Star Wars Eclipse, the upcoming Star Wars game from Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls developer Quantic Dream, remains in development but progress is said to be “very slow going.” NetEase, which owns Quantic Dream, could re-evaluate the project if the studio’s upcoming free-to-play multiplayer title does not meet expectations, a report said.
According to Insider Gaming, Quantic Dream has completed a “good portion” of the game, but sources told the site the rest of it is not progressing at the expected rate. A source added that Quantic Dream held discussions with studio owner NetEase about hiring more staff, but this did not happen.
The report added that both Quantic Dream and NetEase are looking to Quantic Dream’s free multiplayer game Spellcasters Chronicles to help bring in money to contribute to ongoing funding for Star Wars Eclipse. Spellcasters Chronicles is a 3v3 online multiplayer game that’s unlike anything the studio has made before, and it entered early access in February this year. The game is free but makes money from microtransactions; revenue figures for the game are unknown, however.
