The claims come via frequent industry insider Jeff Grubb during November 17th’s episode ofGiant Bomb’s Game Mess Mornings, who stated he could “100% confirm” that the KOTOR remake had been put on ice after “look[ing] into it”.
Grubb’s report comes shortly after Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors refused to comment on the status of Knights of the Old Republic, which wasannounced to be in developmentunder Embracer’s Aspyr in late 2021 (which also happens to be the last time we heard any official word on the game) before moving to the troubled mega-conglomerate’s Saber Interactive last summer.
“I notice anything I say to this becomes a headline, so that is my only comment,” Wingefors said (viaAxios’ Stephen Totilo).

The latest claims also accompany recent rumours swirling in the wake of pulled tweets, deleted posts and a trailer for Knights of the Old Republicvanishing from the official PlayStation YouTube channel. Sony later claimed that the disappearance was due to music licences expiring - despite the only piece of music being the Star Wars theme, and many other Star Wars videos remaining live on the channel from much longer ago than the KOTOR trailer.
Obviously, any claim or rumour should be taken with the appropriate pinch of salt, but it’s certainly not looking positive for the hopes of aKOTOR remakemaking it out - at least anytime soon.
