Star Wars Eclipse Developer Quantic Dream Dismisses Delay Rumors
Despite numerous rumors to the contrary, developer Quantic Dream recently indicated that Star Wars Eclipse has not been delayed. The studio is well-known for projects like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human,which combine action gameplay with interactive drama elements. Last year the Star Wars Eclipse game trailer blew the minds of sci-fi fans, but many believe that the game will not arrive for years.
Announced by Quantic Dream at The Game Awards 2021, Star Wars Eclipse is slated to be the first video game set in the franchise's High Republic era. The multimedia project will connect various different Star Wars projects, including novels, comic books, live-action series and video games, all releasing over the next several years. The High Republic period apparently follows the Old Republic era, placing it roughly 200 years before the Star Wars films, and the narrative-driven Star Wars Eclipse will allow players to explore this setting for themselves. However, constant reports of a Star Wars Eclipse delay suggest that the game may not actually be ready until 2027 at the earliest.
