Leaked KOTOR Remake Footage Hints at a Voiced Protagonist Amid Uncertain Development

Online footage allegedly from an early KOTOR remake cutscene shows a voiced protagonist and placeholder robo-characters, with the clip traced to a former Aspyr animator. The project has cycled through studios—Aspyr paused in 2022 and cut key staff, Saber Interactive took over with leadership updates, and by late 2025 Mad Head Games was reportedly guiding development—leaving a definitive release date unclear. The authenticity of the clip isn’t confirmed, but it underscores ongoing questions about the remake’s status and potential hidden easter eggs.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Patch Draws Fire Over Bugs and Shoddy Art

Fans are blasting the latest Tomb Raider I-III Remastered patch for its rushed art and a string of bugs, from non-lethal laser traps and enemies freezing in place to a looping menu track; they also complain that 60fps, water animation, and updated animations from later remasters remain absent, with lead artist Giovanni Lucca confirming he had no involvement in the patch's art direction and demanding a follow-up update from Aspyr (and Saber) to fix the issues.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Remastered - A Mixed Return

The remastered versions of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 offer improved character models and cutscenes but fall short in environmental texture upgrades and video options. While the remaster maintains the original gameplay mechanics, it lacks customization features like resolution and framerate adjustments, which may disappoint some players. Despite these shortcomings, the remaster is a worthwhile purchase for newcomers to the series, though fans of the original might find the updates insufficient for the price.

"Star Wars: KOTOR Remake Still Thriving, Says Saber Interactive CEO"

Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch confirms that the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still in development and "alive and well," despite limited updates. The project, which has been in the works for several years, is now being co-developed by Saber Interactive after parting ways with Embracer Group. The game is said to be "massive" and is being remade from scratch due to its age, with no confirmed release date yet. In the meantime, Star Wars fans can look forward to Ubisoft's open-world game, Star Wars Outlaws, and the debut of Star Wars: The Acolyte on Disney+ in June.
