The project was first unveiled to the public in September 2021, but since then, only vague rumors have circulated about its fate. Now, it seems that instead of the long-awaited release, fans may be in for disappointing news. At least, that's the information shared by Alex Smith — former head of Bend Studio and one of the creators of the legendary Syphon Filter series.

On his X account, Smith claimed that work on SW: KotOR Remake has been completely halted (despite Saber Interactive stating in 2024 that development was ongoing). According to him, some employees working on the project were reassigned to other tasks, while others were outright laid off. If this information proves true, it will be a final blow to fans who dreamed of seeing a remake of the iconic RPG.

It's worth noting that Smith has previously shared reliable insider information. For example, he was the one who hinted at an upcoming announcement of a new game from Housemarque, which later turned out to be true. However, his predictions regarding the release dates of Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei were inaccurate, so his statements should be taken with a grain of skepticism.

Official representatives from Saber Interactive and Aspyr have yet to comment on this information, leaving fans in the dark about the future of the project.
