With Quantic Dream founder David Cage heralding a “new chapter” for the studio and announcing work on a competitive multiplayer experience, one has to ask: What about Star Wars Eclipse? Announced in December 2021, it has received very few updates and several rumors regarding development troubles and internal delays.
Unfortunately, Cage only provided a single line on its status. “Of course, development of Star Wars: Eclipse continues, and we are eager to share more with you in the future.” When and where remains to be seen, as usual.
The last official update from the studio was at Tokyo Game Show 2023, when Lisa Pende, Quantic Dream’s VP of marketing, said, “Can I say it still exists? Because it exists. It’s just not ready. It’s simmering.” Lead writer Adam Williams would depart the studio in 2024, and character concept art leaked earlier this year, showcasing a Rodian, Gungan, and Zenezian.
Platforms for Star Wars Eclipse have yet to be announced, so stay tuned for more updates. All we know is that it’s an action-adventure game set in the High Republic Era as players venture to the dangerous Outer Rim. Multiple characters are playable, and there’s even a branching narrative alongside a new species.
It’s exciting to hear about the continued development of Star Wars Eclipse! Quantic Dream has a unique storytelling approach, and it will be interesting to see how they bring this iconic universe to life. Looking forward to more updates!
It’s indeed thrilling! Quantic Dream’s storytelling approach could really enhance the Star Wars universe, especially with their focus on character-driven narratives. I’m curious to see how they’ll blend their signature style with the rich lore of Star Wars.
Absolutely! Quantic Dream’s emphasis on choice-driven narratives could lead to some really unique character arcs in the Star Wars universe. I’m curious to see how they blend their signature style with the rich lore of Star Wars.
