Saber Interactive is a co-developer on the Hitman Classic Trilogy Remastered, set for 2027, and is also the publisher of Rideshare Stimulator, which is in the middle of a public dispute over AI use in its writing. The studio's other recent work includes the Space Marine 2 update, which was released by Focus Entertainment.
Saber Interactive's recent output spans a remaster, a live-service update, and a controversy over AI in game writing. In June 2026, the studio announced Hitman Classic Trilogy Remastered with IO Interactive, a collection of the first three Hitman games scheduled for 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The remaster updates character models, textures, and lighting while keeping the original gameplay and tone, and adds Japanese text support for the first time on Steam. Saber's history with remasters, including Tomb Raider I-III Remastered and Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered, is noted in the announcement.
In August 2026, Focus Entertainment released The Confrontation update for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which Saber developed. The free update added two PvP maps, a weekly reward system, new enemies, and six Heroic weapons, completing Season Pass 2 and setting up Season Pass 3 for September. The game has passed 12 million players.
The most recent story involves Rideshare Stimulator, a game Saber publishes. Former lead writer Stella Sacco said she was replaced by ChatGPT, a claim Saber denies. The publisher says the game's stories were written by humans but admits AI tools were used for dialogue in Free Ride mode. In response to the dispute, Saber added an AI-generated content disclosure to the Steam store page, directly addressing the Valve policy concern raised by media. The conflict between the publisher and the former writer remains unresolved.
