Saber Interactive’s Chief Business Officer Steve Allison recently indicated that major titles including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3, a John Wick prequel, and the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake could arrive by 2028. While Saber Interactive later clarified to IGN that these comments were not an official release schedule, the timeline aligns with typical multi-year development cycles for AAA software.
Understanding Saber Interactive’s Development Timeline
The speculation regarding a 2028 window for key titles stems from a Reddit exchange where Allison discussed the company’s internal slate. Saber Interactive subsequently told IGN that the CBO’s remarks were made in response to questions about microtransactions and did not constitute a formal announcement of release dates or windows.
Space Marine 2, for example, required four years of development. Following the March 2025 announcement that a sequel was in the works, a four-year cycle would place a potential release of Space Marine 3 firmly in the 2028 range. Development for the KOTOR Remake remains ongoing, with Saber working alongside Mad Head Games to bring the title to modern hardware.
The Current Saber Interactive Portfolio
Beyond the high-profile titles mentioned by Allison, Saber Interactive maintains a robust pipeline of upcoming projects. The studio is currently focused on the release of Turok: Origins, slated for later this year, and the survival-horror title Jurassic Park: Survival.
The John Wick project, a prequel developed in collaboration with Lionsgate, was revealed earlier this year. While gameplay details remain scarce, the studio has confirmed the title is intended for PlayStation 5.
