Star Wars Eclipse Still Alive, Quantic Dream Insists: ‘It's Simmering’ - IGN angielski

First announced back in 2021, Star Wars Eclipse has remained largely a mystery since its striking first reveal. Last year, developer Quantic Dream quashed rumours the game had been delayed and was suffering development trouble, noting it had yet to announce a release date. In a subsequent interview, Quantic Dream CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere said Eclipse would retain Quantic Dream's fundamentals despite being an action-adventure game at heart.

But 2023 has so far been a no-show for Star Wars: Eclipse, leaving some to wonder what’s happening with the game. During a recent interview with IGN at Tokyo Game Show 2023 in Japan, Lisa Pendse, Vice President of Marketing for Quantic Dream, described development as “simmering”.

“Can I say it still exists? Because it exists,” Pendse said when asked for an update. “It's just not ready. It's simmering.”

Star Wars Eclipse is a new action adventure game set in the High Republic era of Star Wars, a golden age of Jedi hundreds of years before the birth of Anakin Skywalker. While a lavish teaser trailer paints a thrilling picture of the game’s setting, details are still scarce.

In an interview with IGN last year, Quantic Dream’s development chief David Cage reiterated that Star Wars: Eclipse will be markedly different from Detroit: Become Human, which released on PlayStation 4 back in 2018 and PC the year after.
