"Star Wars: KOTOR Remake Canceled: Rumor"

The much-anticipated project was first introduced to eager fans back in September 2021. Since then, the air has been thick with speculation and whispers about its progress. However, recent developments suggest that instead of the eagerly awaited release, fans might be bracing for disheartening news. This update comes courtesy of Alex Smith, the former head of Bend Studio and a key figure behind the iconic Syphon Filter series.

In a recent post on his X account, Smith declared that work on the SW: KotOR Remake has been completely halted. This statement stands in stark contrast to Saber Interactive's 2024 announcement that the development was still in motion. According to Smith, the project's team faced significant changes, with some members being reassigned to different tasks, while others faced layoffs. Should these claims hold true, it would deliver a crushing blow to the community yearning for a revamped version of the legendary RPG.

It's important to consider Smith's track record when evaluating his latest claims. He has previously provided accurate insider information, such as hinting at Housemarque's new game announcement, which indeed materialized. Yet, not all his predictions have hit the mark; his forecasts on the release dates for Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei were off the mark, suggesting a need for cautious optimism when digesting his insights.

As of now, official representatives from both Saber Interactive and Aspyr have remained silent on the matter, leaving fans in a state of uncertainty regarding the fate of the SW: KotOR Remake.
