Star Wars Eclipse “Still Exists” Insists Quantic Dream

Star Wars Eclipse

Quantic Dream is insisting that Star Wars Eclipse still exists despite not hearing much of the game this entire year.

IGN got some answers about what’s going on with development during an interview at the Tokyo Game Show. According to the VP of marketing, Lisa Pendse, the game’s development is “simmering.”

We know a fair about the game in some capacity, David Cage has spoken on the game as recently as last year — also with IGN — about how Eclipse will be like the studio’s other games — no death screens, multiple playable characters, and branching narratives. So, we’re led to believe this is gonna be like Detroit: Become Human or Heavy Rain, just with a Star Wars coat of paint, right? Ehh… it’s also an action-adventure, which throws a curveball.

What do you think? How do you feel about Star Wars Eclipse? Let us know below!

Star Wars Eclipse Is Still Lightyears Away

During The Game Awards, Quantic Dream confirmed a rumor that they were working on an open-world Star Wars game. During the event, the studio announced their next project, Star Wars Eclipse. 

Well-known industry insider and the one who spilled the beans about Eclipse ahead of its release, Tom Henderson, took to Twitter to share potential details associated to Star Wars Eclipse. According to him, Quantic Dream Paris is penning its story while David Cage is still “very much involved.”

For fans who can’t wait to get their hands on the game, though, it seems QD is still working on it and will be for a while. In fact, it’s at least three to four years away. Part of it is probably due to QD’s main studio in Paris struggling to staff positions, which has over 60 open jobs, thanks to several reports of toxic workplace culture.

Staffing woes aside, the QD Engine, which is what will be used to make Eclipse, also wasn’t meant to be made for an open-world title.

Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse Officially Revealed

After much speculation and rumors flying about, Quantic Dream, best-known for the likes of Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, has officially announced during The Game Awards that they’re making a Star Wars game with Lucasfilm Games. Not much is known about Star Wars Eclipse yet.

What we do know is it’s an action-adventure title taking place during the High Republic era. It will be playable in many different ways and offers us a handful of characters to play as, similar to Detroit: Become Human. 

Unfortunately, we don’t know what Star Wars Eclipse will look like gameplay-wise as what we got was a cinematic trailer. Also, no release date or even platforms are confirmed, but it seems likely that it’ll release at least on PS5.
