PlayStation Wants "Nothing To Do With" The KOTOR Remake

You'd struggle to find a game right now more up in the air than the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that was first announced back in 2021, a project that has swapped developers multiple times since then and very few official updates on whether it will actually release at all.

Thankfully, it seems as though Saber Interactive is pretty dedicated to the project now, and Grubb himself says they seem "very determined" to actually get the title on store shelves. Saber doesn't have an amazing track record, with World War Z and the Evil Dead game being the studio's highest profile titles over the past few years, but it does have a well-received remaster of Crysis under its belt.

Saber itself is also pretty confident that the game is fine, as company CEO Matthew Karch recently spoke with IGN to state that the game is "alive and well" following several rumors about a potential cancelation. It's clear that the game is still in the works right now, and that it's not dead quite just yet, so there
