A lightsaber-wielding Revan from Knights of the Old Republic wields a gleaming blade.

Knights of the Old Republic is one of Bioware’s most beloved RPGs—a game that capitalised on the promise of the Star Wars extended universe in so many inventive ways that it spawned an entire fandom dedicated to that slice of a galaxy far, far away. So when aremake was announcedin—god—2021, we were all pretty excited. Then it was consigned to the inferno of development hell.

In July of 2022 itsurfaced that the remake was possibly delayed. No, wait, it was actuallyshifted to another studio. Then radio silence followed, so much in fact that the CEO of Embracer Group—the giant monolith that had alsoflubbed a $2 billion dealand would laterlay off over a thousand people, kill aDeus Ex sequel, andsell off studiosto keep the lights on—outright refused to talk about it. But don’t worry, it’s totally not dead—Saber Interactive is still working on it, wait, no, Embracer’sselling Saber Interactive off now. I want to get off Lars Wingefors' wild ride.

In aconference callyesterday, Embracer’s CEO Lars Wingefors was asked about said “AAA game based on a major licence”, and whether it was “for the coming 12 months”, he replied: “No, I think that kind of game needs some deep love and respect, so. Without giving full colour, I think it’s some time left until that game is released.”

So there you have it. We’re still at least a year out from what should have been a relatively straightforward shot. I wouldn’tpersonallyhold out hope for a 2025 release either, just considering how things have panned out so far, but hey. Miracles do happen, maybe we just need to trust in the force.
