You'd struggle to find a game right now more up in the air than the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that was first announced back in 2021, a project that has swapped developers multiple times since then and very few official updates on whether it will actually release at all.

Sony announced a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic three years ago during the 2021 PlayStation Showcase. Since then, the trailer was delisted, it was indefinitely delayed, and it changed developers.

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.
