This game was one heck of reveal back in 2021, but sadly we haven’t heard anything new ever since. And it’s a bummer, really, since the trailer at least gave the impression that it’s going to be another amazing adventure in the world of Star Wars.
Gamers speculated that Star Wars might’ve been cancelled. Lay-offs at NetEase, Quantic Dream’s new owner since 2022, only added fuel to the fire. QD’s CEO, Guillaume de Fondaumière, says this is not the case and NetEase’s problems don’t have any impact on Eclipse’s production process. Well, that’s a relief.
So, what’s this game supposed to be? Very little has been revealed, but Star Wars Eclipse has been described as an action-adventure game with multiple playable characters, coupled with branching narratives, possibly similar to the studio’s previous work. Story-wise, it’s set 200 years before The Phantom Menace, in the age of the High Republic.
There are insiders who say this game will come out in 2027 the earliest. Only time will tell what’s going to happen next.
