Aspyr made the "Fallen Order for the poor" — the "Sabers" are doing much better with the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

An insider who posts under the nickname 100% Star Wars — a source many follow for SW tidbits — has shared fresh details about the remake of Knights of the Old Republic, now undergoing a second revival at Saber Interactive.

He claims to have seen both builds: the canceled Aspyr version and the one Saber is developing from scratch, and says the new work left a strong impression on him.

Aspyr’s approach, according to this tip, leaned toward an action feel — his phrase was “Fallen Order for the poor” — combined with pause-based mechanics similar to the Final Fantasy VII Remake; e.g., stopping combat to issue commands.

The insider calls the choice to abandon Aspyr’s take and restart development “absolutely correct,” though specific details about Saber’s combat system haven’t been revealed yet.

As for timing, he suggests a re-announcement could happen as early as 2026 if things proceed without hiccups. Officially, Saber Interactive says the game remains in development.
