Kotor Remake

Gearbox Entertainment, the company behind the fan-favorite series Borderlands, confirms that it has been acquired by Take-Two Interactive/2K. While this is not necessarily surprising, as rumors have swirled around Borderlands and Gearbox's status within Embracer Group for some time, it does come in the middle of the night, almost literally, for many fans around the world.

It feels like the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake has been frozen in carbonite forever. And yet, somehow, the unfortunate project is still quite a while away from being ready for launch. Announced in 2021 with Aspyr at the helm, the project has been in Saber Interactive's hands since at least August 2022, with that company recently managing to escape the imploding Embracer Group's clutches in a deal reportedly worth $500 million.

According to Embracer Group, the remake likely won’t release within the next year. Embracer also announced the sale of Saber Interactive, with the KOTOR remake now a joint venture.

The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is reportedly still in development at Saber Interactive, but it doesn’t sound like it will be released in the next 12 months.

In a series of announcements, Embracer Group has hinted that gamers shouldn't expect to get their hands on the upcoming Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake this year. BioWare's classic action RPG released back in 2003, but it's still remembered fondly by fans. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was part of what many gamers refer to as the developer's «golden age,» and more than a few players have been eager to see it updated for modern consoles.

Embracer Group has sold off some assets of Saber Interactive, the developer of the long-awaited Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, for $247 million. A couple of years ago, Embracer Group seemed poised to become a major player in the video games space as it acquired multiple key studios like Eidos Montreal, Crystal Dynamics, and Limited Run Games, reaching an incredible 110 game development companies by April 2022 with plans to buy more. One of the companies acquired by Embracer was Saber Interactive in 2020, which became one of the conglomerate’s 12 major divisions thanks to its numerous subsidiaries.

Saber Interactive, one of Embracer Group's largest development houses, will reportedly be sold off in a transaction worth $500 million. The company, which itself comprises more than 20 studios, will be sold to private investors after the deal closes. This will be the latest action from Embracer in its huge restructuring plan. This all comes from a new report from Bloomberg.

Swedish gaming company Embracer Group AB will sell one of its largest subsidiaries, Saber Interactive, to a group of private investors in a deal worth up to $500 million (roughly Rs. 4,142 crore), according to a person familiar with the transaction.

The remake is still in the works at Saber Interactive, according to a new report. The PlayStation 5 console exclusive remake of BioWare's 2003 RPG title was announced as part of the September 2021 PlayStation Showcase under the development of Aspyr Media, the developer behind many ports — including the original on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming — before Aspyr's parent company, Saber Interactive, took over development in 2022.

Disney has spoken about Knights of the Old Republic Remake as the fate of the game remains unclear.

The saga of the Knights of the Old Republic remake is beginning to look increasingly like Star Wars’ own increasingly convoluted expanded universe, as two developers have reportedly now insisted that, yes, they are still working on it - despite recent reports to the contrary.

According to renowned journalist Jason Schreier, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is still being worked on.

It looks like the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake isn't as dead as recent reports have claimed, as it's now being reported that several Aspyr developers are currently working on the project.

The Knights of the Old Republic remake is still being worked on by at least two developers at Saber Interactive, it’s claimed.

It’s more bad news for Knights of the Old Republic fans patiently awaiting the remake of the classic Star Wars game, as reports emerge that the game is no longer in active development.

The planned remake is reportedly no longer in development, according to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb in the latest episode of his Game Mess podcast.

News from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake only gets worse, as it's now reported that the game isn't even being worked on right now.

The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake sparked some serious excitement when it was announced back in 2021. KOTOR is a seriously good RPG and a top-tier Star Wars experience, but at 20 years old it's also very dated. Unfortunately, it has not been smooth sailing since, and at this point there's legitimate doubt that the remake will ever see the light of day. And there was no good news on the status of the game in the most recent Embracer Group financial report—in fact, it was quite the opposite.

"Anything I say to this becomes a headline," said media-weary Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors in response to a question about the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, fielding inquiries during an earnings presentation on Thursday. And, like, I get it. But also, can you blame fans for their eagerness to get an update on the project after so many months of silence and uncertainty?

Aspyr Media announced a remake of in 2021. However, the games have since faced delays and a studio change, with Saber Interactive taking over in 2022. Now, Sony cites expired music licenses to explain the recent delisting of the game’s trailer and removal of social media posts.

Sony has attempted to clarify its recent removal of social media posts related to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake.

The Star Wars KOTOR Remake isn't in a good place. So far, we've only seen a short teaser trailer that doesn't really tell us anything about the game. Then, the project was taken away from its previous developer, Aspyr, reportedly over concerns about the game's slow development. Now, as yet another year passes with no KOTOR Remake updates - aside from the announcement trailer being taken down by Sony - many fear that the game has been shelved entirely.

First announced two years ago, at Sony’s showcase in 2021,Star Wars: The Old Republic’s remake is seemingly being officially scrubbed from around the internet. Could the project be another casualty as part of Embracer Group’s reorganization?

Some new evidence has suggested that the remake could be in real trouble. The Embracer Group and Aspyr Media, the developer behind many ports — including the original on Nintendo Switch — announced the PS5 console exclusive remake as part of the September 2021 PlayStation Showcase. However, it has had a somewhat turbulent development since, with Aspyr's parent company, Saber Interactive, taking over development last year.

Sony has hidden the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake trailer and deleted the game's initial announcements posts online.

Worrying signs on the horizon for fans of sci-fi stories told a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Sony have quietly yanked posts and videos for Embracer's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, in what could be the first indication that the publisher have finally cancelled the game, after shuffling developers and delaying release indefinitely last year.

The Star Wars KOTOR remake, announced back in 2021, might have just been canceled. One of the greatest RPGs, the original Knights of the Old Republic – created by Mass Effect developer-to-be BioWare – is an icon of PC gaming. A full remake, originally helmed by Aspyr, was revealed at a Sony showcase two years ago. But now trailers and pages connected to the game have seemingly been removed from the internet, as the Embracer Group, which owns the studio behind the supposed KOTOR remake, institutes far-reaching cuts and closures.

References to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake have been taken offline by some of PlayStation’s primary social media accounts, amid a report of troubled development.

It's no secret that the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic that was announced back in 2021 has been having a tough time of it. The game has reportedly gone through several development challenges, as well as a change of studios, and Embracer Group CEO Lars Wingefors dodging questions about the game's current state has done little to inspire confidence in fans.
