Star Wars: Eclipse Dev Responds to Delay Rumors

The story-driven Star Wars game developed by Quantic Dream – known for titles such as Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human – was rumored to have been delayed by several years, and that it wouldn't see the light of day until at least 2027 or 2028.
The rumored reason for the delay stemmed around Quantic Dream allegedly having trouble with hiring staff to work on the project. Star Wars: Eclipse's announcement trailer debuted at the 2021 Game Awards show, where the developers made it clear that the game was still in early development and would take years before it was ready to release.

They went on to say that the recruitment process remained active and uninhibited, citing that the company has seen a workforce growth of 50% in 2021, and that job postings, such as the allegedly unfilled senior positions, can be deceiving.
While not much is known about Star Wars: Eclipse at this point, Quantic Dream has described it as an intricately branching action-adventure game, which is a genre that the developer is intimately familiar with.
