[RUMOR] According to 100% Star Wars, the Kotor Remake is still scheduled to be re-revealed this year
To start: 100% Star Wars is the person who revealed the issues with the KOTOR remake, the KOTOR 2 port to the Switch problems, and the potential KOTOR 2 remake before any of this was confirmed years later by the vice president of Lucasfilm Games and Stephen Totilo, but he also revealed games like the Battlefront Collection before they were announced. He's definitely a person who has some sources
But let's get to the point. 100% Star Wars first reported in March 2026 and then May 2026 that the reveal is planned for this year, so it seems everything is still on track for us to finally see the re-reveal of the Kotor Remake this year.
I think The Game Awards sounds the most reasonable. I wouldn’t expect anything at Gamescom, because as far as we know, Mad Head Games is in charge of the Kotor Remake (in collaboration with several other Saber Interactive studios), but Mad Head Games is currently in the middle of a marketing campaign for Hellraiser Revival, which is set to launch in October. So the earliest reasonable date for a re-reveal is The Game Awards.
But I think all of this makes sense, given Steve Allison’s recent comments about a potential 2028 release. However, an interesting point in the new 100% Star Wars video is that he said he’d heard the release of the KOTOR remake was also being discussed for mid/late 2027, and after Steve Allison’s slip-up, the CEO of Saber Interactive said not to take those dates (for the John Wick game, the new Space Marine game, and the KOTOR remake) too seriously, because the topic itself concerned microtransactions in Saber’s games, and the dates given were only rough estimates.
So it would be great if a potential announcement of this game this year meant a 2027 release, but it would also make sense if it were early 2028. The marketing campaign for *Hellraiser Revival* will last 15 months, so we can speculate that the *Kotor Remake* will have a similar timeline. With a potential announcement at The Game Awards, that would mean the release would take place in March 2028.
Nevertheless, regardless of my predictions, it’s nice to know that 2027 will most likely be the year when we’ll finally start learning new things about this game on a regular basis, and we’ll finally get to see some gameplay, etc.
