Sony loves filing patents for gaming ideas that'll, more than likely, never come to fruition. It's done it again with a recent listing that focuses on the idea of «auto-playing portions of a video game».
PlayStation Wants "Nothing To Do With" The KOTOR Remake
04.04.2024 - 22:47 / thegamer.com / Jeff Grubb / Matthew Karch / Sony
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. With all that uncertainty, fans no longer have confidence that it will even be a good game if it sees the light of day, and PlayStation maker Sony is apparently of the same mind.
This is according to industry insider Jeff Grubb, who has previously stated that he believes the KOTOR remake will never actually come out. Grubb went into his reasoning as to why he believes this earlier today, as he heard that Sony itself has lost all confidence in the project and wants "nothing to do with it anymore".
Cast your mind back to the game's initial announcement (I know, it's been a while) and you'll remember that it was first revealed during a PlayStation Showcase. That's because Sony reportedly managed to snag exclusivity rights, at least for a brief period, so was clearly confident in the title's reputation at the time, though that seems to have waned more and more as the years have gone by to the point where Jeff Grubb is claiming it wants nothing to do with it anymore.
Thankfully, it seems as though Saber Interactive is pretty dedicated to the project now, and Grubb himself says they seem "very determined" to actually get the title on store shelves. Saber doesn't have an amazing track record, with World War Z and the Evil Dead game being the studio's highest profile titles over the past few years, but it does have a well-received remaster of Crysis under its belt.
Saber itself is also pretty confident that the game is fine, as company CEO Matthew Karch recently spoke with IGN to state that the game is "alive and well" following several rumors about a potential cancelation. It's clear that the game is still in the works right now, and that it's not dead quite just yet, so there are a couple of reasons to still be a little optimistic.
