Cyan’s classic PC adventure game Riven: The Sequel to Myst is getting an Unreal Engine 5 remake later this year. Although Cyan’s last game experienced controversy surrounding the use of AI content, Cyan confirmed to Digital Trends that the Riven remake does not use any “AI-assisted content.”
Star Wars: KOTOR remake developer reportedly sold by Embracer Group

Saber Interactive, the game developer and publisher behind highly anticipated upcoming games like the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, is reportedly being sold by its parent company, Embracer Group.
Bloomberg reports that Saber Interactive will be sold to private investors for “up to $500 million.” Saber Interactive has several subsidiaries, including 3D Realms, 4A Games, Aspyr Media, New World Interactive, Tripwire Interactive, and Zen Studios, but it’s unclear how many of those it will retain ownership of after being sold at this time as Embracer Group and Saber are declining to comment on the deal. Embracer Group originally acquired Saber in February 2020, and it served as one of the company’s primary operating groups.
That subsidiary, Aspyr Media, is where the development of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake began. It was announced in 2021, but following some development struggles, the project moved over to Saber itself in 2022. Bloomberg claims that Saber will continue working on that remake; meanwhile, Aspyr is launching a remastered collection of the first two Star Wars Battlefront games next month. Embracer Group is reportedly also looking to sell Gearbox; to that, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said, “Stay tuned” on X.

KOTOR Remake Still Sounds Like It's Far, Far Away from Releasing on PS5 | Push Square
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.

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic remake release left in limbo by Saber Interactive sale
This week's announcement that Embracer are selling off Saber Interactive to new company Beacon Interactive has cast further doubt over the future of one of Embracer's bigger projects, the much-delayed Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic remake. While Embracer have yet to actually state this out loud, it sounds like the KOTOR remake will be a "joint project" between Saber and Embracer. It also probably won't be out in the next 12 months. Given the project's repeated disruptions and delays, I suspect many of us will settle for the game coming out at all.
