The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is still alive and well, its publisher insists, as it accepts a big wallop of money.

Saber Interactive recently split off from its flailing corporate owners at Embracer Group in a deal worth almost $250 million. The publisher is now employing around 3,000 people without the backing of a giant conglomerate, which prompted them to accept investment from private equity firms Aleph Capital Partners and Crestview Partners.

In the investment's press release, Saber Interactive slightly toots its own horn as "one of the world's leading independent game developers for all major platforms based on original and licensed IPs, including successful titles such as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, World War Z, SnowRunner, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, and Insurgency: Sandstorm."

It was also quick to name drop the projects it still has in the pipeline, though, including games based on A Quiet Place, Jurassic Park, and the one that we've all been waiting for, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. 

While we wait, check out all the video game release dates coming up.
