The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake was announced a while back, but the game has yet to release, let alone be properly revealed. Since its announcement, it has gone through some rather tumultuous development, shifting from Aspyr Media to Saber Interactive, and the long silence on it was only broken earlier this year by Saber CCO Tim Willits, who confirmed that development is continuing. According to reliable insider 100% Star Wars, the plan is still to reveal the game before the end of 2026, as development is proceeding very smoothly.
"Development on the game has not only been ramping up, but it's going extremely smoothly over the past 3 years since Saber started from scratch," the insider said in a fresh video, commenting on the possibility of the game indeed launching in 2028.
"They have been hiring some extremely high-end talent from across the industry, and Saber is very much a unified front when it comes to the development of this game with resources and talent being pulled from all over the company." Unfortunately, development of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake going so well is not a guarantee for a 2028 release, given everything that is going on with the industry, the insider added.
Still, a proper reveal for the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake shouldn't be too far off in the future. 100% Star Wars is aware of a reveal being planned for this year, but the insider believes the chance it could slip to 2027 and take advantage of Star Wars Celebration, which takes place from April 1 to April 4. This, however, is a guess, as a reveal is still planned for 2026, with The Game Awards show in December possibly being the biggest stage for this highly anticipated reveal.
As, even with the inevitable changes the remake will bring, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic story is a known quantity, it will be very interesting to see how the game will play.
According to 100% Star Wars, the combat mechanics could be likened to a poor man's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order with Final Fantasy VII Remake series pause mechanics, which is more than enough to get excited about the game, as the series' combat system is, in my opinion, among the best RPG combat systems of all time, masterfully combining action and turn-based gameplay in a way that indeed feels like a modernization of the classic real-time with pause mechanics used by the original game developed by BioWare.
