From what ive heard on youtube Channels...   KOTOR remake is currently dead in the water and unlikely to come out.   

A year ago Aspyr Showd off the Game to Disney/Lucus and Sony...    Disney liked it... Sony didnt cause it "Wasnt Cinematic Enough"  And shortly after Aspyr was removed from the project its main 2 Leads fired.  And the game given to Saber  (who is already busy making space marine 2)    

But Sony was funding it... And if they pulled out its likely Dead.    Xbox turned down KOTOR previous (also rumor) as they would want to develop it in house (likely Obsidian) not using a 3rd party studio..


Now for the Showcase...  It did show off some good games..  But from a 1st person Sony perspective... It was a bad showcase.   with games as a service and Spiderman being the only things they had to show.  (No 1st party VR Announcements) 

Im hyped for Alan Wake 2.

I knew about the whole Aspyr debacle.  We've even discussed it here previously.  The Publisher recently had an investor call and one of the investors asked about KOTOR specifically with the CEO replying with "No further comment".

Also the publisher just tried to sell, with a 2 billion dollar deal falling apart, so KOTOR is the least of their worries.
