reveal at PlayStation Showcase in 2021, Star Wars: The Knights of the Old Republic Remake has had a tumultuous development history. The remake of the beloved RPG from 2003 was delayed indefinitely and changed developers in 2022, with Saber Interactive taking over from Aspyr. Last month, Saber along with other studios under its brand and its licensed IPs, was sold for $247 million by Embracer Group, creating further uncertainty around the remake project. Now, Saber has confirmed that the studio is still working on the game.

The fate of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake has been in doubt for a long time. First announced in 2021, it was reported just a few months later that the game’s development had been paused indefinitely, with Saber Interactive allegedly taking over production. What followed was persistent radio silence from all parties involved, and though there were some claims that the remake had been cancelled entirely, it was reported last November that Saber was still working on it.
