A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Sony announced Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake, a timed PS5 exclusive modernisation of the classic RPG.
We first heard about this project way back in September 2021, but reported difficulties with development have significantly delayed its production.
Now, rumour has it that it may finally be time for the game to make a reappearance.
This comes from a leaker known as Kurakasis, who says a "big Star Wars game announcement is coming very soon", later clarifying that the game's title ends with "The Old Republic":

Knights of the Old Republic Remake was originally in development at Aspyr, but duties were reportedly handed over to Saber Interactive, delaying the game indefinitely.
The only thing made public about the project is its CG teaser trailer, which isn't even on official channels anymore, apparently due to the music licence expiring.
We've heard very little about the game over the years, but Saber Interactive insists that it's still alive and in development.
It would be great to see this game come back, hopefully with more to show, and The Game Awards would be a great venue for it.
It is possible that this rumour could be related to some other project within the Old Republic universe; some speculate it could be a Total War game, for example.

Let's hope the writers for the remake aren't from Disney.
Would have been worried if Aspyr were still in charge of development 😬 but feel more reassured that Saber are doing it.
Talking about this would be nice a new announcement for the current Jedi games
Obviously we would all love for this to be true, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
That sub-header is beyond brilliant. Bravo, @Quintumply.
I'd take a PS4 port with trophies and be happy. It's odd that Aspyr hasn't...
Would be cautiously excited to see it re-announced as it were. But due to the change of hands, wouldn't be surprised if it's still a few years away.
Edit: also, since this could mean the title is possibly back from the dead, is a good alternate sub-header "Revanant"?
Very much hoping that this game does eventually release (and is good). Playstation seems to be the only place the original can't be played.
@Jammer Depends, that includes the writers of Andor. Disney has managed to release some of the very best and the very worst star wars universe content over the years.
