Quantic Dream founder says Star Wars Eclipse still in development
Quantic Dream has been working away on its own original Star Wars game for years, but very few details have surfaced about it since its announcement in 2021. Now, Quantic Dream has spoken out about the project for the first time in a while.
In a new blog post, Quantic Dream founder, David Cage, revealed how Quantic Dream has transformed from a single-project studio into a multi-project studio, with multiple games in the works. This includes a first for this studio – a competitive multiplayer game. Typically, Quantic Dream has only produced interactive single-player adventures, so a step into the multiplayer realm is a bold move.
“This new title may surprise our fans as it is very different from what we have done so far. But taking risks, challenging ourselves, exploring new ways of playing and telling stories, and attempting what seems impossible, has always been part of our DNA.”
After quietly announcing this secret new multiplayer game, Cage also added that “development of Star Wars: Eclipse continues”, but there is still no word on when we might see more of the game.
While we know very little about Star Wars Eclipse currently, we do know that the game will be one of the first to explore the High Republic era of the Star Wars timeline. This era is set centuries before the main film saga, showcasing a period of time where the Jedi and Sith were both in their prime.
KitGuru Says: Right now might be the worst time in gaming history to be an unproven studio working on a new IP multiplayer project. The market is so dominated by just a handful of free-to-play shooters that breaking into this market as a newcomer seems impossible.
