Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake has appeared again through a new Saber Interactive leadership comment, but fans should be careful with what it means. Steve Allison, Saber’s new chief business officer, reportedly mentioned the long-awaited RPG while talking about projects the company hopes to have ready around 2028.
The message gives fans another small sign that the remake is still alive, which is important after years of silence, reports, and uncertainty. It does not give players a trailer, gameplay, a locked release date, or a clear platform update, so this is still a cautious update rather than a full comeback.
Allison reportedly brought up Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake while discussing Saber’s wider future plans. The remake was mentioned as part of a group of games the company hopes to have ready around 2028, which quickly caught attention because the project has been quiet for so long.
Saber later made clear that the comment should not be treated as an official release target. The message may be real, but it was not shared as a formal announcement, a marketing beat, or a promise that the remake will arrive in 2028.
Because of this, the update may feel confusing and disappointing for many fans. It is better than silence, because it suggests the remake has not disappeared, but it still does not give players the kind of proof they have been waiting for.
The remake was announced in 2021 with huge excitement because the original Knights of the Old Republic is still one of the most loved Star Wars games ever made. Its party members, choices, Sith story, and Light Side or Dark Side path helped it become a classic RPG.
Since that reveal, there has been a lot of uncertainty about the project's future. Development reportedly shifted away from Aspyr, Saber became the studio most closely tied to the remake, and years passed without proper gameplay, new screenshots, or a clear release plan.
That history makes every small comment feel bigger than it normally would. Fans want to believe the remake is moving forward, but they also know that “hopefully” and “still planned” are not the same as seeing the game running.
A remake of Knights of the Old Republic carries more pressure than a normal licensed project. Players are not only asking for better graphics, because the original is remembered for its writing, choices, companions, moral decisions, and one of gaming’s most famous story twists.
Saber will eventually need to explain how much of that older design is staying. Fans will want to know how combat works, whether the story is being changed, how planets are handled, and whether the remake still feels like KOTOR instead of a safer modern action game.
For now, Allison’s comment gives fans a reason to keep watching without treating 2028 as a promise. The remake still needs a real trailer, clear details, and a direct update from Saber before cautious hope can turn into confidence.
