KOTOR remake 'still in development,' Saber boss confirms

The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is still in development, Tim Willits, chief creative officer of publisher Saber Interactive, confirmed in a new interview. This is the first official news about the reimagining since it was unveiled nearly five years ago.

'Yes, it is still in development,' Wilits told IGN. He did not address the long-percolating rumors — and courtroom testimony — about the remake's troubled development.

Reilly also revealed that a KOTOR 2 remake remains in the planning stages and will feature "modern art" and "modern gameplay." The plan was to "keep the story and the characters and [...] the general content of KOTOR II, but remake it for modern hardware and modern machines with updated graphics and all those kind of things."

Presumably, the KOTOR 1 remake — whenever it finally releases — will feature similar upgrades to BioWare's beloved RPG.
