Exciting news for Star Wars fans! Development images for the long-awaited Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake have surfaced online, thanks to an artist who previously worked for the developer, Aspyr. These images provide a peek into what the game might have looked like—had it not been canceled—under Aspyr’s direction.

The original KOTOR made waves when it launched in 2003, bringing a unique storytelling experience to RPGs. Fans were hyped when a remake was announced in 2021, but excitement took a nosedive when Aspyr had to let go of key staff, including the art and design directors, in 2022.

Afterward, the project was handed over to Saber Interactive, but updates about the game have been scarce. Recently leaked images have reignited the flame of anticipation, showcasing various game assets like weapons, interfaces, and props that would have enriched the game world.

These images reveal a modular weapon system that would allow players to customize their gear by swapping out components. The visual quality of the Vibroblades and other assets suggests that the remake would have embraced photorealism, making it a feast for the eyes.

Even with all this buzz, Saber Interactive has been tight-lipped about the current state of the remake. It’s uncertain whether any of the assets you see in these leaks will make their way into the final product. However, since the Saber version is in development, there’s hope that it could exceed even the early designs.

Keep your lightsabers ready and don’t lose hope—this remake might still surprise us!
