Embracer Group, a renowned video game company, has recently stirred the gaming world with the announcement that the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) remake is still under development.

Despite this, the recent report by Embracer Group suggests that the project is very much alive, even if the company has refrained from making official statements about it.
Interestingly, the CEO of Embracer Group was recently asked about the KOTOR remake but provided no response. The timing is noteworthy as the twenty-year anniversary of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is only two months away. This milestone could provide the perfect occasion for the reveal of the much-anticipated project.
The news of the KOTOR remake’s ongoing development comes from the year-end report published by the Embracer Group. The report, current as of May 24, 2023, details all games that have been released and are in development. The report includes several titles like Tomb Raider (Final Title TBC), Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II, Remnant 2, Ride 5, and of course, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake.
According to the report, the in-development KOTOR remake will be available on PC and PlayStation 5 platforms. The development of this anticipated remake is being led by an internal studio. However, further details are scant in the report.
