Saber Interactive CEO Tim Willits recently confirmed in an interview with IGN that the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is still in development. Willits has consistently reaffirmed the project’s existence, including statements made in 2025 and 2026. Announced in 2021, the remake aims to rebuild the classic Star Wars game from the ground up using modern technology for PlayStation 5 and PC. Initial reports suggested the game would feature two distinct combat styles to appeal to both longtime fans and new players. However, the project faced development challenges, leading to an indefinite delay and the replacement of the original developer, Aspyr. Despite rumors in late 2023 that the remake had been canceled, development continues. While concrete details on how the original’s real-time-with-pause combat system will be updated remain scarce, reports once suggested the inclusion of multiple combat modes. By late 2025, sources told Game File that Mad Head Games might take over the remake’s development.
Star Wars: Old Republic Revival – Remake and Fate in Development Progress
Meanwhile, Lucasfilm Games Vice President Douglas Reilly mentioned “Project Juliet,” a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II under consideration, featuring updated art and gameplay that preserves the original story and characters. A release of the remake is unlikely until the first remake nears completion. At the 2025 Game Awards, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a new single-player RPG led by former KOTOR director Casey Hudson, was announced. Despite being revealed in 2020, the game has since switched studios and various unofficial sources have falsely reported its cancellation over the past five years. While Saber Interactive’s Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits is still overseeing the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, fans may need to remain patient for further updates.

| Official Name | Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic |
| Brief Summary | It is four thousand years before the Galactic Empire and hundreds of Jedi Knights have fallen in battle against the ruthless Sith. You are the last hope of the Jedi Order. Can you master the awesome power of the Force on your quest to save the Republic? Or will you fall to the lure of the dark side? Hero or villain, savior or conqueror... you alone will determine the destiny of the entire galaxy!
Former Jedi Darth Malak, a Dark Lord of the Sith and Darth Revan's former apprentice, has unleashed a Sith armada against the Republic. Malak's aggression has left the Jedi scattered and vulnerable; many Jedi Knights have fallen in battle and others have sworn allegiance to Malak. The game opens with the player's character - the player can choose a face and be male or female (canonically a male) - awakening aboard the Republic ship, Endar Spire, which is under attack by Malak's forces. The player's character gradually gathers companions and pieces together their past while attempting to stop Malak. The game is a part of the Star Wars Legends Universe. Choose Your Path! Set 4,000 years before the Galactic Empire, you are the last hope for the Jedi Order and the Republic - can you master the ways of the Force to become their savior? Or will you fall to the dark side and achieve ultimate power? Hero, villain, peacekeeper, or chaos-bringer... you and your party will determine the fate of the galaxy! Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a role-playing video game. Players will be able to create their own characters and be able to choose what gender, appearance, class, skills, attributes, and feats they have throughout the game - no two characters will be the same! |
