At long last, the silence around Star Wars: Eclipse is broken. Quantic Dream has issued a public update confirming that development of the project is continuing, despite years of quiet and speculation. This reassurance offers hope to fans of the saga who’ve been wondering what became of the game that was revealed at The Game Awards back in 2021.
What We Know So Far
Announced in December 2021, Star Wars: Eclipse is set during the High Republic era—a time of relative peace and expansion for the Jedi and the Galactic Republic. The game is being developed by Quantic Dream in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games and promises multiple playable characters, branching narratives, and new worlds to explore.
Despite numerous rumors of delays, studio troubles, and staffing challenges, Quantic Dream’s leadership has reassured stakeholders that the project is moving forward. CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière and founder David Cage both emphasized that their teams in Paris and Montreal remain engaged and unaffected by recent industry upheavals.
Why This Assurance Matters
The period following Eclipse’s announcement has been marked by speculation that the game might have been quietly shelved. The departure of lead writer Adam Williams in 2024 only added fuel to those rumors. Quantic Dream’s confirmation is therefore a key moment—it confirms that the project still has legs.
What’s Next for Eclipse
While a release date remains elusive, industry insiders estimate the game is still several years away—possibly as late as 2027 or beyond. In the meantime, Quantic Dream appears to be expanding its development scope: the studio recently revealed they’re working on a “competitive multiplayer” game in addition to Eclipse.
Final Thoughts
For fans of Star Wars gaming news and narrative-driven experiences, this update is a relief. Star Wars: Eclipse remains alive—perhaps quietly—but still very much in the works. Rare as they are, such confirmations matter, especially for a game with the ambition and historical weight of Eclipse.
So while you may still be waiting, rest assured: the project hasn’t vanished. Quantic Dream is still crafting that next great Star Wars experience, and we’ll be watching for more updates closely.
