Quantic Dream has provided an update on the development of Star Wars: Eclipse and confirmed that it is also now working on a multiplayer game.
In a new blog post published today, Quantic Dream founder and president David Cage revealed that the developer, which has focused exclusively on creating single-player story games for 28 years, is branching out to make its own “competitive multiplayer” title.
“After years as a single-project studio, we also decided to take a new step. Multiple teams are fully dedicated to creating the next generation of great games, including something very different, a competitive multiplayer experience, born from the same spirit of curiosity and creativity that has always defined us,” said Cage.
“This new title may surprise our fans as it is very different from what we have done before. But taking risks, challenging ourselves, exploring new ways of playing and telling stories and attempting the seemingly impossible has always been part of our DNA.”
The Detroit: Become Human and Heavy rain studio announced that it was working on its own Star Wars narrative games in December 2021.
Updates to the game have been quiet for some time. In August 2024, Eclipse lost its lead writer, Adam Williams, leading some to believe the game was in limbo amid reports that the studio was struggling to hire staff following allegations of workplace misconduct.
Although there’s still no word on when we can expect to see EclipseCage has now settled doubts by confirming that the game is still in active development.
“Obviously development of Star Wars: Eclipse continues and we are eager to share more with you in the future,” he said.
what we know Eclipse will be an original Star Wars story set during The High Republic era, centuries before the Skywalker saga, also known as the “Golden Age of the Jedi” and the height of the Galactic Republic.
“Star Wars Eclipse is an intricate branching action-adventure game that can be experienced in many ways and puts the fate of multiple playable characters in your hands, created in collaboration between Quantic Dream and Lucasfilm Games,” reads the official synopsis.
Like previous Quantic Dream games, it has been confirmed that the game will feature an ensemble cast of multiple playable characters, “each with their own personality, motivation and impact on each other and the story as a whole”. It will also take place in an unknown section of the Outer Rim.
A CGI trailer was released alongside its first announcement, showing an assortment of aliens, planets, new and familiar, Jedi and even Master Yoda.
