The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) remake is currently planned for reveal later this year, it is claimed.
In a recent video, content creator 100% Star Wars mentioned have sources at Saber Interactive, who have indicated that development on the Star Wars: KOTOR remake is progressing well and that a reveal is currently planned before the end of the year. However, he also cautioned that those plans may end up getting pushed into early 2027 if the studio decides the timing is more appropriate. “Even though I am aware of a reveal being planned for this year, with Star Wars Celebration being so early into the year in 2027, there is a world in which I can see them delaying the reveal this year and pushing it back into early next year instead,” said the YouTuber.
According to the content creator’s sources, the “best-case scenario” had originally been a mid to late 2027 launch to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Star Wars. However, the release window shifted toward 2028 to align with the 25th anniversary of the original Knights of the Old Republic. Despite the internal delay, he claimed that development has progressed smoothly and that the project remains focused on delivering a polished experience.
Recently, an alleged LinkedIn post attributed to Saber Interactive Chief Business Officer Steve Allison was shared online. According to the post, the Star Wars: KOTOR remake will “hopefully” see the light of day in 2028. The YouTuber speculated that the word “hopefully” in the message may have been misinterpreted, as he believes it could instead refer to Saber Interactive’s hope of self-publishing the remake, especially given that Sony Interactive Entertainment is no longer believed to be involved after originally publishing Aspyr’s version of the project. He noted that this aligns with what he has been told about the game’s positive development since Saber Interactive took over in 2023.
