The anticipated Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) remake's future remains uncertain, but Disney has recently expressed confidence in the project's consumer demand. The game, which was announced in 2021 and is undergoing a significant redesign from the ground up, aims to deliver a classic RPG experience to modern platforms like PC and PS5. Despite the apparent indefinite pause in development and staffing changes, such as departures of the art and design directors, Disney's Sean Shoptaw has conveyed there's a strong desire for the game. The original KOTOR, revered as one of the best Star Wars and western RPGs, was developed by BioWare, and the remake is expected to feature the return of voice actor Jennifer Hale as Bastila Shan. Embracer Group, which owns the studio currently working on the project, Saber Interactive, has experienced restructuring and layoffs, and has been tight-lipped about the remake's progress and future. Speculation suggests the remake's release may be delayed beyond the initially targeted dates.

Is the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake still happening?

Despite some development challenges and lack of updates, Disney has indicated there is still demand for the KOTOR remake, but its release remains uncertain with no specific date confirmed.
