Comments made by Disney's head of gaming, Sean Shoptaw, suggest that the long-awaited Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is still on the way.

In an interview with Axios, Shoptaw was hesitant to delve too deeply into the topic of the illusive remake, though he did at least give us renewed hope that it might actually happen.

"Not a lot I can say on that point for some hopefully obvious reasons," Shoptaw teases, "but KOTOR is obviously an incredibly popular game, one that we are incredibly proud of and think that there's still a lot of demand for. I'll leave it there."
