Embracer Group board member Matthew Karch in the company's Q1 2022 report livestream from earlier today announced Saber Interactive has stepped up to co-develop Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake alongside Aspyr.
"Aspyr has gone full in to make this the best game that they can make," said Karch via VideoGamesChronicle. "When we acquired Aspyr, we knew from the start that they would require our assistance. Saber has tremendous expertise in creating these types of products. We’ve done it on Halo – on multiple Halo products – so we’ve been spending a lot of time working with them to bring this title over."
Karch added, "We’re fully confident that the game is going to be fantastic, but it’s a massive product and massive products require a lot of effort and a lot of time to make good, and especially when you’re talking about game that’s very old, we’ve basically had to remake that game from scratch."
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake was announced in September 2021 as a console timed exclusive on the PlayStation 5.

"Especially when you're talking about (a) game that's very old, we've basically had to remake that game from scratch" - Well... That's kinda the point.
Yeah, isn't that what makes it a Remake and not a Remaster?
That was truly a captain obvious moment.
I was wondering if Aspyr was going to be able to take on such a massive project like this on their own when they've just done ports of old games throughout the entire studios history.
Embracer is so weirdly set up though. Saber is actually Aspyr's parent company, so did Embracer tell Saber to help their own studio or something? lol ugh, but who knows when this game will be releasing :(
To many buys can make things become strange.
Halo combat evolved Anniversary was not a good remake despite letting you play with the original graphics at any time (and really that only served to highlight its shortcomings). Referencing it isn't a glowing endorsement.
Even the original graphics were all messed up in CE Anniversary lol. 343 just last year finally was able to bring the game back to closer resembling the original Xbox version on MCC. Looks really great and I prefer to play CEA with original graphics rather than the Anniversary graphics.
