A senior Sabre Interactive executive has offered fresh reassurance that the long-delayed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake remains in development, with a possible 2028 release window. Steve Allison, newly promoted to chief business officer, made the comments in an online Q&A that was screenshotted and shared before being deleted, though Sabre Interactive later confirmed the message was genuine. It matters because the KOTOR Remake has become a byword for troubled game development, and any concrete detail is notable given how sparse official updates have been.

Allison named the remake alongside Space Marine, a John Wick game and unannounced titles as part of a busy 2028 slate for Sabre, while also denying his appointment was about squeezing extra revenue from the studio's games and stating Sabre does not pursue microtransactions. The remake's troubled history includes Embracer Group handing development from original studio Aspyr to Sabre Interactive in August 2022 after Aspyr layoffs, the game's mysterious removal from digital storefronts (attributed to music licensing issues), and Embracer's then-boss Lars Wingefors declining to comment on its status in 2023. Since then, updates have largely consisted of brief assurances that the project is still alive, making Allison's comparatively detailed remarks a modest but notable development for fans.
