👉 FORCE LEAP TO LINK for LEAKS, CEO bombs, & if REVAN RETURNS!
Fresh leaks of early development assets from the scrapped original version of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) Remake have reignited fan speculation, even as current developer Saber Interactive insists the long-troubled project remains active – with eyes turning to The Game Awards 2025 on December 12 for potential news.
Unveiled at PlayStation Showcase on September 27, 2021, the remake promised a full Unreal Engine 4 overhaul of BioWare’s 2003 RPG masterpiece. Players control a customizable Jedi Padawan (Revan) amid a Mandalorian Wars aftermath, navigating moral choices, lightsaber duels, and Force powers on planets like Taris and Kashyyyk. The original sold over 4 million copies, earning 94 Metacritic acclaim for its branching narrative – light or dark side paths reshaping the galaxy – and spawning KOTOR 2 (2005, Obsidian).
Aspyr Media – Star Wars port specialists (Battlefront II Switch) – led initial work. The cinematic trailer wowed, teasing revamped combat and fidelity. But cracks emerged: Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reported July 2022 indefinite hiatus amid scope creep, leadership turmoil, and crunch. Devs clashed over third-person vs. original isometric views; progress stalled at pre-alpha. Sony delisted the trailer September 2023 over music licensing, fueling “canceled” whispers.
Embracer Group (Aspyr parent) shifted duties to Saber Interactive – World War Z, SnowRunner experts – around 2023. Aspyr’s build canned; Saber rebooted for “faithful remake” per insiders. Embracer’s 2023 restructuring (layoffs, $2B write-down post-Tomb Raider/Lord of the Rings deals) hit hard, but Saber split February 2024 for $500M to private equity, retaining KOTOR rights.
Saber affirmations persist. CEO Matthew Karch told IGN April 2024: “Alive and well… we’re dedicated to exceeding expectations.” CCO Tim Willits echoed March 2025: “Everything we’ve talked about is still in development… we’ll share when cool.” Saber juggles 10+ titles (Space Marine 2 success, Jurassic Park: Survival, Avatar AAA), prioritizing via UE5? No gameplay; multiplatform likely post-PS5 timed exclusivity.
October 2025 leaks – via former Aspyr artist’s portfolio – unveiled canned assets: Vibroblades, blasters, props in gritty realism; third-person prototype screenshots hinting melee revamp. Earlier September: Kashyyyk concept art (wroshyr trees, platforms) from 2021 build. Reddit/ResetEra buzzed: “Impressive but why scrap?” X fans memed “vaporware,” petitioning Disney.
November YouTube hype (e.g., “2025 Leak”) recycles leaks, CEO quotes – no fresh footage. GameRant pegs early-stage; 2026-2027 window realistic post-reboot.
Fanbase endures. X/Reddit: TGA dream lists dominate – “KOTOR trailer?” alongside TES6. Petitions hit 100K+; originals thrive via Switch ports. Star Wars gaming booms (Jedi: Survivor 2023, Outlaws 2024), Legends tolerance post-Ahsoka. Disney IP control: Saber defers announcements.
Challenges linger: Resource split, UE migration? Faithful vs. modernized (action like God of War)? Revan gender/alignment preserved; companions (Bastila, HK-47) return. Success could spawn KOTOR 2/3.
TGA history: 2021 reveal. Geoff Keighley teases “world premieres”; Sony/Disney slots open. Playable demo whispers unfounded.
KOTOR’s alchemy – choice-driven epic, Sith lore – primed revival amid Baldur’s Gate 3. Saber: “When ready.” Leaks tease glory; silence tests faith. Force awakens… or fades?
