Saber Exec Suggests 2028 Release Window for KOTOR Remake

A long-awaited remake of the classic role-playing game "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" (KOTOR) may be tentatively scheduled for release in 2028, according to a recent online statement attributed to a Saber Interactive executive. The comment, which has circulated on social media, offers the first potential release window for the project after years of silence and development turmoil.

The statement is attributed to Steve Allison, the recently appointed Chief Business Officer at Saber Interactive. In a purported reply on LinkedIn to a fan concerned about microtransactions, Allison outlined his role in organizing the company's publishing lineup for 2028. He listed several titles, including "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3," a game based on the "John Wick" franchise, and, "hopefully," the KOTOR remake, along with some unannounced projects.

Allison's comment also directly addressed fan concerns about monetization, stating his job is not to "squeeze money from Saber's products" through such tactics. He emphasized that Saber Interactive has never pursued microtransactions as a core part of its business model.

The KOTOR remake was first announced to significant fanfare in 2021....
