Insider Gaming has recently reported that the highly anticipated game, Star Wars Eclipse, may face further delays beyond its expected 2026 launch window, citing insider sources. These sources also revealed that Quantic Dream's acquisition by NetEase was hinted at before the official announcement.

The report suggests that one of the key reasons for the extended development timeline is Quantic Dream's struggle to hire new staff due to ongoing repercussions from allegations of a toxic work culture and sexual harassment.

Star Wars Eclipse, set in the High Republic era, was initially unveiled at The Game Awards in 2021 and is said to incorporate the distinctive elements of a Quantic Dream game.

With Disney's desire to release two Star Wars games annually, Star Wars Eclipse appears to be the farthest from release, while the next anticipated release from the franchise is Star Wars Outlaws developed by Ubisoft Massive.
