When asked about the status of the game, Lisa Pendse cryptically remarked, "Can I say it still exists? Because it exists. It's just not ready. It's simmering."
Star Wars Eclipse has remained shrouded in secrecy, with Quantic Dream revealing minimal details. However, based on previous rumors, the game is expected to mark a departure for the French studio, known for its adventure games with heavily scripted action and Quick Time Events (QTE). Lisa Pendse has suggested that players can anticipate a more "continuous" gameplay experience without traditional "game over" screens, drawing parallels to Quantic Dream's approach in titles like 2013's Beyond: Two Souls.
She emphasized that Star Wars Eclipse retains the studio's signature elements, including intricately branching narratives and multiple playable characters. Notably, the game's design allows for characters to face dire consequences without ending the story, ensuring a unique and immersive player experience.
The revelation of the game's deliberate and steady development pace aligns with earlier rumors pointing to a 2026 target launch date. Star Wars Eclipse represents Quantic Dream's most ambitious project to date, explaining the studio's dedication to refining and perfecting it over time.
