More Star Wars Revivals Like The Force Unleashed Could Fill Time Before Star Wars Eclipse

During last year's Game Awards, a brand newStar Wars title from the developers of Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human was announced. Titled Star Wars Eclipse, details around the game are still pretty scarce, with its High Republic setting essentially being the only confirmed aspect.

But, according to a recent report from renowned industry leaker Tom Henderson, Star Wars Eclipse may not end up in gamers' hands until as late as 2027-2028, apparently due to some hiring difficulties at Quantic Dream. Although Star Wars fans are going to have plenty of opportunities to get their fix over the next few years, with titles like LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga landing soon and Respawn's trio of games being in development, there's always room for more Star Wars, and reviving some old classics may be a good way to fill the time before Eclipse's release.

Star Wars: The Acolyte May Finally Solve This Ongoing Franchise Problem

Over the last few years, Aspyr has released a handful of ports of older Star Wars titles to modern consoles. Beginning in 2019 with a port of Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, Aspyr has continued to release a Star Wars port every year, with classics like Episode 1: Racer, Jedi Academy, and Republic Commando all being playable on PS4 and Switch with some remastered visuals and quality of life improvements.

In Nintendo's February Direct, Aspyr announced that fan-favorite Star Wars: The Force Unleashed would be heading to the Switch in 2022. While these titles obviously don't offer any new experiences for those that have already played them, porting these older games to newer consoles does bring them to a fresh audience, and helps to tap into the nostalgia of long-time Star Wars
