The remake of Star Wars: KOTOR was canceled and some of its creators were fired

Many fans of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic have long been waiting for at least some news about the remake of the cult role-playing game. The project was announced back in September 2021, but since then there have been only rumors about its fate. Now, it seems that players are waiting not for the long-awaited release, but for unpleasant news. At least that's what Alex Smith, former head of Bend Studio and one of the authors of Siphon Filter, says.

On his X (Twitter) page, Smith stated that development of KOTOR Remake has been canceled and some Saber Interactive employees working on the project have either been reassigned or fired. If this information is confirmed, it will be the final blow to fans' hopes of seeing a remake of the cult RPG.

Although last time the creators reported that development of the remake continues:

It is worth noting that Smith has already shared truthful insights. It was he who announced in advance the announcement of a new game from Housemarque, which actually took place. However, his predictions regarding the release dates of Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei did not come true then, so his statements should be treated with caution.

Official representatives of Saber Interactive and Aspyr have not yet commented on the information about the cancellation of Star Wars: KOTOR Remake.
