Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake may still be alive, and a 2028 release window is now being hinted at by Saber Interactive leadership.
Saber Interactive’s newly appointed chief business officer, Steve Allison, recently suggested that the long-awaited Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake could be part of the company’s planned lineup for 2028. His comments surfaced after he responded to questions online following his promotion, giving fans a rare glimpse into Saber’s future release plans.
Although the original post was later removed, a portion of Allison’s message was shared by users in an online gaming community. Saber Interactive later confirmed that the comments did come from Allison, but also clarified that they should not be treated as an official announcement or confirmed release schedule.
While discussing Saber’s busy development pipeline, Allison mentioned several projects that could be involved in the company’s 2028 plans. His list included Space Marine, John Wick, “hopefully KOTOR Remake,” and a number of unannounced games.
The word “hopefully” is important. It suggests that Saber may be aiming to have Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake ready around 2028, but the studio is not yet in a position to promise that date. Even so, the comment is likely to encourage fans who have been worried about the future of the remake.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake was first announced in 2021 and immediately became one of the most anticipated Star Wars games in development. The original Knights of the Old Republic remains one of the most beloved role-playing games ever made, praised for its story, characters, player choices, and deep connection to Star Wars lore.
However, the remake has had a difficult road. Since its announcement, reports of development troubles and long periods of silence have left many players uncertain about whether the project would ever be released. Official updates have been rare, with most public comments simply confirming that work on the game has not been abandoned.
Allison’s latest remarks do not confirm a release date, but they do offer another sign that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake is still in development at Saber Interactive. For fans waiting to return to the Old Republic era, even a cautious mention of the game is welcome news.
Allison also commented on Saber Interactive’s approach to monetization. He said that while the company may release paid downloadable content for some games, Saber has not traditionally pursued microtransactions, saying that it is not how the studio handles its products.
For now, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake remains without an official launch date. Still, the possibility of a 2028 release gives fans a new timeframe to watch as Saber Interactive continues building one of the most highly anticipated Star Wars gaming projects in years.
