Former Epic Games Store brag Steve Allison lone joined Saber Interactive arsenic its caller Chief Business Officer this week, but he’s already caught gamers’ attraction by commenting connected Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3, the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake, and the company’s John Wick game.

Over connected the Space Marine subreddit, Redditor its_treebeard posted a effect from Allison — which Saber confirmed to IGN is morganatic — to a question astir monetizing Space Marine 2 and aboriginal installments, including the in-development Space Marine 3. It's just to accidental Allison's assignment astatine Saber had spooked immoderate Space Marine fans who feared Allison would unit much assertive monetization of the game.

That’s large for Space Marine 2 fans who proceed to play the hugely fashionable enactment game, and for those who are funny successful Space Marine 3. But determination was much to Allison’s effect that caught our attention.

First off, here’s Allison’s remark successful full:

My occupation isn’t to compression wealth from sabers products done tactics similar that. We are preparing to bash much aforesaid publishing and I’m present to signifier the radical successful mentation of the lineup forming for 2028 (like erstwhile I came to telltale successful 2010, besides nary mtx company) that includes abstraction marine, wick, hopefully kotor remake and a fewer unannounced titles. As a institution saber has ne'er pursued mtx it’s not however we bash our products. We merchantability the main crippled with a escaped dlc program for the assemblage and whitethorn bash paid dlc (but can’t repetition the dependable battalion dlc contented connected sm2, the squad learned a batch connected that and earlier I started here). I didn’t enactment connected Fortnite oregon Rocket League, but I did money and oversee the motorboat of Alan Wale Remaster and Alan Wake 2 done the accepted 3rd portion publishing squad what was portion of my radical (also nary mtx). There’s not a batch much for maine to accidental than to guarantee you that’s not Sabers approach, oregon however I’m personally oriented starring publishing etc..Space Marine 3 is going to beryllium each the things you emotion astir 2 positive much that leans into the things you telephone retired that you emotion astir it

And here’s the enactment I privation to zero successful on:

We are preparing to bash much aforesaid publishing and I’m present to signifier the radical successful mentation of the lineup forming for 2028 (like erstwhile I came to telltale successful 2010, besides nary mtx company) that includes abstraction marine, wick, hopefully kotor remake and a fewer unannounced titles.

Here, Allison is saying Saber’s 2028 slate of releases includes Space Marine 3, its John Wick game, “hopefully” the KOTOR remake, and much unannounced games. That’s an breathtaking 2028 for sure!

I asked Saber astir Allison’s remark and it, arsenic you’d expect, downplayed its significance. “Steve was responding to a subordinate chiefly asking astir plans for microtransactions successful aboriginal titles, and helium was speaking broadly, not officially, astir the aboriginal slate of Saber games, which he's incredibly excited about,” a Saber spokesperson said.

“We person not announced immoderate merchandise dates oregon confirmed motorboat windows for Saber's upcoming titles. Please enactment tuned for much accusation connected each of our games, similar Turok: Origins and Hellraiser: Revival, launching October 8!”

So, thing authoritative yet, but it’s the first… thing KOTOR remake related successful years, truthful you tin recognize the scrutiny Allison’s remark has received.

In March, Saber’s Chief Creative Officer, Tim Willits, gave america a abbreviated and elemental reply erstwhile we asked astir the KOTOR remake: “Yes, it is inactive successful development. That's each I tin say.”

The modern reimagining of BioWare’s sci-fi RPG masterpiece was archetypal revealed mode backmost successful 2021, but thing has been officially seen oregon heard of it successful the 5 years since. A study successful December 2025 from Game File revealed that Aspyr was nary longer starring improvement connected the remake, but that the reins had reportedly been handed implicit to Mad Head Games, the squad down the upcoming Hellraiser: Revival.

That aforesaid nonfiction besides claimed that plans were not lone successful question for the KOTOR remake, but a remake of its sequel, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, had besides been discussed.

As for Space Marine 3, Saber has remained likewise quiescent connected details, though fans expect a continuation of Titus’ journey, caller from his promotion to Captain of the Ultramarines Second Company and Master of the Watch.
