Since its 2021 announcement, the Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic remake has seen little public progress.
There were even whispers that the KOTOR reboot was abandoned. Yet, with Saber Interactive parting ways with Embracer Group, they’ve now gained new investments to keep working on KOTOR and other projects. A press release revealed that Aleph Capital Partners and Crestview Partners injected significant funds into the company. Though the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, it will help Saber Interactive clear its debt to Embracer Group after their buyout, leaving them with 13 studios worldwide.
Saber Interactive’s upcoming lineup, including Jurassic Park: Survival, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, RoadCraft, and Tempest Rising, also features the highly anticipated KOTOR remake. Unfortunately, a release date for the KOTOR remake remains elusive.
Aspyr Media, known for bringing classic Star Wars games to newer consoles, was initially tasked with the KOTOR remake. But internal problems caused the project to halt indefinitely. Saber Interactive took over in 2022, and with newfound stability, fans hope development will now proceed more smoothly.
Sometimes, we wonder if these remakes will ever see the light of day.
Despite the challenges, Saber Interactive’s future looks promising with their latest financial boost.
