Report Says Star Wars Eclipse Is Years Away With Funding In Doubt

Reports tie future funding to the performance of Quantic Dream’s new free-to-play game.

Overview

  • Insider Gaming said Monday that development on Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse has been very slow and is still years from completion.
  • Sources cited by multiple outlets say NetEase could rethink or cut investment if Spellcasters Chronicles, Quantic Dream’s free-to-play PC title, fails to bring in revenue.
  • Steam stats reported by outlets show Spellcasters peaked at 888 concurrent players and has often struggled to top 200, raising doubts about its ability to fund Eclipse.
  • Eurogamer and others report the team could speed progress by adding staff, but NetEase is described as cautious about expanding headcount without a clearer plan.
  • Quantic Dream last said in October 2025 that work continues, yet there is no release window; the game was first revealed with a cinematic trailer in 2021 and Bloomberg previously reported it had little built at reveal.
